Dear friend
I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred
under the cooperation of a new partner from Nepal.
Presently I'm in Nepal 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 "Miss.Rosmary"
(rosemary_secretary@yahoo.com) ask him to send you the total sum of
$1,250,000.00 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 "Rosemary"
and instruct her 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 that time. In the moment, I am very bussy
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 Miss
Rosemary, she will send the amount to you without any delay.
with best regards,
Mr.Ignis Egwu .
