scam or hoax as I would probably think the same in your place. I also receive a lot of spam
mails all the time which to be honest with you is how I got the idea of contacting you
through this medium from.I want to assure you this is a real and genuine business.
I am sorry,I can only give you a few details of the transaction at this moment as I am not

hard for so far by being carefree and disclosing vital information's at this point that
could get me into trouble,I have to be sure you are willing to work with me before I can

need from you is to help me get the funds over to you safely, I have everything all worked
