Subject: PAYMENT INSTRUCTION
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 some how 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 Phillips Ngata
EMAIL: philiphnag@live.fr
Contact him and ask him to send you the total sum of One million Eight
hundred Thousand US Dollars in a certified international bank draft issued
from UBS AG, Switzerland, which I have kept for your compensation.
Best regards,
Sen.Johnson Williams
