This is why I am making this urgent cont<EM>act</EM> with you and your
associates, some prominent individuals in Marbella the Andalusia region of
Spain made these funds available to my firm and the available fund is in US
dollars amounting to millions, because of the heat they are now facing from

building on land protected from development, manipulation of public tenders,
and the acceptance of bribes as well as schemes to alter the price of
municipal services.
In this sleaze scandal, which hit the southern Spanish resort city Marbella
in spring 2006,and they know their chances of not going to jail is slim they
have asked my firm to act swiftly on their behalf in other for them not to
lose out completely and save something for their family members.
