Greetings and many thanks for your response.
I have been trying to send you this response from the other email address but it was not going,that is why I sent from here. Please reply here
During the bidding for oil exploration licenses in the gulf of guinea by oil exploration companies , $48 million was given to me for my assistance and intense lobbying on their behalf to win the bid.
When I decided to commence investment of the funds in preparation for my eventual exit from Sao Tome after my many years in government and politics,I contacted my lawyer to find a dependable partner to work with.I am bereft of business knowledge as I have been in government and politics all my life.
I will be depending on your business knowledge to come up with a viable investment programme for investing the funds in your country once we have concluded this transaction. You could come up with an expansion programme of your existing organization or we can start a new organization in your sphere of business.
I will instruct my lawyer to prepare authorizing and enabling documents in your favor emphasizing this point once you contact him via his details below although he has my instructions to contact you without further delay.
The documents will clearly state what is due to you and it will also clearly state my appointment of you as my sole beneficiary and funds administrator. I encourage you to contact him immediately via email below and will give you further instructions on how to proceed and what is required of you.

Do understand that confidentiality and secrecy are imperative in this transaction due to my former position Prime Minister. For this reason I will refrain from communication with you via mobile phones at this moment because I am constantly surrounded by personal aides and for the time being I will like to maintain the utmost secrecy and confidentiality while we perfect our arrangements regards the funds.
Once you contact my lawyer do not forget to inform me too. While awaiting your response do accept the assurances of my highest regards.
