kept us in a fix to openly come forward to claim the outstanding balance of US$ 
30 million, hence after series of private meetings we decided to make contact 
in order to get a reliable foreign partner whom we will forward his or her 
credentials to claim the fund based on mutual  trust and agreement.

In a nutshell, we need your assistance and support to claim this fund so that 
at the later time convenient for us, we will come over to your country after
