Dear Sir/Madam,

I write to you based on a request by an investor and his need for
Investment/funding in your country. My name is VIN GODWIN, a
financialconsultant with PLATINUM ENTREPRENEURAL EXPANSSION COMMISSION
which is a reputable financial services firm. My company most times
representsthe interests of very wealthy investors. Due to the
sensitivity of the position they hold in their society and the unstable
investment environment of their country, they evacuate majority of
their funds into morestable economies and developed nations where they
can get good yield fortheir money.

I was recently approached by a Reserved Client, whom I had personally
worked with a few years ago with a proposal. What he request is an
individual such as yourself, who will be willing to receive money on
his behalf abroad,and put it to good use for a period not exceeding 6
years
for a start.

The client has offered these terms: 1. 10% commission paid to me and my
foreign partner of the total funds successfully evacuated. The funds in
question are over 13.2Million US Dollars.
2. The funds will be used by the foreign partner for six years as a
Loan without any interest. That is, you do not pay any interest on the
money but you give the client 50% of all profits after tax that accrued
from the use of the funds.

If these terms are agreeable to you, kindly let me know and I will
Provide you with all necessary information and procedures involved.

All reply should be sent to this Email:peecincbelfast2005@yahoo.co.uk for
Urgent
Attendance.
