I have a very sensitive and confidential brief from him to ask for your
partnership in re-profiling funds in a private bank investment portfolio
in Europe.
I will give the details, but in summary, the funds are coming via Bank
Menatep in Russia. This is a legitimate transaction. You will be paid 5%
of the portfolio investment value as your "management fees". If you are
interested, please write back to me via my private
E-mail:willpeters@satellite-email.com and provide me with your
confidential telephone number, fax number and email address and I will
provide further details and if you are satisfied I can proceed with the
instructions.
Please we can not afford any political problems because of recent events
in Russia. So I will advice you keep this to your self.
Finally, please note that this must be concluded within reasonable time
frame therefore your prompt reply is essential.Write me back. I look
forward to it.
Best Regards
MR.PETERS WILLIAMS.
