Like I said before, due to this issue on my hands now, it became necessary
for
me to seek your assistance, I appreciate the fact that you are ready to

me in executing this project, and also to help me in investing my money in
your

days.
READ THE FOLLOWING AND GET BACK TO ME:
Firstly, i will like to know the type of occupation that you do, i will
like
to know how old you are. You should note that this project is highly capital
intensive. This is why I have to be very careful. I need your total devotion
and trust to see this through. I know we have not met
before, but I am very confident that we will be able to establish the
necessary
trust that we need to execute this project.
I am now in contact with a foreign online bank. I now intend that you open
an
account in your name in this foreign bank. The money would be transferred to
your account which you will open in the bank for both of us, this is the
best
way, I have found; it will protect us from my bank.
I want us to enjoy this money in peace when concluded. So you should listen
to
my instructions and follow them religiously.
Also you have to know that I cannot transfer this money in my name, as my
bank
will be aware that it is from me. This is where I need you.
As result of this, you will have to open an account in the corresponding
bank.
I will obtain a certificate of deposit from this my bank; it will be issued
in
your name. This will make you the bonafide owner of the funds. After this,
the
money will be banked online for both of us. We can then instruct the bank to
transfer our various shares into our respective home bank accounts.
I will also perfect the documentations with the assistance of my attorney to
give the transaction the legal right.
Before I commence, I will need you to send me a copy of any form your
identification (Driver's license or International passport) and your current
address and also your private phone and fax number. I want to be sure that I
am
transacting with the correct person. As soon as I get these from you, I will
commence the paper work with my attorney.
I hope you will understand why I need all these. The money in question is
big
and I want to ensure that I know you well before I proceed to give you all
the
details to commence the project. I will also send you my international
passport
upon receipt of your identification.
I will send the name and contact details of the bank to you so that you can
commence communication with them.
Ensure that you keep this project confidential, do not discuss it with
anybody,
because of the confidential nature of this transaction and my work.
Please reply soonest.
Regards,
