Hello There,
How are you doing today? I hope well? However I wish to use this
medium to inform you that I have a relatively large sum of Funds for
investment; and
I would like you to guide me through the most viable investment
opportunities in your country. Alternatively, I can invest in your
line of business/project
if you are interested and if your line of business is viable and
lucrativewith high cash flow. I inherited these funds from my late
father. the funds is presently with a security company in Europe, But
according
to my late
fathers will he wanted the funds to be well managed or invested in
a lucrative and reputable business project to ensure the management of the
funds, It is for this reason that I have made contact with you to know if
you are willing to secure the funds for investment on my family's behalf
in your business project, The total funds amounts to [USD$30.5M], what we
need is a partner who will work with my family in securing the funds for
us. Please
reach me on E-mail: info_marvin@yahoo.com
Thanks & Best Regards
Marvin Brown.
