Dear Mr Joe Zapala, Complement of the season and thanks for your response. I am also glad and happy that you are willing to assist me in settling down in the state. I have been through so much that your willingness to assist me is amazing. People took advantage of me all because of what they could get from me. I never knew that this country is that terrible. I hope and pray that I can relied on you to see me through. I want to assure you that everything in regards to this transaction is very legal. I did not steal anybody money and I am not running from any government or anybody for that matter. All I need is for this money to get safely to US and I was assure by the security company that they will ensure that. I am going to pay all the charges they might ask for here. I do not mind investing in your business so long you give me a full detail of your line of business and I would also like to buy a house so that I can stay when I get there. Anyway we will work all these out later on. Meanwhile, you did not specify when to call you, so I am going to call you tomorrow, but you can also call me on my private number +2348033019078. Presently, the money is lodged in a security company here in Nigeria in three boxes. You will need to send your address to me so that I can apply for a change of beneficiary on your behalf. I will also find out all the modality that will ensure a smooth transaction. I happened to be a very private individual and I would want you to really keep this transaction private. Most importantly, I would want to count on you as a friend I could trust. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Etoh Mobutu. __________________________________________________ FREE voicemail, email, and fax...all in one place. Sign Up Now! http://www.onebox.com--- End Message ---
