Subject: THANK YOU
Dear Friend,
It is my pleasure to reach you after our unsuccessful attempt on our business transaction. I am obliged to inform you that I have succeeded in receiving the funds with the help of a new partner from Portugal Sir. Fernando Almeida Defavier. Everything was done perfectly because we struck a deal with one of the Lady Accountant who works with the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF), and she rendered us tremendous help.
In appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in receiving the funds, I have decided to compensate you with the sum of $850,000.00(Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars) in a Cashier's cheque. This is from my own share. I did this simply to show appreciation to you for your kind support and assistance even though we could not succeed due to some unforeseen circumstances.
Presently, I am in Portugal for investment project with my own share under the advice of my partner Sir. Fernando Almeida Defavier .In the light of the above, you are therefore, to contact my Secretary, Dr. Mike Egbo, and do send him your contact address where you want the cheque to be sent. His e-mail address is: mikeegbo1000@uku.co.uk.
Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy together after all the suffering at that time.
In the moment I am very busy here in Lisbon the capital city of Portugal because of the investment projects, which the new partner and I are having at hand. So feel free to get in touch with him to send the cheque to you without any delay.
Best Regards,
Dr Ejima Egbo
