Hello,

It will interest me to start by introducing my good self to you. I am Mrs Sukura Zarani, wife to Late Navy Captain Zarghami Zarani who died during the USA war against Iraq.Before then, we depositedUS$15,Million in a neighbouring country's security company, which i have managed to lift to their branch in INDIA right now i am presently receiving treatment in a hospital.

My major aim of contacting you starts with the reason that myself and my two sons here in Thailand cannot manage this fund well on our own and i intend to go into joint/patnership business with you, if all things will work out fine.

This can be well discussed through email and my present state of health will not allow me to travell out, so i will appreciate if you will come down here to Thailand, to enable us have a detailed discussion on how best we can go into Business partnership.
In due course I am ready to share this money with you for 50/50,You can reply me via e-mail .I am now looking forward to your kindest response.

Thanks,
Mrs Sukura Zarani.
