earlier assistance to help
me in receiving the funds.I am obliged to inform you that I have succeeded
in receiving the funds

Accountant who works
with the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF), and she rendered a tremendous
help to us. My new

have decided to

thousan USD($1.500,000.00

to show appreciation
to you for your kind support and assistance even though we couldn't succeed
due to rigorous and
time consuming process involved in clearance with various agences.
Presently I am in South Korea for investment project with my own share
under the advice of my
partner In the light of the above, you are therefore to contact my personal
secretary his name
