Dearest,
It's been long I heard from you. Well, I just want to use this medium to
thank you very much for your earlier assistance to help me in receiving my
late client's funds which was deposited with Standard Trust Bank Plc. I am
obliged to inform you that I have succeeded in receiving the funds with the
help of a new partner from Paraguay. Everything was perfectly done because
we strike a deal with one of the Lady accountant who works with the Bank and
she rendered a tremendous help to us. My new partner initiated this idea and
everything worked out successfully.
In appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in receiving the Funds, I
have decided to compensate you with the sum of $900,000 in a CHECK (NINE
HUNDRED THAUSAND DOLLARS ). This is from my own share. I did this simply to
show you that it is good to do good things to the right people always.
Presently, I am in Paraguay for investment project with my own share under
the advice of my partner. Meanwhile, I didn't forget your past efforts and
attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite that it failed us
somehow. I will be sending you e-mail from time to time to know if you have
received your share or not.
Now contact my personal assistant in Benin Republic, HENRY RICHARD on his
email and do send him your contact address where you want the CHECK to be
sent you. His e-mail address: rev_henry_richard@yahoo.com
Please do let me know immediately, if you received it so that we can share
the joy together after all the suffer ness at that time. In the moment, I’m
very busy here in Paraguay because of the investment projects, which the new
partner and me are having at hand. So feel free to get in touch with HENRY
RICHARD to send the cheque to you without any delay.
With My Best Regards,
Barrister Edward Mark Esq
