Subject: I am now successful
Dear Friend,
Compliments of the day and God\'s blessings
I am glad to
inform you that I have successfully concluded the transaction,the money
transferred to London. It was transferred through the assistant of your
country man Mr.Howard Ferraro who is a London base business man.
Currently I am in London with him,my wife and children.
However,I did
not forget you because you are the source of my success,you made me what
I am now though you are not there to complet this project with me but I
gave all the credit and thanks to you.I know it was not your fault or
rather your wish to back up on me and the transaction,I understand it is
simply because of what you must have heard about my continent and her
business opportunities. Actually there are still good ones for example
myself.
In appreciate of your assistance I have mapped out as a
compensation and wrote on your favor a Draft worth of
US$5,000,000.00.(Five Million United States Dollars Only) I left the
Draft with my attorney Sir.Koffi Emmanuel on my departure to London. I
would like you therefore,to contact him on the below info so that he can
mail it to you.
Attn: Sir. Koffi Emmanuel

here.Once again, thank you very much and remain
blessed.
