Subject: ALWAYS UPDATE ME YOUR COMPLIANCES WITH THE BANK FOR REASONS



Dear Ms Holde Fuerstein,

I once again thank you for your immense response to my mail and your
willingness to verify actuallly if what my humbleself is proposing on you as
a foreigner only to stand firm and strong to put claim on the funds
discovered which the account number informations is upon the application
form attached to you for submission directly to the office of the
International Remittance Director for acknowledgement and approval by the
bank while I will be monitoring the background of this transaction to make
sure nothing deprives us from actualizing this chance and opportunity as I
intend resigning from my office to fly over to your country and meet with
you for buying some Estate houses and five stars hotels in your country with
some other lucreative ventures in your country or any country of your choice
as we hope to introduce a standard and classified partnership in your
country to the glory of God at the fullness and conclusion of this
transaction.

I think at this stage and level in life that there's no need of bragging in
life as I cannot with my status start proposing to a foreigner what is not
real but I am assuring and re-assuring you that this is 100% riskfree
transaction and you have nothing to fear or bother as all and every
modalities to execute and perfect this deal brother has been put in place
pending when I will see an honest person who is also a foreigner that will
be trustworthy and reliable to champion this transaction.

Kindly inform me if you had sent the application form attached for your
accurate and well filling in the gabs before submitting to the bank for
bank's acknowledgement. Please avoid and never reach to Dr.Rahim Kaz neither
will you disclose any of our compliances with anybody around you atall to
avoid the prying eyes of the enemies tracking our efforts down.

What has been your compliances with the bank? Kindly inform me pls.
