approved the Fund to his local account, he threaten to exposed my boss by
cheap blackmailing, although our legal team has been taken up the case.

Hello Stephanie,

This email is to acknowledge the receipt of your last email and also to let
you know that it was very confusing. You stated in your email that you have
wired the funds. What funds did you wire? What transaction did you wire
funds for and where did you wire the funds to?

I have never requested for any payment what so ever from you so I see no
reason why you will wire funds to anyone without my instruction. I request
that you tell me about the wired funds you mentioned in your email and I
mean all the details about the wired funds and the transaction.

I will have to repeat that you will not be sending me any funds so you have
to be careful who you are dealing with so that you won’t fall into the
wrong hands.

And finally l am send you the contact details of our financial partner
again.
