Dear Friend,
You might find it so difficult to remember me. Though, it is indeed, a very long time. On my singular, I am much delighted and privileged to contact you again, after couple of years now.
It takes fate, courage and God's fearing to remember old friends and at the same time, to show gratification to them, despite circumstances that made things, not worked out as we projected then. I take this liberty to inform you that, the transaction we were pursuing together, finally worked out by God's infinite mercy and I decided to contact you, just to let you know.
I have conscience as a human being, due to your tremendous effort and contribution to make things work out in retrospect. Meanwhile, I must inform you that, I am presently in Sweden for numerous business negotiations and establishment.

Now, with my sincere heart, I have raised and signed an International Cashier's Bank Draft, to the tune of US$80,000.00 (EIGHTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) in your name as COMPENSATION to your dedication, humanity and contribution, as it were.
