Good day my good friend

It is my pleasure to reach you after our unsuccessful attempt on our
business transaction. Well, I just want to use this medium to thank
you very much for your earlier assistance to help me in receiving the
funds.

I am obliged to inform you that I have succeeded in receiving the
funds with the help of a new partner from South America, Mr. Alfredo
Gomez Castillo. Everything was perfectly done because we strike a deal
with one of the Lady Accountant who works with the Federal Ministry of
Finance, and she rendered a tremendous help to us. My new partner
initiated this idea and everything worked out successfully.

In appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in receiving the
funds, I have decided to compensate you with the sum of
$1,500.000.00(One Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) in a cashiers Check, this is from my own share. I did this
simply to show appreciation to you for your kind support and
assistance even though we couldn't succeed due to some unforeseen
circumstances. Presently, I am in Saudi Arabia for an investment
project with my own share under the advice of my partner.

In the light of the above, you are therefore to contact my Secretary
in Cotonou Benin Republic his name is Mr.Paul Edward, do send him your
contact address such as Your Full Name, Address, Country, and
Telephone Number where you want the cashier's Check to be sent to you.
