Subject: YOUR COMPENSATION FROM BARR USMAN
My dear frined
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
that I sent to you via diplomatic courier services,
without any positive outcome.
I am obliged to inform you that I have succeeded in
receiving the consignments 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 courier company and she
rendered a tremendous help to us. My new partner
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 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 Mr.John
akidi 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
His e-mail address:mr_john002@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, I’m 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,
Barr, Usman
