Example #2
Hello,
Good evening my heart-chosen therapist, i hope you enjoyed your weekend as well as your day? I must say that I love therapist because of the various issues of health they handle time to time. It seems a bit similar to our ministry (A Life-changing and Lifesaving Ministry). You want to know?. Well, to start with, I was referred by www.ncbtmb.org's online referral service. I'm Rev.Paul Sussman, A Member/Acting Donor Relations Associate of "The International Christian Embassy, Jerusalem" It's a Non-profit organization dedicated to promoting, understanding and cooperation between Jews and Christians. I'm contacting you not for other reason but to seek for your service; I'll be coming over to the State for an assignment in your City. At the course of this, I would be glad if you would render me a Massage during the period of my stay... Is that anything good to you? I work and travel too much due to the nature of my job, but at the same time health should be taking good care of...I use to experience this unusual joint pains each day after work, I consumed much medicine and treatment but seems not effective as expected. At the cause of this my Doctor recommended that I go for massage since last year but I had a tight schedule all through, but this time I want to use this opportunity because Health Is Wealth. Don't you think so too? hahahaha
Kindly get back to me ASAP, so that I can include it in my arrangement at the course of the assignment. Until I hear from you God Bless you.
Rev.Paul Sussman.
