impeccable profile to me. Hence I have decided to seek your cooperation,due
to the sensitivity of this transaction and my commitment as a civil

account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved To me as
well that his company does not know anything about his account and the amount
involved is (US$ 12.7)TwelveMillion seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.

approved to a local Bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign
account because the money is in US Dollars and the former owner of the
account is DR. H. PAUL JACOBI is a foreigner too.
