Subject: COMPENSATION FOR YOUR PAST


Dear Partner

I am very sorry for the delay in responding to your
mails. I had a little
internet problem but it is over now and I am glad I
finally got hold of you.

We lost so many email addresses but I am trying to
gather as much as I can
though with lots of mixups. I'm happy to inform you
about my success in
getting the fund transferred under the cooperation of
a new partner from
Paraguay.

Presently I’m in Paraguay 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, his name is Mr John
Amadi and his email
address is jo_amadi2005@yahoo.com.

Ask him to send you the total $800.000.00 (eight
hundred thousand dollars) in a Certificate Bank Draft
which I kept for your compensation for all the past
efforts and attempts to
assist me in this matter, I appreciated your efforts
at that time very much.

So feel free and get in touch with my secretary Mr
John Amadi and instruct
him where to send the amount to you. Please do let me
know immediately you
receive it so that we can share the joy after all that
we went through at
that time.

In the moment, I am very busy here because of the
investment
projects which I and my new partner are having at
hand, finally, remember
that I had forwarded instruction to the secretary on
your behalf to receive
that money, so feel free to get in touch with him and
he will send the
amount to you without any delay.

Regards
Mr Peter Daniel
