partnership to re-profile funds totally Twenty Four Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars. ($24,500,000.00) .
I will give the details of how we intend to proceed,this is a legitimate
transaction. You will be paid 15% for your "management fees",if I am able to
reach terms with you.
If you are interested, please write me back by email and provide me
with your telephone/cell/fax numbers and I will provide
further details.
Please keep this close to your chest as much as possible; because we are
still in acting service.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation. I am available to
entertain any questions concerning the clarity of this transaction.
