necessary legal documents in your name that can be used to backup any claim we may make.
We will start the first transfer with ThirtySix million[$36,000.000] upon successful transaction without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your account. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine.because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you, upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with instruction of a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in this business.
At the conclusion of this business,you will be given 35% of the total amount,60% will be for me,while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of transferring.I amreposing my confidence in you now beliving that you will never let me down.
