Please kindly accept my apologies for intruding on your privacy and using a medium like this to reach out to you.It is due to the urgency of the issue at stake that is why i have decided to reach out to you for your assistance.
May i introduce myself my name is Mrs Marian Alessandro Bassi the wife of Late Alessandro Bassi who until his death was an employee of Parmalat the Italian Diary giant that went bankrupt december last year.My husband was the Personal Assistant to the key financial figures in the company Namely Fausto Tonna and Luciano Del Soldato.Before his death he told me about a sum of money that was entrusted to him by one of the company former Chief Financial Officers whom he worked closely with befote the company bankruptcy problems emerged last december.Please you can check this web link for further details regarding the death of my husband. http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=2445917
The money in question amounted to US$35M (Thrirty Five Million United States Dollars) which was kept in some secret offshore bank accounts under his name.When Parmalat started experiencing financial problems and investigators where closing in he moved the money
secretly through a third party arrangement from the offshore account to avoid detection to Spain where it was deposited with a security company in cash container in two trunk boxes.The security company does not know that the boxes contains cash as it was
deposited as family valuables.Please note that am the only one that knows about the existence of this money right now.
Please what is needed now is somebody who can travel abroad at a very short notice and stand as a next of kin to my husband and claim the boxes from the security company this is what has been delaying the claiming of the boxes since from the security company neither me nor any other member of the family can do this. Since the Parmalat sacndal broke out all the key
figures mostly senior personels and thier family have been under close security watch and a travel ban has placed on us until investigation has been concluded.Our Telephone is tapped twenty tour hours everyday so that all calls can be monitored by the security
agents.
