Dear Friend,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this
transaction which is of mutual benefit; this is by
virtue of its nature of being utterly confidential.
I am sure and have confidence in your ability, and
reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great
magnitude.
I am Euan Preston, a legal practitioner with offices
in Moscow and London. My clients include some high
profile and controversial world citizens which include
the just widowed wife of the former Yugoslav president
Slobadan Milosevic, Mirjana.
As soon as the death of her husband was made known to
her ont Saturday, 11th March 2006, she immediately
notified me of some funds she had put away in a
private bank in the United Kingdom which she wanted
transferred to the accounts of someone who has no
known ties or links whatsoever with the Milosevic
family, hence the reason for my contacting you through
this medium and at this point in time.
The funds are to remain with this individual (you) on
trust for a minimum of 12 months after which tensions
would have died down, before arrangements would be
made for investment partnership between the custodian
of the funds (you) and the family.
The funds in question is in excess of £10,000,000 (Ten
Million British Pounds) and they are willing to give
the will-be custodian of this funds 10% as
retainer/commission for the safe-keeping of this funds
for the next 12 months, after which, there would be
further negotiation on terms and conditions for the
second phase of the project which would be the
investment of these funds.
Please note that this transaction is 100% safe, and
risk free, and the whole process will take between 7
to 10 working days from the date of receipt an
_expression of interest to this proposal by e-mail
(euanpreston06@sify.comt)
The following information should also be
included in your response:
a.Full name as it is in your passport/drivers license
b.Your complete address, which should most properly be
your place of work
c.Direct Telephone number, viz: office, home, cell to
ensure communication between us is total when the
entire process commences
Detailed information of this pending business
transaction, and the codes to the funds domiciled in
the private bank will be sent to you as soon as I hear
from you.
Yours in Service,
Euan Preston.
