Du Bureau de Mr. JEAN-PIERRE HOUSSA
(Consultant des Ressources financières)
14 rue de calavi Rép du BENIN


J’ai une cliente (une veuve) elle a 12.5 millions dollars américain dans une compagnie de sécurité et de gardiennage des biens. Elle souhaite investir dans une économie stable en Europe, mais contenue du system politique financière de notre nouveau gouvernement au BENIN, elle ne peut fait sortir ces fonds hors du pays sans la collaboration d’un partenaire à l’extérieur (hors du BENIN) .Pour ce fait, elle recherche un vrai partenaire étranger qui pourra l’aider à retirer ces fonds, les transférer et l’assister pour l’investissement en Europe.

Son intérêt est dans des sociétés de potentielles pour la croissance rapide en longs termes. Si les bi lois de votre pays permettent l'investissement étranger.
Vous pouvez entrer en contact avec moi pour plus de détails.

NB : Nous avons le certificat de dépôt des fonds qui atteste la véracité de l’affaire.

Cordialement

Mr Jean-pierre Houssa
