Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. Marina Litvinenko, wife of Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian security officer who died in a London hospital after apparently being poisoned with the highly-toxic metal thallium by Mr. Lugovoi, a Russian Government Paid agent.
This is my husband's life in a video for your full understanding.

Please I want you to assist me to remove USD$9.5M given to my husband before his death by Mr. Berezovsky, A Russian Billionaire Exiled in UK for exposing an alleged plot to assassinate him by the Russian Authority and to investigate the death of Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian Journalist believed to have equally been poisoned by the Kremlin for writing a book: The Putin's Russia: Life in a Failing Democracy depicted Russia as a country where human rights are routinely trampled.
The Funds are deposited with a financial firm in Europe and I will want to relocate these funds for investment in your region and with your assistance and advice.
As soon as I receive your response, I will furnish you with more details on this issue that is stressing me so badly. I do not mind drawing a business agreement with you.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Marina Litvinenko.
