I am from uk, A retired Politician/Senior Civil Servant. I wouldn’t want you to expose this investment due to the Government of uk is currently investigating the source of my wealth as there were embezzlements of Government funds in my office during my tenure.
I cannot travel down to your country to inspect the property for now due to the nature of the investigation, I need someone like you to handle the project on my behalf and when my case is over, I will relocate with my family to meet you. I am willing to give you 10% commission from the total investment funds, if you can handle this project perfectly. I have a total sum of ($16.10 Million) deposited in a Financial Firm ready for this investment. I shall hand over this fund to you once I confirm that you are capable of handling this project on my behalf.
