can
easily be withdrawn or paid to a recommended beneficiary. The funds
will be released to you by the Security Company,based on my
recommendations, on that note, you will be presented as my partner who
will be
fronting for me and my family in any subsequent ventures. Myself and my

mother have decided to give 20% to you if you are able to help us claim

this
consignment.We have also decided to give you any money spent on phone
calls or travelling expenses in the course of this transaction at the
end of the transaction. Please, I need your entire support and
co-operation for the success of this business ventures, your utmost
confidentiality and secrecy is highly required, due to my family's
present
predicament. I sincerely will appreciate your acknowledgment as soon as
