Dear Friend,

our business transaction,I am obliged to inform you that I have
succeeded in receiving the funds with the help of a new partner
from Paraguay Mr Fernando Alvaro Gomez, Everything was
perfectly done because we strike a deal with one of the Lady
Accountant who works with the Ghana Ministry of Finance (G.M.F)
in Accra Ghana.
I have decided to compensate you with the sum of $850,000,00. Eight
Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars in a Cashier's cheque.
This is from my own share I did this simply to show appreciation to
you for your kind support.
Presently I am in Paraguay for investment project with my own share
under the advice of my new partner.
I will be sending you e-mail from time to time to know if you have
received your own share or not In the light of the above you are
therefore to contact my lawyer Paul Adams in Accra Ghana
and do send him your name,phone number and your contact address
where you want your cheque to be sent to you, His e-mail address is (

Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share
the joy together after all the suffering at that time In the moment I
am very busy here in Asuncion the capital city of Paraguay because of
the investment projects which the new partner and I are having at hand
So feel free to get in touch with him to send your cheque to you without
any delay.
