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 to me your private telephone
number for easy and effective communication and location. As soon as the
transfer is concluded you are entitled to 50% of the total fund. Upon
receipt of your reply, I will give you more details on this transaction
trusting to hear from you.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Jackson chris .
