Dearly beloved,
how are you? I’m happy to inform you that, it will be my pleasure to transfer these funds under our western union office to your account , because receiver address and your address match the same national with the receiver. I am contacting you because the receiver has not cash the money in her account and it is reflecting in our system here in cotonuo.
I have trailed to reach the sender on the contact he gave to us in his form but the number is off and I believed the Germany man has gone back to his country thinking her girl has receiver the money.
The money is $25,000 paid to her account in manila, through Western Union Money Transfer.
All I need is a co-operation from you so that we can both work in hand to get this money and share it equally. I am the cashier here, the only thing i need to do is repay it to your account.
Please write me so that I will tell you we need to do.
Don’t put fear in your mind because it is safe and I don’t intend to loose my job, so I know that there will be no problem.
I just believe this is a Christmas opportunity for us.
God bless you.
Bright.
