Dear Sir,

Pardon me but I only read English in a remote schoolhouse and it is not so excellent.

I might have already sent you regarding a private matter. Would you please read the attached email and tell me whether all is in order? I am unclear of the next action to take.

Thank you.

Attn My Dear Friend.

I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from Paraguay. Presently I am 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 Anthony Jackson on anthony_jackson008@yahoo.fr ask him to send you the total $800.000.00 EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND USD ONLY 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 secretary 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 suffer ness at that time. in the moment I am 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 secretary on your behalf to receive that money so feel free to get in touch with Mr.Anthony Jackson he will send the amount to you without any delay.
