This is a legitimate transaction. You will be paid 10% for your "Management Fees". If you are interested, please write back by mail and provide me with your confidential telephone number, fax number and email address and I will provide further details and nstructions.
Please keep this confidential; we can't afford more political problems. Finally, please note that this must be concluded within two weeks. Please write back promptly. Write me back through this personal email address (drmaratpett0l@yahoo.es) I look forward to it.
