numbered fixed deposit for 6(six) calendar months, with

of this account valued at $21Million US dollars can be

to back up any claim we may make. All I require is

enable us see this transaction through.I guarantee you
that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. I am
