attempts to assist me in transferring those funds
despite that it failed us some how.
Now contact my Professor in Benin his name is PROFESSOR JAMES TOFA,on

Email jamestofa@aol.co.uk ask him to send
you the total of $500.000.00 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 touched with my Professor James Tofa,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 the sufferness
at that time. in the moment, Iam very busy here
because of the investment projects which me and the
new partner are having at hand, finally, remember
that I had forwarded instruction to the Professor on
your behalf to receive that money in cheque, so feel
free to get in touch with James Tofa, he will send
the amount to you without any delay.
