Greetings from my own end. I am in clear receipt of your mail and all the contents well noted, I advice you as follows:
1.That,when I decided to move these funds, I consulted my wife. We agreed that westerners are more trust worthy in recent time especially in a deal like this. She brought your e-mail and some other e-mail addresses names from the net, When we took the e-mail addresses to our sooth seer marabou as in, our native culture and tradition, the marabou pointed out that the bearer of this e-mail to be a trust worthy person hence, my family contacted you.
2.That the Modus operandi of getting this fund is simple. The fund at the moment is at the custody of a security firm waiting for the directives from me as to the direction where they will ship it. There Affiliate Company in Africa will meet with you in holland. They will advice and help you open/establish an account where the funds will be lodged from there you can then move it to your own country.
3.That,you have to feel free as this money is no drug related money or any illicit related money. This is clean money. Let me have your coordinates(full name, full address, private telephone number and house telephone number) to enable me open contact with you.
