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.
