Subject: Re:please resend the funds
Dear Pastor Robert Ised,
Calvary greetings!
My attorney Mr. Joseph Osei Owusu was at the hospital early this morning that he told me that he has not heard a word from you yet and besides the director of operations of the security house in Spain called him and was complaining that up till now thet have not yet recieved the payment for the delivery of the consignment in your country .
They advice you use less cumbersome means of fund transfer so they can be able to recieve the funds and act according to agreed plans.
Get back to me ASAP with the latest development.
Remain Blessed!
Yours In Chris Jesus,
Mrs.Mercy Annan
