URGENT BUSSINESS PROPOSAL

I am TIM MCCARRON The Fund Manager of Fidelity Investment
International. The World Largest Fund Management Company with over
1.2Trillion Capital Investment Fund and over 900 thousand investors all
over the world. Nevertheless,as The Fidelity Fund Manager, I handle all
our Investor's Direct Capital Funds (financial funds).


As a routine, every investor gets the percentage profit or dividend
from the total cash he or she invested into the company annually. Last
year it was announced that the profit margin was 20% after calculating
carefully I found out that the profit margin was 21.1% that is an
excess of 1.2% on each investor so I secretly extracted 1.2% Excess
Maximum Return Capital Profit (EMRCP) per annum on each of the
Investor's Marginal Capital Fund and created a separate account where
the total sum of the extraction was kept as an expert, the account has
a value of £28, 745, 000, 00.(pounds) Now, I am looking for someone who
I can trust to stand as an Investor to receive the fund as Annual
Investment Proceeds from Fidelity Marginal Capital Fund. All
confirmable and legal documents to back up the claims will be made
available to you as soon as possible.



Meanwhile, I have worked out the modalities and technicalities whereby
the funds can be claimed in any of our 6 Clearing Houses without any
hitches. Our sharing ratio will be 50-50. If you are interested,get
back to me through email so that I will provide you more information
about the transaction or you provide me with phone number to reach you
for more details.



Sincerely,
TIM MCCARRON
