of the total sum. Meanwhile,i didn't forget your past efforts and attempts
to assist me in transferring those funds despite that it failed us some
how.Now contact my secretary in Cotonou,Benin Republic his name is Mr.Edward
Zoro on his-email address below:

EMAIL: ( edward_z01@yahoo.fr )
Ask him to send you the total of US$1.500.000.00 which i kept for your compensation
for all the past efforts and attempts to assist me in this matter. I appreciated
your efforts at that time very much. So feel free and get in touch with
my secretary and instruct him where to send the amount to you.
Below is the information he requires to deliver your fund to you:

Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share joy
after all the suffering at that time.At the moment, i am very busy here

at hand, finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to the secretary
on your behalf to receive that money, So feel free to get in touch with
