DearJoe Mannix
This is to acknowledge the receipt of your mail. Iam very eager to conclude
this transaction with you in full confidence trusting in you and believing
in God that you will never let me down in future.
I want to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% risk free as
efficient reliable as this transaction. Be it known that the fund for
transfer does not originate from drug or money
laundering. As such you should feel very free in doing this business.
But my only worry is the security and safety of this fund once it
transferred to your account, as we did not know each other before. But I
believe that the trust and confidence I have in you
will never betrayed.
As of the moment, you should not inform your bank that huge amount of money
is coming to your account, until after you must have sign the necessary fund
release order form, as that is when all the necessary legal documents to
back-up the fund will be in place, and the documents will accompany the fund
to your account so that your bank or your government will not question the
transfer, as documents speaks more than word. So you should not alert.
My bank name is FIRSTRAND BANK SOUTH AFRICA.

Remember this is very confidential, meanwhile no body should know about this
transaction, the only person involved in my side is the management of the
bank, and you knows that I must involve him for the success of this
transaction. But he don't want to play an open role due to his possition in
the ofiice.
I will secure all the necessary documents that will accompany the fund to
your account so that your bank or your government will not question the
transfer. I am very ready to establish a long solid
lasting business relationship with you in full confidence that you will
never let me down in future. I will start the transfer process on receiptof
your account information with full assurance that you will lead me to the
promise land.,
