From: Deacon Williams of Trustee consultants London

Email address used: trustee_consultant@yahoo.co.uk

First Enquiry details:
My Name is Deacon Williams of Trustee consultants London.I want to make a reservation for a group of christian delegates coming for vacation in your city begining from the August 10th.The group consists of (4) persons.Please i will like you to get back to me with availability and the desired dates that are available.

2nd Responce:
Good day,
Thanks for your reply and assistance so far .I am glad to tell you thatwe have concluded payment with the delegates.
However, a Certified Bank Cheque of 5,500EURO was earlier made out by theChristian organization, for a hotel whose services were not up to thestandard of what your hotel is offering to us now. Which was meant forthe accommodation, provision for travelling and other necessary arrangement.I have now been instructed to send you the cheque, which will cover thecost of accommodation and all other necessary travelling arrangement for the delegates.
Moreover, we also made an arrangement with a pre paid car hiring firm whowill supply the delegates with cars they will use during their stay.
So you are required to deduct the cost of your services 2320EURO andsend the balance of 3180EURO via western union money transfer, to thelogistics agent whose information will be forwarded to you as soon aspossible.So confirm this and provide me with your
(1) YOUR FULL NAME
(2) ADDRESS
(3)PHONE NUMBER, for payment to be delivered to you via courier.
Please remember that the integrity of our agency is involved, so thisbusiness requires prompt response. I also hope the stay of the delegateswill be made comfortable.Kind Regards,
FYI:PLEASE THE ATTENTION OF THE MANAGER/OWNER SHOULD BE DRAWN TO THIS MAIL.
