I want you to note that this business will benefit
both of us and that it is 100% risk free. However,
you must confirm your ability tohandle this because it
involves a large

the a political uprising that rocked my country few years
ago.
Now the crisis has ended , I need a trustworthy person like
you to proceed
to the place of the security company in order to clear the
fund and
afterwards,i will come to your country for us to
start a joint business venture as i do not have the
intention of bringing
the funds back.
I want The fund to be use for investment with you as
partner.
Note that I will send to you the relevant documents
that will enable you take possession of the fund for onward
investmentfor
our mutual benefit. All I needfrom you is as follows:

as possible
