will use 10% to offset all charges that may arise in the cost of this transaction, 70% will be for investment into any lucreative business with high profit margin and good turnover rate under your management and supervision. Therefore,if you are interest
ed and capable of handling a business of this magnitude, do not hesitate to acknowledge my mail urgently as I have all the logistics to commence the treansfer on provision of the receiving bank/account expected from you.
I will use my official position in the bank to ensure that due approvals are granted for the remittance to your account. This business is risk free and can be concluded within 14 bank working days from the date of your approval to the date of remittance,
but for my security and my job position this must be kept highly confidential. All I need from you is your address/telephone/fax/mobile lines banking particulars for easier communication. I expect to hear from you soon.

I therefore you are required to maintain absolutely
