Compliments of the season!
Dear Esteemed Beneficiary

My Name is Mr. Ghodratollah Ahmadvand. I was once a victim of a scam for years, in fact I traveled to different countries in pursuit of my funds and lost all my savings and my company became completely bankrupt and my life almost became miserable.

I lost hope in every one including calls i receive and mails from lots of people pretending to be of help. Demanding for all kinds of documents was requested and I was meant to pay for them, but I was shocked to find out that all the documents/Paper works are fake that was why my efforts were in vain.

Gracefully I was very fortunate to come across Mr Ricardo Saias - Partner - CV Advisors LLC who now explained to me things I never knew that have kept me in a serious financial plight. He told me that it's very wrong for a bank or other important ministries in charge of finance to have direct contact with customers/beneficiaries.

It is compulsory for the beneficiary to have a genuine and reliable financial advisor who will stand on his/her behalf to secure all documents and then post them to the owner for proper endorsement of your signature for speed transfer of your payment.

Though after his explanation i still did not believe it because i am already in a state of confusion. But he was honest enough to tell me that all the documents i have been spending my hard earn money are free and not to be paid for and he also assure me that he will not charge me either for securing of the original documents or his consultation until when i have officially receive my fund, but that i will have to take care of REGULARIZING MY DEFECTIVE DOCUMENTS nothing more.

I was surprise to receive the original document in my home and then endorse them and was very shocked for my bank to contact me through my account officer to inform me that my account has been credited with my funds and I instant made a withdrawal to confirm that the transfer was real and by the grace of god I have been able to reestablish my business and family and i am happy today enjoying my retirement if you sincerely want to receive your payment you are to open communication.
