Christian, and I want you to trust me and help me out in this my conditoion.
I believe you are a highly respected personality,

Before my husband was killed, he moved out the sum of $21.5 million through
a diplomatic means, and deposited it with a Security Company Abroad.
All that is needed is for me to instruct the company to transfer the
funds to your account, I will renumerate you with 20% at the end, but most of all is that I solicit
your trust in this transaction. I have been confined only to our country home and all my calls are monitored,
