Hello My Good Friend,
How are you today? Hope all is well with you and your family. You may not
understand why this mail came to
you. But if you do not remember me, you might have receive an email from me
in the past regarding a
multi-million-dollar business proposal which we never concluded.
I am using this opportunity to inform you that I have successfully
transferred the fund out of my bank to my new
partner's account with Citigroup in London: www.citigroup.com for investment
opportunities. I am looking forward
to negotiate some business investment opportunities here in the UK.
Believe me, I have no idea exactly how much you spent so far in respect of
the transaction which includes your
air ticket, hotel bill etc. I have left a certified international bank draft
for you worth of US$850,000.00 cashable
anywhere in the world with instruction to deliver to you before leaving to
London for my investment project.
My dear friend I will like you to contact my secretary Mr. Sam Mensah, at: (
sammensah007@yahoo.cn) for
collection of your bank draft. You are also required to furnish him with the
below information:
1. FULL NAMES:
2. ADDRESS:
3. E-MAILADDRESS:
4. TELEPHONE NUMBER:
I authorized him to release the Bank cheque to you whenever you ask him for
it. Please, I will like you to accept
this token with good faith as this is from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks and God bless you and your family.
Regards,
