deal to externalize this fund.

We will provide you with the necessary logistics for this project if you are
interested in this deal, please reply to my personal mail box:
daviesmalu@zwallet.com, I will give you all the documentations including
details for a hitch free transaction. I want to assure/guarantee you that
this deal has been structured for a hitch free and successful transaction
without risk. The fund is untraceable by any persons or Government. This
transaction will be structured with legal documentation to cover the fund.

Finally, I will give you a quarter of the total sum as your commission for
your corporation. While I waits for your reply along with your telephone
number.

Yours sincerely.

Davies Maluleke
