Just for a change the money mentioned in this message is not embezzled, leftover money from a contract or in a forgotten account somewhere. Just to make sure the reader does not have any guilty feelings, they write it has “no criminal origin”.

Maybe someone, some day will write that the money doesn’t exist either…

At last! This time the father has been poisoned! His dastardly business associates did it.

Seriously, this fellow has failed to edit the message completely.

Notice how he calls himself Edward Asiedu in the first paragraph? In the rest, he’s Samuel Udeh.
