you while the profit will be shared among us at the end of the accounting
period.Please do give this a thought lets see how to start because am a Sick
man in Europe at the moment.

I have some accumulated funds from my Farming business in Zimbabwe but based
on the present political crisis in that region the Thabo Mbekis Government
is confiscating foreign Investor’s Assets,I am presently in a hospital and
can not move so i need your assistance in the moving of the funds to your
account so that we can raise a Hotel or B&B with 12millioneuros but i want
to invest it through you being at the fore front for security reasons.Please
keep this on the low level, if you are interested i will need you to provide
me with your data which includes among others, Full Name, Address and Phone
Numbers,and also we will need your account in future after we must have
finalized with the agreement on profit sharing an other things before the
funds will be transfered.

I look forward to your urgent response.If you are not interested delete this
email please

Regards
Williams S. Cole
