Subject: MY REGARDS TO YOUR FAMILY
Compliments of the season,
I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting
those funds transferred under the cooperation of a new
partner from INDIA. Presently i'm in INDIA 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 her name is Mrs.Eunice.Samba on (mrs_eunice@clerk.com),ask her to send you the total sum of $400,000.00 which i kept for your compensation for all the past efforts and attempts to
assist me in our transaction earlier. I appreciated your efforts at that time very much. so feel free and get in touch with my secretary and i have instructed her
to ensure that the amount is released to you.
Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy after all doubt and suffering at that time, Im very busy here because of the investment projects which my new partner an i are engaging upon.
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 Mrs.Eunice.Samba, she
will send the amount to you without any delay.
Yours Faithfully,
DR.STANLEY.EDEN.
