Greetings to you.
Iam the Banco Santander Attachee to the Spanish Security and Deposit Bureau in Spain and Iam contacting you to see if we can engage in this transaction that I have broken down below.
We have a Us dollar checking account with Banco Santander that is owned by the Monaco Club of the Principalities of Monaco.
This Monaco Club is an association of Wealthy Men and Women.
They use this their checking account to receive huge sums of money coming from their personal deals in Oil, Gold, Diamond and all other kinds of transaction.
When this money comes into the checking account, it is immediately re-transfered to their various account in Monaco and other parts of the Globe.
During this transfer transaction, we normally charge them for capital transfer taxes, bank taxes, wealth accumulation taxes and they pay these taxes and other fees in excess.
They pay in excess because they don’t go through the tax lawyers and tax authorities as they don’t want their money to be decleared public.
We have some millions of usdollars which is excess payments of taxes and other fees by the Monaco Club.
The overseer of the Monaco Club`s account who is Engr Ell Singh liased with me and I signed as undertaker to enable the deposit of 24.8million usdollars into the security deposit bureau of spain.
This 24.8million usd is the total of the excess paid taxes , fees and some huge funds which came into the account but he did not authorise the transfer.
The Monaco club account overseer has died not long ago.
Before his death, we were already in the process of transfering the cash out from the deposit bureau.
The deposit bureau has informed me to get a relative of the deceased to whom the cash is going to be released.

I simply want to engage someone, familiarise and proceed with the deal like every other normal person in a normal transaction.
I see you to appear capable and I decided to seek your consent.
Thanks and get back to me as soon as you can
Regards
David Santana
