I need a reliable someone with a foreign account to be able to receive this
money, even an empty account can serve to claim this money.
Should you be willing to complete this transaction, send tome your private
telephone number for easy and effective communication and location. As soon
as the transfer is concluded you are entitled to 25% of the total fund. Upon
receipt of your reply, I will give you more details on this transaction
trusting to hear from you.
