I advise you to scan the id document attach it before sending.

You need not to worry yourself about European government taxes for as soon
as the fund gets to your account every expenses including taxes, the total
sum will take care of them.
As soon as the fund is right in your account the first thing we will do is
to pay whatever taxes and whatever expenses incurred before investment.
I advise you to relax and feel at home for I am a man of action. As long as
you have given me your co-operation and your understanding and if you can
also follow my instruction everything will be okay.
For your information the project needs confidentiality even though it is
legal. This is to avoid jeopardizing the progress and success of the
project.
I will call you any time from today for more details.
Continue to keep well until we meet.
