I have a concealed business suggestion for you; I have documents of a large amount of funds which he (Mr. Kim Woo-choong my boss) handed over to me before he was jailed for fraud and embezzlement, thereby leading to the freezing of his finances and assets.

I cannot travel out of the country, make or answer telephone calls; my only means of communication for now is through email as I am seriously monitored. After searching through the books of your country's chambers of commerce and industries here in Korea I am contacting you to assist me to re-profile the funds and equally invest same. The total amount of funds to be re-profiled is Sixty six million dollars ($66,000,000.00) and you will be paid 20% for your management services.
