Dear Good Friend, Compliments of the day and God's blessings .I am glad to
inform you that I have successfully concluded the transaction, the money has
been transferred to Swizerland.It is done through the assistant ofMR CHIGOZIE
OBI who is a Swizerland base business .Currently I am in
Swizerland with him and children. However, I did not forget you because you
are the source of my success,you made me what I am now though you are not
there to complete this project with me but I gave all the credit and thanks
to you. I know it is not your fault or rather your wish to back up on me and
the transaction. In appreciate of your assistance I have mapped out as a
compensation and wrote on your favour a certified bank draft worth of
$2,500,000.00 Million United States Dollar Only I left the draft with my
Secretary MR.chinedu NWANNE on my departure to Swizerland. I would like
you therefore, to contact him on the below info so that he can mail it to you.
ATTN: MR.chinedu NWANNE Email:chinedu0077@yahoo.fr I would have
love to call you from Swizerland where I currently reside but due to the
recent terrorist attack Mr.Ferraro advice me not to call because all
internatonal calls are been monitored by the Swizerland authority. Contact my
secretary in Republic of Benin so that he can release your bank draft to you.
I will stop here. Once again, thank you very much and remain blessed with
your family. Regards, MR CHIGOZIE OBI
