Good Day,
Its my pleasure to contact you over this transaction and I hope for your
assistance on this matter.
I discovered a dormant account in my office as a group director with a bank
here in London; presently the account is in an escrow account It will be of
my
interest to transfer this money worth half a Million Pounds in an account
offshore. If you can assist me in getting this money transferred out of
London
then invest with it and also establish partnership.
Contact me if you think you can handle such amount and kindly remember that
this is very confidential.
I wait to hear from you.
Regards
Jamaal Church
