Email from Saito Watanabe, Japan investment scam

Good Day,

I am representing an investment interest from Japan, interested in overseas investment in your country, involving large volume of funds, for which we seek your participation as an overseas representative.

The regulations here, prohibits me from getting involved in private business, while under government employment, hence this proposal to you, in view of your impressive profile.

If you feel disposed towards the solicited role, please indicate by prompt response, so that I may provide you further details of the transaction, and also let you know what will be coming to you as remuneration for your solicited role. After that we shall then come to an understanding concerning the prospective areas of investment in your domain that will be conducive for investors of foreign descent.

Bear in mind however, that this is a legitimate transaction, and the only reason why strict privacy is advised, is that the result of restrictions of the Japanese regulations.

I look forward to your prompt response.

Yours Truly,

Saito Watanabe.
