Hello Elizabeth,

I appreciate your reply to my request and your desire to know more about
this cooperation. My client has a large amount of money from Thailand to
invest under qualified foreign partnership in your country and is able and
ready to finance any business plans that have good returns of investment
(ROI). My client (fund owner) is desirous of having the fund (trust
Property) received by you as investor and the Returns on Investment (ROI)
shared in the ratio agreed between my client (the Grantor) and you (the
Grantee) annually or quarterly. Bear in mind however, that this is a
legitimate transaction, and the only reason why strict privacy is advised,
is as the result of restrictions in Thailand regulations.

You will receive this fund when it is transferred out of Thailand and
invest the funds in an agreed business proposal with my client after a
common agreement has been reached in terms and procedures, trust and on his
lawyer advice. It is anticipated that you will ensure and manage the
purposed business(es), to demonstrate a commitment to achieve the business’
goals, and developing, implementing business activities and describe how
they will work together.

My client will be providing the sum of eleven million US dollars ($11
million US dollars) for the proposed business which is to be received by
you and my client will also be able to make more money available if the
business proposed is considered viable.

Let me know if you have the capability to receive this kind of money and
reinvest it in a viable business plan.

Hello Elizabeth,

Your positive response is appreciated once again and next we need to work
out the details for our cooperation. My client wants to be passive in the
partnership and investment of the fund will be on medium term investment
for like a period of 5 to 10 years beginning.

More explicitly, this transaction consists of two aspects - the first stage
is for you to receive and claim this money when it is transferred out of
Thailand - this procedure will clearly be explained to you when its time;
and the second stage will be to reinvest it in your proposed business(es).
My client will handle all the logistics and procedures to transfer this
money out of Thailand and make it available to you using his contacts and
influences.

After the money is transferred out of the out of Thailand, you will be
responsible to receive and then invest it in the proposed business(es).
Once this is done, and with all the necessary agreements and contracts
reached and sealed, my client is willing to entrust this money to you for
proper management.

Going forward, you should help look for a business proposal where we can
invest this money in your country of other country where you will be able
to monitor the investment and send us a simple business plan on how you
will assist my client to invest this money in your country. You should send
also a brief profile of yourself; and/or any information you believe will
show your competence in handling this money and the investment. Once this
is resolved, the next step will be to clarify any areas you have questions
about and then we will write an agreement contract on the details of this
cooperation and the roles of the parties involved. Next will be to work
with my Client to make sure the funds are made available for the project
soonest.

Hello Eric,

My client will like to invest in the areas of real estate or hospitality
business because this is his business areas here in Thailand. As was
written in the last, my client is ready to invest up to $11,000,000.00 US
Dollars. This investment will be a medium term investment for like a period
of 10 years. My client will also be interested to invest in other
businesses if you can provide a viable business proposal with good returns.

Hello Eric,

We appreciate your continued cooperation and my client and I expect you to
send us a business proposal where you are sure we can invest this money in
a profitable way. Once we receive your proposal, I will finalize discussion
with my client on the business proposal you made and how this money can be
transferred to you. This will be properly communicated to you. It is my
client's responsibility to transfer this fund out of Thailand and make it
available to you for the proposed investment, and my client has the needed
contact and influence to achieve this.

To transfer the money to you; after we have reached all needed agreement
and sign the agreement contract, you will be required to open a secured US
dollar bank account in the Netherlands where we will first transfer this
money to. From the secured account in the Netherlands, you can then
transfer the money to your country for the agreed investment proposal.
Netherlands is chosen to open the secured US dollars bank account because
they have a very flexible and relaxed financial rules and regulations and
therefore easy to transfer huge amount of money there from Thailand unlike
most other countries. When it’s time to open the secured US dollar bank
account, we will send the contact of a suitable bank to open the account
and guide you on what to do. understand that transferring this fund to you
directly to your country will pose too much risk that will put both of us
into trouble due to the strict financial regulations and scrutiny in your
country.

For ease and convenient, this project is divided into two phases: the first
stage of this cooperation is that you will be required to open a secured
offshore account with the ING Bank in the Netherlands to receive this money
when it is transferred out of Thailand; and the second stage to invest the
money in our agreed business proposal. Therefore, if you decide to stop
only on the first stage of receiving this money, you will get 10% share of
the $11,000,000.00 USD, which is equal to: $1,100,000 US Dollars.

Then proceeding on the second stage (if you have the capacity), to reinvest
the fund in an agreed business proposal with my client; the profits
realized will be shared in the ratio of 50% to each between you and my
partner.

The above explanation is to give you a better understanding of the whole
cooperation and if it is okay with you, then the next step is for us to
have a contract agreement between you and my client to guide us on this
cooperation.
