Subject: My Dear Friend
My Dear Friend,
I am happy to inform you about my success in getting the funds transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from Paraguay. Presently I am in Paraguay for investment projects with my own share of the total sum.
Meanwhile, I did not forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring the funds despite that it failed us somehow. In appreciation of your assistance I have mapped out as compensation and wrote on your favour a bank draft of USD$1.2,000,000.00 MILLION which I left with my secretary on my departure to Paraguay.
Now contact my secretary Pastor John Smart with this email: pastorsmart1956@yahoo.fr and Ask him to send you the total sum of USD$1.2,000,000.00 MILLION which I kept for your compensation for all your past efforts and attempt to assist me in this matter.
Best Regards,
Tristan Hadida.
