Subject: My SPECIAL Friend Compensation!
Dear Friend,

I’m sorry but happy to inform you of my success in getting the USA, UK/ Dubai transaction completed and fund released/ transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from Portugal though I loved you and tried my best to involve you in the business, but you chose not to trust or believe me then and finally God decided the whole situations. I hope you can still remember me because it’s been awhile since we wrote last to each other.

However, Presently, I am in a very bad condition here in Portugal which I cannot tell of what will happen after now because I was diagnosed for cancer, so I decided to stay back and spend this last moment of my life with my daughter since I have not really had time for her and my aged Aunt. Meanwhile, I won’t forget our friendship, and your past efforts, plus the GOOD LUCK that brought me success.

However, I want to use this medium to thank you very much for your earlier assistance and prayers that made way for my success; thank you so much for being there at the right time. I am obliged to inform you that I succeeded in completing the deal and receiving the total payment of $26,691,464.00 (Twenty Six Million, Six Hundred and Ninety One Thousand, Four Hundred and Sixty Four dollars) which part of it is my 10% commission from the Dubai/ Texas oil business with the help of the new partner’ from Lisbon Capital of Portugal.

Part of this money is from my 10% commission from the Dubai/ Texas oil business which you are supposed to receive but was finally done under the name of the new partner, while the remaining is from my other share with Bain capital Investment, all the money was converted to Bain capital Investment share and was finally sold by the company.

Everything was perfectly done because we struck a deal with the admin of Bain Capital Investment International, who rendered a tremendous help to us. In appreciation of your help and good old time friendship, I decided to will and compensate you with the total sum of US$840,000 (Eight Hundreds Forty Thousand United States Dollars only) in International Certified Bank Draft, which can be collected at any bank of your choice. This is from my own share.

Now contact the stockbroker in UK, London who I handed over the US$840,000 Bank Draft on your behalf; his name is Mr. Kenneth Ward, and his email address is: ([email protected]) Ask him to send you the total Check of US$840,000 which I kept for you under his care before my exit in UK.

Feel free and get in touch with the UK Stock Broker, Mr. Kenneth, and instruct him where to send the amount to you.

Do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy after all the sufferers at that time. Remember that I have forwarded instructions to the stockbroker on your behalf to receive that check, so feel free to get in touch with him. He will send the amount in check to you.

Regards,
Oscar Richards
