Subject: Partnership


Good day to you.

I am NESLY SENATE, a staff of the United Nations (UN), I know that this
mail will be of great surprise to you. I got your e-mail address from the Internet
as I was soliciting for a partner who will work with us. Please, do not
see this mail as one of those stories from some Africans of which I have
received such too. In recent time, there have been conflicts in many parts
of the world especially in the Middle East , which has been of top concern
to the United Nations.

I happen to be one of the official assigned to Iraq and I also played a
great part in seeing that Afghanistan is been rebuilt and those
casualties, especially children are well taken care of. During this
period, my partners and I were able to secure some amount of money
amounting to Thirty Million United State Dollars ($30M), which was moved
to Europe . Moving this fund was easy because of the connections my
partners had. Now that things have settled, we want to move the money out
of the deposit company where it is deposited. We are contacting you to
work with us because we are civil servants and cannot do it alone. The
presence and participation of a neutral person is needed to achieve this
transaction hence my contacting you. Note that all the relevant documents
will be in place for this transaction to be hitch free.

For your participation, you will be getting 20% of the total sum. This
transaction will take not more than fourteen (14) banking/working days to
be finalized from the day of commencement. Treat with to secrecy, as we
will not want a blackmail or media scandal. You are the only person I
contacted for this transaction and will hope to get your reply ASAP for
further correspondence via my private email (caliso@terra.com.mx)

Yours faithfully,
Nesly Senate
