Hello,

I am Marco Antonio Chalé Góngora the manager of Sosoliso Airlines in
S.Africa, One of out Aero-planes crashed on the 10th december, While the
fire service and the nigeria investigation team where on patrol for
investigations they discovered the sum of Ten million dollars in a brifcase,
They quoated that the brifcase of money fell out of the plane with ashes of
flames on it, It was discovered in the forest with pieces of cracked plane
parts.
Now the director of the nigeria investigation team has directly reported the
case to my office, They wanted to handle the brifcase to the government but
due to the cases of corruption in our country i decided to find a way of
handling it my self, The nigeria investigation team have asked me to look
for someone who would unestly receive the money into his country before the
case gets investigated and the government finds out about the money and the
person must also be ready to pay the sum of ten thousand united states
dollars for the special DHL transport delivery to his door step, So that is
the reason why i contacted you, I want you to help us receive these money
into your country it would be delivered to you through the safe and special
DHL tranport service, If these is acceptable you would be given thirty
pecent of the money while you would be given an account where you would
transfer the remaining seventy percent into or i personally travel to your
country to receive the seventy percent.
If the above terms and conditions is acceptable to you get back to me these
needs to be done within 4-5days.
Regard's
Marco Antonio Chalé Góngora
