Subject: Hello my good friend.
Hello my good friend.
How are you today? Hope all is well with you and your family?, You may not
understand why this mail came to you. But if you do not remember me, you
might have receive an email from me in the past regarding a business
proposal which we never concluded. I am using this opportunity to inform you
that this business has been concluded with the assistance of another partner
from London who financed the transaction to a logical conclusion.
I thank you for your great effort to our unfinished transfer, Due to your
past effort, sincerity, courage and trust worthiness You showed during the
course of the transaction. I want to compensate you and show my gratitude to
you with the sum of USD$1.5Million but I did not hear from you since then I
went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or getting near to
expire Dr. Wilson the Director of Africa Development Bank told me that
before the draft will get to your hand that it will expire. So I told him to
cash the $1.5m USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS in cash payment to avoid losing the
funds since Foreign banks are reluctant to honor Bank Draft that comes from
Africa as I will be out of the country for 3 Months Course and I will not
come back till ending of November 2008.
What you have to do now is to contact WAN LI DA COURIER COMPANY as soon as
possible to know when they will deliver your Package to you because of the
expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge,
Insurance premium. The only money you will send to the Courier Company to
deliver your Package direct to your postal Address in your country is
($150.00 US) One Hundred & Fifty United States Dollars only being Security
Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far, I would have paid for that but
they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case
of demurrage.
