Dearest Sterling Kustmacher,
How are you today, I presume fine? I write to confirm the receipt of your email and the contents fully understood. I really appreciate your prompt response and as such, I want to re-assure you that all the legal documents will be procured in your favor which will empower you as the bona fide beneficiary regardless your relationship with the deceased (Mrs. Stella OBASANJO) therefore; I do not want you to entertain any fear or panic as every arrangement will be put in place for a successful conclusion hence; YOUR HONESTY and TRUST are required.
It's true that one has to "be hesitant of such a transaction" but you must know that Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serve to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
It will interest you to know that I have started working on the documentation in your favor which will enable the security vault and finance company release the said fund to you as the bona fide beneficiary of the said consignment hence; you will be recognized as the colleague to the depositor (Late Chief Mrs. Stella Obasanjo) regardless your relationship with the deceased. I want you to know that we may at present reside in different countries, speak different languages, have different religious beliefs and even skin colors, work in different occupations, eat different foods, wear different clothes, and so on but I can assure you that it doesn't matter for the man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes than he who distrusts them, "Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.
Note that as soon as all the relevant documents are procured, I will as a matter of urgency, forward to you the Certificate of Deposit, that has to be forwarded to the office of the Executive Director of the finance / security company. However; I advise you to send copy of your International Passport or Driver’s License via email attachment as soon as possible knowing fully well that the Company has issued me a notice to provide his next of kin or Beneficiary by WILL otherwise have the account confiscated and the money will reverted to the ownership of the finance institute if nobody applies to claim the fund and it will not make us any good as I intend to go into joint venture with you in your country as I HOLD YOU ON TRUST AS A FRIEND AND PARTNER IN PROGRESS.
I hope to hear from you soon. Please call it can be transfered pending on your instruction to the security company in london.
Sincerely yours,
Sir Patrick Gillam
