Subject: your compensation
Hello my Dear.
How are you and Family?
I'm delighted to write/inform you towards the success in getting the fund transferred under the cooperation of a partner.Presently I'm in Monaco for investment projects with my own share of the total sum.
Meanwhile, considering the fact of human sympathy,my partner said that he will never forget all your previous efforts and attempts to finalise this transferring of the fund despite that it failed some how.
Now I am contacting you in respect of the instruction given to me by my business partner who has asked me to contact you on his behalf and compasate you for your efforts in getting those funds transferred. though according to him you had to stop on the way.you should kindly contact his former secretary in Republic of Benin.
Name;MS MARY DAN.
Email;ms_mary_dan_01@yahoo.com
please ask her to send you the Draft of $1.250.000.00 which he kept for your compensation of all the previous efforts you made in the transaction. he appreciated your efforts as at that time very much. So feel free and get in touch with him and instruct him where he should send the amount to you.
Please kindly let me know immediately you receive it so that i will be sure that you have recieved it. I am very-very busy at the moment here because of the investment projects which I and the partner are having at hand here in Monaco. Finally,
note that I had forwarded instruction to his secretary on your behalf. and she will send the Draft to you without hesitation.
Regards,
Mr.m Idris
