guide lines on how you can transact with the bank for the approval of the
funds to your A/C. As soon as everything as been put in place for the transfer
I will apply for an annual leave to obtain a visa to travel to your country
for my share of the funds and the sharing of the funds is 65% for me , 30%
for you and the remaining 5% will be for expenses incurred during the transaction.

As soon as the transaction is over I will secretly destroy all document that
will lead to the trace of this transfer and go Back to My Country Because
i have work all my Life in Spain As soon as I hear from you on the above
phone line or email I will advise you on how to go about the transactionas
