Hello.
In my section of work I have a legitimate deal that worth lots of funds but needed an overseas person to claim it with my plans. Can you promise safety of my share of the funds, before given you the details of the deal as we have not met each other before?
Faithfully,
Mr. George Djan-Baffour.
