While we shall collectively donate the remaining balances of 10% to Tsunami Relief Organizations.
It is my intention to achieve this transfer in a legitimate way, all I required is your honest co-operation, and confidentiality and trust to enable us see this transaction through. This is a very legal business that I am very sure of its success and is absolutely risk free.
