Greetings Amarjit Singh
I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from Peru. Presently Im in Peru 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 even if it failed us some how.
Now contact my personal assistant in Abuja, his name is Mr. Shade Kovo on his email I.D (shadekovo@diplomats.com) and ask him to send you the total of $800.000.00 (Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) 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 personal assistant Shade Kovo 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 sufferings, which has been rewarded now. Im very busy here because of the investment projects, which me and the new partner have at hand.
Finally, remember that I have forwarded instructions to my personal assistant on your behalf to receive that money, so feel free to get in touch with Shade Kovo, he will send the amount to you without any delay.
Yours Faithfully,
Yomi Williams.
