Subject: I NEED YOUR CONSENT TO SEND THE FUNDS.
Hello,
Greetings!
There is no way for me to know whether I will be properly understood, but it
is my duty to write and reach out to you. For I know that you can be trusted
to handle this project effectively without making me regret it.
This email is very precise and mutually beneficial if taken in the true
context.
1. I want your assistance to consummate a deal worth $13.731 million.
2. Your share of the deal is 20% upon completion
3. The duration of the project is within 2-3 weeks
4. There is no risk whatsoever involved, and the existing law backs it.
All I need now, is your consent and contact details to get started, and I
will provide the details.
Regards.
Martins Anderson.
