Hello,
My name is James, a Trader, Auditor, Mentor, Investment Manager, Logistics
Expert and General Business Man, I stay in London, UK. I contact you in
respect of establishing a business relationship with you.
There is a certain amount of money that belongs to me. I intend to take the
money out of the Germany to another location and bring back the money on a
later date for investment and my own personal use. I made this money in the
course of auditing a big Investment Firm in Germany and discovered this
money as some excesses.
When I discovered these funds, I discussed the issue with the Company's
accountant General as well as their personal relationship banker/adviser.
This company in question is a very huge company and has been doing business
for a very long time, since 1950s.
In the course of genuine business over this period, the money described
above has been floating in the banking system and was recently made known
to the Company's Accountant General by me. The Company's Accountant General
has been a close friend of mine over time. I've been one of this company's
Official Auditor General for over 25 years.
You may now understand why we need to take the money safely out of Germany
before spending it. Here's our plan, we intend to get a neutral individual
who is willing and able to receive this money in form of investment funds
to be used by the individual in infrastructural projects, real estate
investment or trade etc.
This is just to get the funds out of The Bank where it is presently, to the
receiver's bank only. However, the deal is that the funds would be shared
into 4 equal places and each of us would be entitled to equal parts of the
funds after you receive. I'm talking about Me, You, The Company's
Accountant General and The Senior Officer at The Bank who is the company's
personal relationship banker/adviser.
We do not require any complicated paperwork or lawyer agreements etc to get
this work done. Our agreement would be between 4 of us only as we require
utmost confidentiality in this matter. You do not have to tell your bank
the details being given in respect of these funds. All we require from you
is your willingness and ability to receive the funds in question.
With all these in place, The Bank will initiate wire transfer of the funds
to your account. We expect that we act according to the agreement we shall
get to in respect of this. This isn't a risky operation or money
laundering. Its just a simple opportunity which we intend to exploit using
an absolute stranger.
Let me know if this is something you would like to be a part of. If you
have any questions, please ask. We would be very glad to move forward on
this immediately but require utmost and absolute confidentiality. I'm very
willing to furnish you every information you might require so long you
promise not to betray privileged information getting to you as a result of
this communication.
Thanks for your time. I await your response.
Regards,
James Elimard
