Subject: Dear Partner


Dear Partner,
In my First Email Proposal to you, I state that the said funds came out as a result of the following:
I handle all our Investor's Direct Capital Funds and secretly extract 1.2% Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit (EMRCP) per annum on each of the Investor's Magellan Capital Funds. As an expert, I have made over 16.8M GBP from the Investor's EMRCP and hereby looking for someone to trust who will stand as an Investor to receive the funds as Annual Investment Proceeds from Fidelity Magellan Capital Funds. All confirmable documents to back up the claims will be made available to you on your acceptance.
EXPLANATION:
I have more than 158 Corporate Investors attached to my PORTFOLIO whose Capital Investment Funds are been managed and administered by me alone. This Capital Investment Funds has a value of 244 Billion GBP FIXED. The 244 Billion GBP is been used for trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending with Profit Returns. Every Year, each Corporate Investor is expected to receive 20% interest from his total Investment Capital Funds which is paid to the Investor annually as their Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit (EMRCP)
However, I made average of 21.2% from the Investor's Investment Capital Funds annually which have exceeded our targeted 20% of Investment Total Investment Capital Funds. On this note, the extra 1.2% from the 21.2% is been retained by me as my personal profits for managing the Capital Investment. In the other hands, I cannot claim this funds without presenting someone to stand as an Investor otherwise our Establishment will convert the funds into the Company's Treasury.
This is why I come to you for the deal to take place. This transaction is directly under my table and all documents could be arranged to back up the claims and as long as we do this deal in a way I planned, we will not experience any difficulties during the process of the transaction and beside the transaction will have no trace because it is nobody’s funds. These funds are made out of my professional initiative. In UK, there are rules and laws governing the transfer of funds especially when it exceed 10,000 USD.This laws and rules are seriously monitored and checked by Government Agencies that are in-charge of the funds transferring processes.
In order to have a perfect transaction, we must comply and work in accordance with the laws and rules of the Government and that of the Bank. This rules and laws are as follows:
1. To claim this funds (16.8M GBP) you will stand as our Treasury Bill Investor.
2. An Income Tax Clearance from the Inland Revenue Service will be secured stating that the Investor has been cleared for tax clearance.
3. The Investor will secure an International Clearance Invoice (I.C.I) from the United Kingdom Monetary Regulations Commission. These documents will be certified and notarized from the Court of England and Wales which copies will be made available to your bank and Government before the funds arrive your bank account. By doing this, no Government Authority will ask for source and origin of the transferred funds or conduct investigation as per the source of the funds. The documents are world recognized and accepted and no Bank in UK will transfer such funds without the procurement of the I.C.I.
4. The Investor will sign what is called the Investor’s Funds Release Order authorizing the Bank to have the funds transferred upon compliance of the above stated. But this can also be signed on behalf of the Investor by an Attorney attached to our Bank on Private Arrangement.
In addition to all above stated, I here now advise that an Attorney be hired to represent you, Finally I guarantee you that this business works when we comply with the Government and Bank rules as described above and this is hitch free without any risk attached. You will be happy to do business with me at the end of this deal. Remember, you have 50% of this funds and my own share of 50% will be kept and handled by you as I am not permitted to own or keep such funds for some reasons. Please email me to confirm that you are satisfied with all the above stated and are ready to proceed.
