Now that I am not able to travel back to my country and also not able to
leave this country due to my my stutus here until this present Government is
out of power, I want to trust and invest this money in you care and
management for our mutual future benefits.
My family and I have agreed to compensate you with a 25% share of the total
sum for your participation and the balance we shall invest into your field
of specialization for a win-win venture.
All I ask of you now is to specify concretely that you will be able to
handle this fund if transferred to your account and also be able to help us
invest it and include your account information plus your private telephone
number. We shall sign draft copy of agreement that will be binding us
through this transaction.
