Subject: URGENT RESPONSE PLEASE
Dear Mr. Singh,
Thanks for your urgent response to my mail. Please note that this is a serious and genuine deal that we both stand so much to benefit from when completed. I don’t know the deal you did before now and with whom and where it was done but you can count on me that this is completely different and will be officially genuine by the time I complete the necessary legal documentation which will present you as the true beneficiary to the fund. If you have any reason to still doubt it, you can feel free to fly down here while you stay with me and we both do all that is involved and you would be here and confirm from your bankers of the funds in your account before we both fly together to your place for the sharing.
Please feel very free to call me on the number 234 1 8756444. I will appreciate it if you send your number also and your bank account where the fund would be remitted.
I look forward to urgently hearing from you soonest.
Best Regards,
FRANK
