Dear Sir,
I promised to attach the vital Documents last week, but I have an accident, but your request will be send soonest. I love someone who always careful, yes you have to confirm the Transaction first, before committing yourself. I am a Family Man with Three Children. Its truth that a lot people are into scam. But you should not be afraid of me or afraid of Mr. Governor of Central Bank.
My Information will also be attached.
Listen Mr. Garrick, I received a letter from the Central Bank, about your Funds pending. You will not receive any mail from the Bank until their Requirement complete. After conforming about me, I think that we can proceed over the Transaction.
The Funds are there, but its will only cost us litter amount to conquer the Inheritance Funds. I have told you time without number that Nigerian Network is not good. You should be continuing trying the Number. I dont understand the meaning of the website that you send to me and your Passport didnt received too.
I will be back soonest.
Regards,
Barr. Ekeoma Benson (SAN)
