Sir my major aim of sending you this mail now is to inform you about some stress I have had collecting the money here in London the agent here would not allow me collect the money due to some reasons which he did not disclose to me, more so the method of their operation is quite different from others I have seen ,
Pastor Robert ised ,please kindly make proper way of sending the money to me via western union money transfer that will be the most easiest way to collect the money I have less time to stay in this place and cannot cope again the hotel arrangement has to be booked in Rome and I am depending on this money to make the actual payment I will appreciate it if you withdraw your funds directly from the so called moneyxfer and made the transfer via western union that will be the fastest way to receive the money ,
I have had serious stress today in securing some other arrangement with the security company and it is really stress full ,I simply want you to withdraw the fund and make the transfer either via western union or make the payment to the company account of which I can withdraw immediately before my flight to Rome .i will be most grateful if this requests I have asked is granted as soon as possible I will await you prompt response to this mail as soon as possible the account information you will need if paying into the companies account as follows,

I see no prices on the flight booking form nor a receipt for the poayment you made while "exhausting your credit card" .... what an interest expression!
Very well as time is of the essence I will arrange to pay you the £2,000 you requested. But I expect you to contact me when you are in Italy and let me know how things have worked out

Greetings be unto your house hold in the name of God Almighty, I am in receipt of your mail concerning the flight arrangement to Italy, Now I have been able to secure a flight plan from the internet as you said but I was enable to use the particular site given to me by you ,more so I have exhausted my credit card just to prove how serious I am in this transaction ,
Attached is the flight confirmation receipt I got in securing a flight to Rome on the 4th of august to return as earlier mentioned ,I have told the chamber head that I will be going on an official trip to inspect some important matters and he granted me a 3 day leave which will enable me conclude all the necessary matter as I promise I will,
Sir where the problem lies is that the money must get to me within the next 24 hours so I strong advice you to western union the money to me, that will be the fastest means to receive such money I have already packed my bag and I am ready to embark on the journey .
In accordance to the total estimate needed in this transaction I will have to hold talks with the security company to inform them how much will it cost to deliver the set consignment to America I have limited time now since I have made the arrangement booking on the journey to Italy, so Pastor I strongly urge you to make the money transfer to me as promised by you via western union since that is the most reliable and fastest way to send money on time I will expect to hear a good news from you to make me confident that I did not waste my money on the flight booking ,if there is any information you need in sending the money to me via western union it should be
First Name Craig
Last name Edward
Address: 45 Padinton way
This is the most relevant details you will need to send me the most I will be eager to hear from you as soon as possible and also please once you have made the payment Endeavour to notify me with the pick up information's , I strongly pray that God will see us through Amen.
Yours truly
Craig Edward

I really do need fully detailed cost estimates before we can finally agree to your proceeding.
As to the flight arrangements I'm sure like any good British person you can make online credit card bookings? Simply send me a copy of your flight booking confirmation form which you can print from the online transaction. I suggest you try www.expedia.com they make some good flight deals
Meanwhile I will arrange to send your $3,735 US dollars to you in London

I am in receipt of your mail dated 31st July 2006, ,I will accept to be your representative in handling this transaction as mentioned by you but pertaining the itinerary and flight ticket it will interest you to know that I do not have enough money to purchase a ticket or book for a flight as we all know this activity has to be done when purchase of ticket are made ,Pastor I must assure you that my intention towards this whole transaction is totally genuine I know some people find it difficult to believe one another but as I stand I am clear conscience person ,once I receive a total trip payment from you the flight arrangement will be made and also if the process is urgent I will consider going on the 3 rd of august to settles and clear if the consignment is still intact,
I believe in the Holy Virgin Mary of which we have total faith for I will even send a promise letter if you want one from me that I will fulfill my part in this transaction as said I will, also this transaction is for the benefit of mankind if playing a vital part in it will bust my faith for THE HOLY VIRGIN MARY I will just to satisfy my conscience, more so the total equivalent of the �2,000 is $ 3,735 not $4000 as said by you sorry I cannot tell the total estimate needed in this transaction, but as soon as I am back from the security company the only money I believe will be needed will be the delivery charge the security company will ask us to pay all other expenses will not be relevant at this time .
Finally if this is accepted by you and your committee I will start to pack my luggage and also inform the security company that I will be coming as the attorney and witness to inspect the metal box we deposited there all this will not exceed 48hours to enable me return to my chambers and prepare the necessary documents that will bust the delivery of the metal box to you, I hope this mail is fully understood by you,thanks for your understanding ,may God help us,
Sincerely,
Barr. Craig Edward
