Hello my friend!

A few weeks ago I for some reason started to have more and more dreams about foreign cash notes and gemstones tumbling all around me. And then I unexpectedly managed to win a pleasant scooter bike in a lottery. And next I read your letter. Is it not a strange coincidence? I hope that I have not mentioned to you about this before and am not boring you again but I just found it so wonderful.

Please do understand that I had said earlier that I have resolved to proceed with this fine offer. All I am needing now is please for you to demonstrate some unmistakable evidence of how it will work.

Also I have been worried: what about EEC capital gains taxation?

Imminently I look forward to read a helpful reply from you soon.

yours truly,

Ms Bosch
