Subject: RE: Our Last Mail Exchange.

Attention,

I am Mr. Edgar Kema Clark, an international businessman based in the UK .
I front and work for high network individuals in governments in various Arab
and African countries and handles. Their various finances and investment
needs. There is substantially accrued fund in excess of $50 Million U.S Dollars
lying idle in an escrow account being held on trust in a financial institution
in Europe.

The money is from earnings from crude oil bunkering activities and deals
involving these above mentioned high network persons. Due to the recent political
conflicts in various countries of Middle-East countries, the owners wish
to re-direct their investments to high yield projects and investment.
Consequently, I would like to enquire if there is any viable project that
you would like these investors to finance or participate in your company
or country. If there is, please let me know so that we can discuss further
on the necessary modalities needed to proceed immediately.

In the meantime, you can contact me through this e-mail ( kemaclark2@yahoo.com)
for further information.

Best regards.

Edgar K. Bello
