Subject: THANK YOU
Dear Sir,
I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred
under the cooperation of a new partner from paraguay. Presently i'm in
Paraguay 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 in Nigeria his name Luke O Okeke on
luke_60_60@yahoo.com and ask him to send you the total of $800.000 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 Luke 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 that time. in the moment, I’m very busy 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 Luke
o Okeke, he will send the amount to you without any delay.
Regards,
Paul Okoye
