Dear Mr Buan

As I have informed you and mr. Parker, I had to borrow the money for me to be able to pay for the documents. Now it will be impossible for me to raise that money. I can only ask mr. Parker to pay for me and refund him on my first payment. Please advise.

Best regards

Dear Mr. Buan
I'm sorry but there's no chance I'm going to get the money, at this moment no one beleives in what I say about this opportunity. After I have raised such amount of money I thought maybe you guys will see how serious and true I am. So if I fail to come up with the money what will happen to the amount that I have already paid? Pease advise, hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards

Dear sir,
The reason Idid not send the money that was needed to finish the documentation is because I do not have, so for the taxi you are mentioning you will have to take from that one.
