Subject: Thanks for your efforts
Dear VICTIMNAME,
I am very happy to inform you about my success in getting the fund transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from Russia. Presently I'm in Russia with the partner for investment projects with the money.
Meanwhile, I did not forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite that it failed us some how. Now, I want you to contact my secretary, his name is Williams Addo and his email address is: cocoatree_info@hotmail.com ask him to send you the total sum of( FIVE MILLION USD) 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 touch with my secretary Williams Addo and instruct him where to send the amount to you.
Please do let me know immediately you contact him to receive it so that we can share the joy after all the suffer ness at that time.
In the moment, I am very busy here because of the investment projects which I and the new partner are having at hand. Finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to my secretary on your behalf to receive that money, so feel free to get in touch with Williams Addo and he will send the amount to you without any delay.
Wishing you all the best.
Regards,
Barrister Walta Kamaila
