Subject: Greetings To You.........
Hello There,
How are you doing today? I hope well? However I wish to use this medium to
inform you that I have a relatively large sum of Funds for investment; and I
would like you to guide me through the most viable investment opportunities
in your country. Alternatively, I can invest in your line of
business/project if you are interested and if your line of business is
viable and lucrative with high cash flow. I inherited these funds from my
late father. the funds is presently with a security company in Europe, But
according to my late fathers will he wanted the funds to be well managed or
invested in a lucrative and reputable business project to ensure the
management of the funds, It is for this reason that I have made contact with
you to know if you are willing to secure the funds for investment on my
family's behalf in your business project, The total funds amounts to
[USD$30.5M], what we need is a partner who will work with my family in
securing the funds .Please reach me on E-mail: marvinb4@zipmail.com.br
Thanks & Best Regards
Marvin Brown.
