Subject: I look forward to hearing from you
Greetings,I am a Fund Manager with Fidelity Investment UK. The world largest funds management company with over $1.2 Trillion Capital Investment Funds. As a fund manager, I handle all our Investor's Capital Project Funds that enables me to divert 1.2% Investors Excess Return Capital Funds to our Magellan Trust Funds Account whereby anyone can be presented to claim the funds. I have more than 158 Corporate Investors attached to my PORTFOLIO whose Capital Investment Funds are been managed and administered by me. This Capital Investment Funds has a value of US$244Billion FIXED. The $244billion is been used for trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending with Profit Returns. Every Year, each Corporate Investor is expected to receive 20% interest from his total Investment Capital Funds which is paid to the Investor annually as their Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit (EMRCP) However, I made average of 21.2% from the Investor's Investment Capital Funds annually which have exceeded our targeted 20% of total Investment Capital Funds. On this note, the extra 1.2% from the 21.2% is been retained by me as my personal profits for managing the Capital Investment. In the other hands, I cannot claim this funds without presenting someone to stand as an Investor otherwise our Establishment will convert the funds into the Company's Treasury. This is why am establishing a personal contact with you to pull this through. In view of the above, the total sum of US$60.5M has been diverted representing the 1.2% Excess Return Capital Funds from the Investor Capital Project Funds for 2006/2007. I need a reliable and trustworthy person that can work this deal out with me so that we can claim the funds as mentioned above.There is no risk attached and the funds in question can never be dictated or traced. Having established this communication, If you can be trusted, you would then stand in as an Investor to receive the funds as Annual Investment Proceeds from Fidelity Magellan Capital Funds. I have determined to work this deal with you if you can do the business. At the moment, I'm compelled not to issue more details about this business until your positive response is received.I am counting on your sense of confidentiality,as it is my desire that you keep this business to yourself.Anticipating to hearing from you.Warmest Regards,Tim McCarron.Funds Manager of FidelityInvestment International.www.fidelity.co.uk/wealthmanager/funds/europe/oeicsandunittrusts/european.html
