"06/08/2009
Italy’sfinancial police (Guardia italiana di Finanza) has seized US bondsworth US 134.5 billion from two Japanese nationals at Chiasso (40 kmfrom Milan) on the border between Italy and Switzerland."
イタリア財務警察は1345億ドル相当の米国債、他を保持していた2人の日本人をスイス国境付近のチアッソで拘束した、

US government securities seized from Japanese nationals, not clear whether real or fake

What caught the policemen’s attention were the billion dollar securities. Such a large denomination is not available in regular financial and banking markets. Only states handle such amounts of money. 警官の注意をひいたのは、10億ドル国債だった、そのような国債は、銀行業務市場で取り扱いできない、州/国だけが可能、、

As soon as the seizure was made the US Embassy in Rome was informed. Italian and US secret services were called in to assist the Italian financial police. 報道がなされるとすぐに、ローマの米国大使館に知らされ、イタリアと米シークレットサービスは、イタリアの財務警察をアシストするために呼ばれた、

Some important international financial newspapers had already reported on the existence of ‘funny money’ circulating on parallel, i.e. unofficial, financial markets. 主要メディアはさまざまな形で『贋もの』報道を開始、

Zero Hedge、 Guardia di Finanza to [Bloomberg/Die Welt]: Bonds Probably [Fake/Real] から、

Greetings from Milan,
ミラノからこんちわ、（あれっ、中川さんG8に行ってるんだ？？）

This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. I am Mr. Shoichi Nakagawa, former Finance Minister for a Group of 7 country. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you.
中川昭一です、驚かれるかもしれませんが、今日しかお友達になれる日がないのでアシカラズで、

I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. In February of this year an agent of a foreign power spiked my cold medicine with opiates causing me to nod off during an important press conference. I was subsequently forced to resign in disgrace.
この2月、その筋に風邪薬で嵌められ、大臣を辞任しました、

As my termination loomed I took the chance to retain US DOLLARS 134 BILLION in negotiable bearer bonds I found forgotten in the dusty bottom drawer of the prime minister's desk. I have since, by the grace of God, deposited these documents with trusted associates in Italy.
私の（任期中の）最後のチャンスで、（USA政府との）ネゴ用の1340億ドル国債をイタリアの信頼筋に預けました、（おそらくスイスへのアクセスの関係だと思われる、）

As I am under constant surveillance I cannot directly deposit these bonds without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance. My associates will travel to Switzerland by train to deliver the documents to the Swiss banking organization of your choice.
私は監視下にありますので、あなたのヘルプなしには直接この国債をスイスに持ち込むことはできません、これがこのメールの趣旨です、私の仲間がスイスへ行きます、

If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. If you are interested, contact me as soon as you receive this message so we can go over the details. Thanking you in advance and may God bless you. Please, treat with utmost confidentiality.
短刀直入に言いましょう、何％のチャージをお望みですか、お互いハッピーな話だと思います、くれぐれも内密でお願いします、
