I propose that 35% of the net sum will accrue to meat the conclusion of this deal in so far as I do notincur further expenses.
Therefore, to facilitate the immediate reprofiling ofthis fund, you need, first to contact me via thisemail signifying your interest and as soon as I obtainyour confidence, I will immediately appraise you withthe complete details as well as fax you the documents,with which you are to proceed and i shall direct onhow to put up an application to the bank.
HOWEVER, you will have to accent to an expressagreement which I will forward to you in order to bindus in this transaction. Upon the reciept of your reply,I will send you E-mail the next step to take. I will not fail tobring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-freeand that you should not entertain any fears as therequired arrangements have been made for thecompletion of this transfer.
