this account valued at US$3.5 Million can be paid to you and then you
and I can share the money. 60% for me and 40% goes for you as the
beneficiary. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to
backup any claim we may make.

All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
thro! ugh. I guarantee! that this will be executed under a
