Dear VICTIMNAME,

Before i go on ,i want to use this opportunity also to show apprecaition for your humility in finding time to responding to my need even when you dont seems to beleive the genuiness of my course but i only hope that time will tell.
Please if you go through my first mail to you i think a closer look at it will enable you have a better picture of what we are going through and why my party is making this effort in this direction to me personally i do not misunderstand your action and dout in this project it is all in accordance to normal human reasoning only that in life one may once in a life time need to cut across board because you can never say never. perhaps if you are in our choes you may go beyond the steps were taking to redress the injustice in our environment.

Meanwhile for your better understanding i do not have any company ,i am an intermidiary representative to my political party not a buisness out fit or profit oriented enterprise as you may think. our goal for now is towards putting up a die hard resistance to the incumbent nomatter what it will take.

With the above clearifications, i hope you will be of good help to me ,i do sympatize with you on your past experience it is unfortunate but I am not from Cote d'Ivoire. and i will give you all proves before we start up.this is my phon number 0034-6506-77802 will help me alot and you will never regret working with me.

While looking foward to hearing from you soon,i thank you in anticipation,

DENIS AUDU
