for investment projects with my own share of the total sum.

Meanwhile i didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in
transferring those funds despite that it failed us some how.Now contact my
secretary in Nigeria her name is MISS.JOY CARR and heremail address is (

kept for your compensation for all your past efforts and attempts to assist
me in this matter.I appreciated your efforts at that time very much .so feel
free and get intouch with my personal attorney MISS.JOY CARR and instruct
her where to send the amount to you.I am compensating due to the fact that
