Text

Dear friend,

How have you been? It has probably been quite a long time since we last communicated. I am writing to tell you about the bank deposit of a foreign businessman that I once mentioned.

I am pleased to inform you that I have successfully transferred the money with the help of a new business partner. At the moment I am staying in India for investment purposes, but I have not forgotten your earlier attempts to help me.

As a sign of my gratitude, I have decided to reward you. I have arranged a Visa ATM card in your name with 450,000 US dollars on it. To receive the card, please contact Pastor Johnson James by email.

I believe this reward will help both of us. Please let me know as soon as you receive the money.

Best regards,

Mrs Sunie Wendy
