Subject: Investment proposal
Hello friend,
I plead your understanding to assist me on my Investment proposal. Actually I would have asked that we meet physically to enable us know ourselves, have a
fore knowledge of the nature of the investment, discuss and acquaint ourselves with the responsibilities and functions of both parties and appropriate shares accordingly.
However, because of my position in my office which restricts me from foreign trip for now, I have choosen this approach to contact you and to verify if you can
assist me for the investment of the sum of Fifteen Million United States Dollars in your country or elsewhere where the incident of Tax is very low.
Note that this fund shall be remitted into an account you will provide after which I will resign from my office to join you for the investment of the same. I am actually interested in property but shall settle for any business of your choice provided it is
lucrative and profit oriented.
If you will be willing to assist me, the following are required to commence the documentation on the fund in your name as the beneficiary before it is transferred;
Your full names, address, direct telephone number the bank details into which you want the fund remitted.
After all taxes and other miscellaneous expenses (if any) has been deducted from the fund, you or the owner of the account will be handsomely compensated for the
account so used to claim this fund.
Kindly make this proposal your priority.
