However, I seeked with the problem of securing a trust worthy foreign personality to help me transfer this money pending my arrival to meet with you. Furthermore, I only want this to be done this way because your country is politically stable for any profitable investment, and I also want to add here that if accepted by you, you will serve as the appointed beneficiary of the money.I feel confidence therefore, to introduce this offer to you.
For your participation and all your assistance regarding to this transfer, I have decided to give you 15% of the total money on behalf of my family. Therefore, you are requested to furnish me back immediately you receive this request to transfer this money from where it is now to your country of residence account or any account of your interest.
On commencement of this transaction. I want to let you understand that my future depends solely on this money. So please keep this business to yourself only to avoid raise eye brow of any third party.
I am eagerly expecting your urgent response.
