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
of Dr.Job John 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.john.Anekwe
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.john.Anekwe
Email: john.anekwe@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,
Dr.Job John
