Dear Sir/Madam,

My Name is Mr. Francis Morgan the Chief Operating Officer in Accounting Unit of Standard Bank of South Africa (SBSA) This message might meet you in utmost surprise. However, it's just my urgent need for a foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction.

Upon maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his contract employers that MR.
