Subject: THANKS:FROM MRS.WILLIAMS KOKOU.
ATTENTION:Â Dear Sir/ Madam,
Greetings in the name of the lord, l am happy to inform you about my success in getting the fund transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from Paraguay .
Â
Presently l am in Paraguay for investment projects with my own share of the total sum. Meanwhile, l didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite that it failed us some how.
Â
Now contact my personal adviser, his name is Barrister Martins Richard and his email address is EMAILS: martinsrichard6@yahoo.co.uk
and ask him to send you the total $250,000.00 (TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)which l kept for your compensation for all the past efforts and attempt to assist me in this matter.
Â
l appreciated your efforts at that time very much. So feel free and get in touch with our personal adviser Barrister Martins Ric hard, and instruct him where to send the amount to you. Barrister Martins Richard is a lawyer in our former church in Abidjan, Cote D Ivoire and he helped me to find a new partner that helped in the completion of the transfer.
Â
Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that l can share the joy after all the sufferness at that time. In the moment, l am very busy here because of the investment projects which l and the new partner are having at hand.
Â
Finally, remember that l had forwarded instruction to our adviser on your behalf to receive that money, so feel free to get in touch with the adviser Barrister Martins Richard, and he will send the draft to you without any delay.
Â
Get back to me once you contact him,
With best regards,
Mrs Williams Kokou.
