Subject: Compensation for your past efforts
—
Hello my good friend,
How are you today? Hope all is well with you and your family? I hope this
mail finds you in an excellent condition of health. But if you do not
remember me, you have received an email from me in the past regarding a
multi-million-dollar business proposal which we never concluded. I am using
this opportunity to inform you that this multi-million-dollar business has
been concluded with another Merchant who financed it to a logical
conclusion.
I thank you for your great effort towards our unfinished transfer of fund
into your account, due to one reason or the other best to known you at that
time. Due to the effort, courage, honesty and trustworthiness you showed
during the course of the transaction, I want to compensate you and show my
gratitude to you with the sum of $1.5 Million.
I have left a Cashier's check for you worth $1.5 Million cashable anywhere
in the world. My dear friend, please contact my account officer so that he
will send the Cashier's check to you without any delay. At the moment, I'm
very busy here in China, trying to invest my own share of the funds with my
new partner. Please accept this as my token of appreciation.
CONTACT: Mr. Oswald Lewis
EMAIL: [email protected]
You should send him your full Name, telephone number and contact address
and ask him to release the Cashier's check to you because i have instructed
him.
Thanks and God bless you.
Cordial wishes,
Dr. John Williams
