Subject: PAYMENT INFORMATIONDear Your Name;
Thanks for your mail.
I just receive a correspondence with Our Financier twenty munutes ago, he will be sending the Payment to you on or before 21th August 2004 ,
He has also made me to know that he is sending all the Money needed for this Transaction in a Single payment at once,Which means that you will be recieving the money which is meant for the payment for the Plot and money for the Funeral Director ,who is coming over to your loaction for the Inspection funeral arrangement and Change of ownership.
I asked him why they have to do this, as it will delay the Travel of the Funeral Director to your location. He made me to understand that. The company do not issue out two cheques on one transaction. But only one cheque on one transaction. So what you have to do is, as soon as you recieve the money you will send the Balance money to the Funeral Director who is presently in London to upset Motuary charges and to enable him come over to your Location for the Inspection and the the change of ownership of the Plot,as soon as possible.
Hope all the paper work are presently available ?,so that it will not cause the Funeral Director more stress in your location, to get things done quickly as possible.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation, expecting your mail.

Dear Your Name;
Thanks for your mail. Since it has happen this way that the money got to you on your daughters behalf and also the need for the Funeral Director to receive his money today and to show him our seriousness in his trip to the Cemetary. The only way out now for the Funeral Director;s trip is for you to please help your Daughter deposite the cheque in her Bank and send the differencys to the Funeral Director today to enable him make his trip,or I want you to help your daughter to send the balance money to the Funeral Director,since your daughter is the only one that has right to the whole money.So you can sort it out as soon as she comes.
Please I am depending on you so that the Funeral Director can get his money as soon as possible.Due to his busy burial schedules we have to book a date with him earlier before now to make this trip.So i dont want us to disappoint him.
Thanks and God bless.

Subject: paper workDear Your Name;
Do not Fedex any of the documents to the funeral director as you earlier stated and none of them will be handled if they are not in receipt of the funds you are requested to sent out to them through western union. As i will request you go to the bank as stated by you with her Birth certificate to see what you can do about the situation and get back to me the moment you have the funds in hand. You have to understand that it will be of safer and greater advantage if Mr. Some Name comes to your location and follows up with the paper work. So the funds must reach them before anything can be done you have to understand this. Waiting to hear from you. Some Name
