Hello,
I'm Mr. Kelvin Richards, Manager of Prudential Insurance Company. I have a
sensitive and private brief from the Senior Executives of our top company in
need of your partnership to re-profile funds amounting to US$45M (Forty Five
Million United States Dollars). I will let you have the details but in
summary, the fund shall be paid to you through our operating bank where it
is presently deposited as soon as the legalization and documentation process
is concluded in your name.
This is a legitimate transaction without government interference and you
shall be compensated with 50% of the total sum, should you and your company
agree to work with us. If you are interested, please reply for further
details.
To my private email address at(MrKelvin_Richards@yahoo.com.hk)
Thanks
Mr. Kelvin Richards
