Dear

It is good you have responded on time and I am glad you can handle this GIFT that I am going to hand over to you, I hope that this money will be a blessing to you and all whom you might choose to share with.

As I wrote to you before in my previous email, $6,500,000.00USD ( SIX MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS.) is yours for keeps. It would touch my heart to reach out to others far off, not related to me. Please accept this from me as my contribution to humanity and blessing to others. Before we proceed, I will also like to clarify that your $6,500,000.00USD GIFT is already insured to avoid misappropriation by the paying bank. Attached to this email are my INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT AND MY PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPH for clarification of who you are dealing with. Like I said before, I know the Internet is compromised and full with so many impersonators, that is why I have to send you my vital information, and it has to be kept confidential because of my worth and personality in the society.

ATTACHED IS THE POWER OF ATTORNEY AND A LETTER OF RELEASED OF ASSET for your favor which I have prepared beforehand, MAKE SURE TO FILL IN YOUR INFORMATION and send the document along with your information's to the paying bank as an application for the GIFT to be sent to your nominated bank account.

As I have informed you in my previous email, due to my present illness affecting me, my doctor has warned me against the use of electronics devices, I might not be able to get in touch with you as often as I would like to, but I will try as much as possible to write you when I can.

I want you to promise me that you will get in touch with the bank and get the money, It's better with you than in the bank. My blessing is with you! Enjoy your life. Now, get in touch with the paying bank to disburse the funds to your nominated bank account.

I have also sent a notification email in your favor to them, do try and copy me with your correspondence to the paying bank. Also, send me a scanned copy of any form of identity to enable me to get a better picture of who I'm making my GIFT to. As soon as you received a confirmation message from the paying bank, do not hesitate to keep me posted.
