Subject: How are you today?
My dear freind
How are you today?
It's been long I heard from you. Well, I just want to use this medium to
thank you very much for your earlier assistance to help me in receiving the
funds, without any positive outcome. I am obliged to inform you that I have
succeeded in receiving the funds with the help
of a new partner from Paraguay. Everything was perfectly done because we
strike a deal with one of the Lady accountant who works with the Federal
Ministry of Finance (FMF) and she rendered a tremendous help to us. My new
partn er initiated this idea and everything worked out successfully.In
appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in receiving the Funds, I
have decided to compensate you with the sum of $850,000 in a Cashier's
cheque (Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars). This is
from my own share. I did this simply to show you that it is good to do good
things to the right people always. Presently, I am in Paraguay for
investment project with my own share under the advice of my partner.
Meanwhile, I didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in
transferring those funds despite that it failed us somehow. I will be
sending you e-mail from time to time to know if you have received your
share or not. Now contact my personal assistant in Nigeria .IRUKA .I.
CHUKWUMA on my former telephone line and do send him your contact address
where you want the cheque to be sent to you. The phone numbers, which you
will reach my personal assistant once again, is 234-80-37 20 23 07 .His
e-mail address: irukachu20@yahoo.com Please do let me know immediately you
receive it so that we can share the joy together after all the suffering
at that time. In the moment, Iam very busy here in Paraguay because of the
investment projects, which the new partner and I are having at hand. So
feel free to get in touch with young Mark to send the cheque to you without
any delay.
With My Best Regards,
MR JOHN PETER
