Thanks for your acceptance to send the money via western union I will await your prompt response before my flight tomorrow ,
I could not withdraw the money from the station due to the less time I have and the distance to the location is about 4 hours drive down town so going there will cost me a lot I simply want you to resend the money via western union to me at least that will be the most easiest way to pick it up due to the less time I have,
More so I have contacted the security company and informed them I will be in Rome in the next 24hours and there are awaiting my arrival also I am kind of broke now I thought of making hotel arrangement before getting to Rome ,but at this case I have to get there and make the reservation ,sir I want to assure you that I will do my possible best in making sure that this journey and matter works out to the glory of the blessed virgin mary ,I am eager to hear from you with the western union information's so that I can fully enback on my journey, may God be with us, thanks in advance,

I will discover what the problem is with Moneyxfer, I have never encountered this kind of issue before.
I have checked and there is a way we can use Western Union in Alabama but it requires quite some effort on your part. Have you spoke to the Moneyxfer customer services people?
Meanwhile enjoy your Super Kangaroo class flight to Rome! Do remember to contact me while you are there!

More so I have enback on the journey to Rome as I have earlier said and getting ready to go and check in my bags in the airport in respect to the flight,
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,
