Subject: Greetings
ATTN,
FUND RELOCATION FOR INVESTMENT
I humbly seek your assistance in a business transaction that requires your
ability to invest on our behalf for a minimum period of 5years, without the
inference of a third party.
The fund emanated from individual wealth, Political contribution, and
contract kick - back by party members towards their next parliamentary
election. With the present situation , I urge to relocate the funds to you
for safe keeping/Investment, hence my decision to contact you.
Details would be disclosed and the possibility to meet with you, on your
ability to handle this transaction legally. The fund for the investment is
valued at $150 Million.
Thanks and look forward to your response.
Regards,
Aggrey Lamb.
