This is the email:

Dear Friend,

Hope this mail find you in an excellent condition of health.I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred under the co-operation of a new partner from USA. Presently I'm in USA for investment projects with my partner.

Meanwhile, i did not forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring the funds despite the fact that it failed us some how.Hence,i have resolved to compensate you with the sum of $2 million.Now contact my Offshore Bank Account Officer to receive the $2 million dollars i left for you as your compensation..

His contact information is here below:

Name: MICHAEL IDRIS

Email: [email protected]

I have instructed him to pay you the total sum of $2 million dollars which I kept for you as your compensation for all your past efforts and attempts to assist me in this matter. I appreciated all your efforts to assist me at that time although it did not work out for both of us.So feel free to get in touch with my Offshore Bank Account Officer and let him know how he can move the $2 Million dollars to you as instructed.

Also do let me know immediately you receive the $2 Million dollars so that we can share the joy together. If you have any issue regarding the payment,please feel free to contact me.

Best regards,

Mr.David Abbey.
