Subject: Thanks Mr.Ellery Wechs..


Hello Mr Wech,
Thanks for your response and understanding towards this email, actually this is for both of us,we need each other i think so.Honestly i understand everything you said about your past, all because i had unsuccessful attempts to
locate any member of my late client's family Mr. Henry Patrick to put claims on this money as his
next kin that was why i contected you and i appologise for every inconveninces this may have cos you.
Regards to your question i assure you of a legit transation,like i stated in my previous email.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law
both international and local. All I require from you is your honest
co-operation to enable us conclude this deal on a clean slate without any hitch.

Your involvement in this transaction will not lead you into any breach of the law now or in future. All would be done legally
For the urgency and further discussion please i will need to speak with you on phone, so i need a number to call.

Awaiting your response.
Thanks

Barr John

Much thanks for the reply.

To be honest, I am not a person who concern myself about the supernatural but a few little weird things have been occurring to me, including your letter. I was thinking if I should treat them as an omen.

Anyhow, I have been sifting through your mail and I am unsettled that I understand it all comprehensively.

In the past I had transferred some money to someone who wrote something almost identical as yours. She has still not replied my last 14 letters and this makes me a little distrustful about you.

I hope you don't mind me for asking but are you bona fide what you are proposing is legal?

It would be kind if you would please answer? I would like something genial from you.

be well,

Mr Wechs
