Basically since we are working for the American government we cannot keep these funds, but we want to transfer and move the funds to you, so that you can keep it for us in your safe account or an offshore account.

We will divide the total funds in three ways, since we are 2 that is involved.

This means that you will take 30%, I will take 30%, and my partner will take 30%. 10% will be kept aside for expenses.

This business is confidential, and it should not be discussed with anyone.  There is no risk involved whatsoever. If you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us.
