I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting the fund

transferred under the cooperation of a new partner.. Presently i'm

in Paraguay 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,his name is MR JAMES and his email

address iS jmsartworkuk@aol.com

ask him to send you the total $8,000.000.00 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 touched with my secretary MR JAMES 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 sufferness at that time. in the moment, i am very

beazy here because of the investment projects which me and the new

partner are having at hand, 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 MR JAMES and he will send the amount to

you without any delay.

with best regards

Dr kENNEDY
