Dear Friend,
Please accept my apology for contacting you this way which
was due to the urgency of my request I am rather in a very
precarious situation that warrants my talking very little
till I confirm our buisness relationship.
If it is money please that would be no problem, I just need
to know you have the capacity to handle large funds and you
can be trusted.
Presently I am in the tight clutches of my native government
who has amongst other things clamped my company and my
freedom all in abid to finance its reform programmes.
The internet for now is my only uncensored link to the
outside world and I would appreciate it if you take me very
seriously.You would be well renumerated for your
effort and assistance.
Hoping to hear soonest from you.
Regards,
Mark Foday
