Hi, I am just dropping by on this kinkos store to email you and let you know that I have just sent the payment via Western Union in your name as I do not have your account details correct. I also want you to have the payment information below: Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN): 364-120-7690 Amount Sent: $105,000 USD Text Question: Favourite Colour? Answer:Green You can go to any Western Union location right now and pick up the cash quick. I hope that you have a Western Union card?You will need this to send or claim amount above $6,000 USD from any Western Union agent location. My company will be sending my team to Chile this week. I am already on my way to join my team in completing the unfinished bridge construction project in Chile. We may leave town tomorrow and I couldn't go without dropping the payment information with you. We may spend 2 to 3 months there before the job would be completely finished. Remember that if you do not claim the money before 9 days, they will call back the money to my card. And if you do not have the Western Union Promo/Gold Card,you cannot pick up the cash. I may not be around to reply any of your emails now, but I will talk to you as soon as I return. If you do not have a Western Union card, you may contact the western union agent details below so that they will provide a Western Union card for you immediately and also send you a copy of the voucher of the payment that I made, via email. Contact the office below for your Western Union card: Contact Person: melvin clifford Email:westernunion.agent00@gmail.com Send the below details to him Your Full Name: MTCN number: (as above) Direct Telephone Contact: Address: (including state and zip code) As soon as the office gets the above information, they will use the credentials to create your Western Union card right away without any delay.
