My dear friend
How are you today?
It's been long I heard from you. Well, I just want to use this medium to
thank you very much for your earlier assistance to help me in receiving
the funds,without any positive outcome. I am obliged to inform you that
I have succeeded in receiving the funds with the help of a new partner from
Paraguay. Everything was perfectly done because we strike a deal with one
of the Lady accountant who works with the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF)
and she rendered a tremendous help to us. My new partner initiated this
idea and everything worked out successfully.In appreciation of your earlier
assistance to me in
receiving the Funds.
I have decided to compensate you with the sum of $800,000 in a Cashier's
cheque (Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). This is from my
own share. I did this simply to show you that it
is good to do good things to the right people always.
Presently, I am in Paraguay for investment project with my own share under
the advice of my partner. Meanwhile, I didn't forget your past efforts and
attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite that it failed
us somehow. I will be sending you e-mail from time to time to know if you
have received your share or not.
Now contact my personal assistant in Benin Mr David Ashmore his e-mail address
is (david_ashmore01@yahoo.fr) .
Please do let me know immediately if you receive it so that
we can share the joy together after all the suffering at that time. In the
moment, I am very busy here in Paraguay because of the investment projects,
which the new partner and I are having at hand. So feel free to get in touch
with young Ashmore to send the cheque to you without any delay.
With My Best Regards,
Barrister Edo Musa
