I am Barr.Hans Dragsnes,a British Citizen and a praticing Lawyer for over 3
decades now. I am a muslim,married with four children.I am a personal lawyer
to a very Prominent and renown personality in Asia and the world at large
who is presently in detention.
I am contacting you for your hand of partnership in a business worth
$58million (fifty eight million US dollars).I got your contact through a
personal search on the internet. Though we have not met before,i am
confident that we would be able to establish the necessary trust needed for
the execution of this project.All that I require from you is your total
cooperation. I decided to with hold some informations in this mail for
security reasons but I shall furnish you is with the full details relevant
to this transaction as soon as we have been able to establish some trust.
A while ago,my client got me acquainted with his plans to establish an ultra
modern movie Production facilitywith state of the art technology for movie
Production.This he intended to do when he retires from public service.For
this purpose he set aside the sum of $58 million (fifty eight million US
dollars) out of the huge fortune he made from the movie industry while he
was still a movie producer and a movie actor in his country.He seperated
this funds and deposited them with two different security firms located in
two different locations in the world.On one of my visits to my client in
prison recently,my client confided in me to assist his family to withdraw
these funds and secure a secret way to relocate his family from his country
to a safe place where they can be free from political oppression and death
threats.
The political oppression on his family has grown so bad now that they now
live in fear and misery.All their known monetary and landed assets have been
confiscated and all their local as well as international bank account frozen
by the government.All these atrocities are being propagated by my client's
enemies in government who are jealous of his socio/political success.His
family have been placed under a travelling embargo which prevents them from
travellling out of their country.I was as well placed under a travelling
embargo but I had to secure a way to London where I am at this moment.I did
this to enable me have a conducive atmosphere to execute our plans
effectively and smoothly. As soon as we have been able to retrieve the funds
I shall go back to move my client's family to a safe country where they can
settle down in peace and as well invest the funds in a very viable business
venture.If you can guarantee our safety then we can consider your country
for this purpose.
We have the intention of retrieving one of the monies to enable us finalise
our plans.This is why i contacted you.I want you to be our partner who will
assist in the retrieval of the funds and securing it in a foreign account.I

whole process.
