My Dear,
It's been long I heard from you. Well, I just want to use this medium to
thank you very much for your earlier assistance to
help me in receiving the fund through your account. Besides I'm happy to
inform you that I have succeeded in transfering the
fund out of my home Country with the help of a new partner from Tuvalu and
Tuvalu is composed of 9 coral atolls along a 360
mile chain in Polynesia. They gained independence in 1978. The former Ellice
Islands..
My dear, everything was perfectly done because we strike the deal with one
of the Lady accountant who works with the
Remittance Department of the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) and she
rendered a tremendous help to us. Actualy my new
partner initiated this idea and everything worked out successfully. But in
appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in
receiving the Fund to your account Now I am writing you this mail to verify
if you have received the little token of
appreciation I made available for you, for your humanity concern as regards
my previous proposal for you to help me champion
the transaction which is already concluded.
Presently I'm in Tuvalu for investment projects with my own share of the
total sum. Please I didn't forget your past efforts
and attempts to assist me despite that it failed us some how. Now contact my
account keeper in Benin his name is Mr.Henry
