before,My name is Mr Song Lile I work with the Hang Seng Bank.There is
the sum of $19,500,000.00 in my bank"Hang Seng Bank", Hong kong.

and banking requirements.All I need from you is your willingness,
trust and commitment. I want you to know that I have had everything
planned out so that we shall come out successful.
I will notify you on the full transaction on receipt of your response
if interested,and I shall send you the details and necessary procedures
with which to make the transfer.

this issue.Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank
