Subject: PLEASE UPDATE ME IMMEDIATELY.
Hello Mr Sterling,
I have been busy all these while with my work and i have not heard
from you atleast for you to update me if the bank has contacted you and i
don't even know if you have contacted the bank as i told you so that the
bank will know that you are the Beneficiary of the said funds, i am working
towards everything so that we will achieve our aim and i hope that in less
than few weeks from now everything will work accordingly and i believe God
so much for that, also i have established your name and your informations to
the bank as the Beneficiary of the funds.
Moreso, I want you to know that the year is allmost coming to an end and we
have to do our possible best to get this funds before the Federal Goverment
will start their Auditing for the year.
I called you yesterday and your wife picked the phone and it's unfortunate
that i wasn't understanding her language and i was telling her to give you
the phone so that i can speak with you. Well all the same, please try and
get back to me so that i will know the next step to follow.
take good care of your self and remain blessed.
Yours,
Dr Jacob Harry.
