Meanwhile, I did not forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite that it failed us somehow. Now contact my secretary in Nigeria his name is MARK OKOH with his email address is: ma_okoh@yahoo.com ask him to send you the total $3.5 million U.S dollars which I kept for your compensation for all your 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 MARK OKOH 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 sufferness at this time, in the moment, Im very busy here because of the investment projects which me and the new partners are having at hand, finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to the secretary on your behalf to receive those money, so feel free to get in touch with MARK OKOH to send the amount to you without any delay.
