Dear friend,
I am very happy to inform you about my success in getting that fund transferred to a Swiss account. I did not forget your past effort to assist me despite the fact that it failed us somehow so I kept some amount for you in my own appreciation for your compensation. Now I want you to contact my secretary on the information below
NAME: Mr. Clems Philip
EMAIL: clems_philip01@yahoo.fr
Phone: +229 9340 8361
Contact him and ask him to send you the total sum of Eight Hundred and fifty Thousand US Dollars in a certified international bank draft issued from UBS AG, Switzerland, which I have kept for your compensation.
Best regards,
Sen. Jiga Ahmed
