Subject: YOUR COMPENSATION FROM MRS. Patricia CHOKI
COMPENSATION
FROM MRS. Patricia CHOKI
REGARDS, ON A VERY HAPPY NOTE AND BEARING IN MIND THE STAUNCH COMMITMENT
THAT YOU HAD PUT INTO THE QUEST TO SEE THAT THE FUNDS WAS TRANSFERED TO YOU
FOR CLAIM AS WE HAD EARLIER ARRANGED BUT TO NO AVAIL, I WRITE TO LET YOU
KNOW THAT I HAVE SUCESSFULLY TRANSFERED OUT THE FUNDS.
SINCE ALL OUR EFFORT IN CONJUNCTION WITH YOURS WERE MET WITH VARIOUS
FAILURES AND DISAPPOINTMENTS AFTER THE OTHER, THERE WAS AN INFLUENTIAL PARTY
FROM BRITAIN THAT WAS APPROACHED ON OUR BEHALF BY A FINANCE & MANAGEMENT
SUPPORTS INITIATIVES(A CONSULTING FIRM) AND WITH HER (INFLUENTIAL PARTY)
IMPUTES, THE FUND WAS PAID OUT AND I HAVE COLLECTED MY OWN SHARE. PRESENTLY,
I AM IN ECUADOR WHERE, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A CORE INVESTOR IN THE MINING
SECTOR OF THEIR ECONOMY, WE ARE INVESTING IN THE INDUSTRY
BUT, I AM NOT OBLIVIOUS OF THE FACT THAT YOU DID YOUR BEST IN THAT CONTEXT,
ALTHOUGH, IT SEEM THAT ELEMENT OF DOUBT CREPT IN. YOU WERE NOT TO BLAME, AS
THERE WERE MANY CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WOULD REFLECT SUCH SCEPTICISM TO ANY
REASONABLE BEING.
FOR YOUR SINCERE BUT UNFRUITFUL SACRIFICES, I PRESSURIZED THE INFLUENTIAL
WOMAN TO CONCEDE SOME AMOUNT AS COMPENSATION TO YOU, FOR THE RESOURCE THAT
YOU IMPLUNGED EVEN YOUR TIME AND INCONVENIENCES.
THE SUM OF ONE MILLION TWO HOUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLAR ($US 1.2,MILLION) WAS
WHAT SHE AGREED TO AS YOUR COMPENSATION VALUE, AND THE SUM WAS PUT IN A
CHECK BUT, BECAUSE OF MY APPOINTMENT IN ECUADOR AND TOO, I COULD NOT GET
THROUGH TO YOU SINCE YOUR NUMBER AT ANY TIME INDICATED "NOT IN USE" AND I
WAS FINDING IT VERY DIFFICULT SOURTHING OUT YOUR EMAIL CONTACT THEN AS I HAD
A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH MY FORMER EMAIL ADDRESS, I THEN HANDED IT OVER TO THE
SECRETARY OF THE FINANCE & MANAGEMENT SUPPORTS INITIATIVES, THE CONSULTING
FIRM.
HIS NAME AND EMAIL ADDRESS IS : MR. KEVIN CASTROW ; castrowkevin@yahoo.com
THE SECRETARY IS VERY MUCH INFORMED BY ME ABOUT YOU AND I INSTRUCTED HIM TO
HAND OVER THE CHECK TO YOU AS SOON AS YOU CONTACT HIM. NOTE THAT AT TIMES I
WILL BE IN THE SITE AND THE INTERNET DOES NOT WORK THERE. I CAN BE REACHED
ONLY WHEN I AM IN THE CITY IF THE NEED ARISES.
THANKS AND GOD BLESS
MRS Patricia CHOKI
REMEMBER TO CONTACT MR KEVIN CASTROW AT ; castrowkevin@yahoo.com
