2000 IN A PLANE CRASH.SINCE WE HEARD OF HIS DEATH,WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING

AND MIND MY SHARE. IT IS FROM THE 60 % I INTEND TO IMPORT AGRICULTURAL
MACHINERIES INTO MY COUNTRY AS A WAY OF RECYCLING THE FUND.
TO COMMENCE THIS TRANSACTION,I REQUIRE YOU TO IMMEDIATELY INDICATE YOUR
INTEREST BY A RETURN E-MAIL AND ENCLOSE YOUR PRIVATE CONTACT TELEPHONE
NUMBER, FAX NUMBER FULL NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOUR DESIGNATED BANK COORDINATES
TO ENABLE ME FILE LETTER OF CLAIM TO THE APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENTS FOR NECESSARY
