My Good Friend,

Do I know you?

I’m happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from paraguay.

Isn’t that nice.

Presently i’m in London for investment projects with my own share of the total sum. Meanwhile, I didn’t forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite that it failed us some how.

You didn’t forget something that never happened? Amazing…

Now contact my secretary in Nigeria, his names are Mr. Mark Egondu to send you the total of US$950,000 (Nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars) which I have kept for your compensation for all the past efforts and attempts to assist me in this matter.

I appreciated your efforts at that time very much. so feel free and get in touched with my secretary Mark Egondu and instruct him where to send the amount to you.

get in touched with & his names are – time to get a proofreader.

Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy after all the sufferrings at that time.

WTF?

At the moment, I am very busy here because of the investment projects which I and the new partner are having at hand.

I’m sure sending out email scams takes a lot of time…

Finally, remember that I had forwarded instructions to the secretary on your behalf to receive that money, so feel free to get in touch with him at; agbafoundations@myway.com

Which just happens to be the return address of this email.

He will send the amount to you without any delay.

<sarcasm>
I’m sure he will.

Give him address where he will send you the cheque.

Regards,
Dr.Saidou Agbantou.

You say you’re in London, but this email comes from a machine in Russia.
