Subject: For your past assistance
Good day,
How are you today, hope all is well with you and your family? If
so, thanks to God. I only want to show my gratitude for your
past assistance.
I hope this mail meets you in a perfect condition. I am using this
opportunity to thank you for your great effort to our unfinished
transfer of fund into your account due to one reason or the
other best known to you. But I want to inform you that I have
successfully transferred the fund out of my Country to someone else
account in Nepal who was capable of assisting me in this Great
venture.
Due to your effort, sincerity, courage and trustworthiness
you showed at the course of the transaction I want to compensate you
and show my gratitude to you with the sum of USD$1,500,000.00. I have
authorized Joe Mayer who is based in my country (South Africa) to issue
you the funds of which I directed him to deposit in account on your
behalf.
Though, I have been looking for your contact for a very long
time, but had no luck only to go back to my old computer of recent to
find your contact again. I know the $1.5M is not the percentage we
agreed at the inception of the unfinished transaction, but after the
investment done by me and the new partner who later assisted me to
finish the transaction, I was not left with much, so I decided to give
you part of what am left with because my heart has not been at rest
ever since when I remember your past assistance.
So therefore, contact Joe Mayer for the collection of the funds on
the contact information below of which I have given him instruction
on what to do as soon as you open contact with him:
Name: Joe Mayer
Email: rev_joemayer@myway.com
Contact him with immediate effect as I am
very busy here because of the investment projects which I and my new
partner are having at hand in Nepal. Finally remember that I have
forwarded instruction to him on your behalf to send the $1.5M to you as
soon as you contact him.
Please understand that the money can be paid to your account as
cash ($1.5M) via telegraphic wire transfer if you want. I will not be
able to send you any more emails as result of my tight schedule. I
also want you to understand that I am a real human with a heart.
Though, you never gave me all the truth I required, but all the
same, we thank God for a successful transfer of the funds at
the end of the day.
Kindly accept this token with good faith, as this is from the bottom
of my heart and also make sure you do not let any one know about
the gift until you receive it.
I will want to say a big thanks to you and your family.
Best regards,
James Veri.
