Good morning, Mr. Phelps. The man you're looking at is Miguel De Varo, the liberal
president of Costa Mateo. Recently, De Varo announced a forty million dollar
industrialization program for his country. This program is to be financed solely
from funds in the presidentail vault. However, this man, Phillipe Pereda, Costa
Mateo's finance minister, secretly removed the money and deposited it in a Swiss bank.
Since it is reputed that the presidential vault can only be opened by De Varo, it
is Pereda's plan to frame the president for embezzlement and take over the country.
De Varo considers Pereda to be his closest friend and would not believe that his
minister of finance was planning such a move. Your mission, Jim, should you decide
to accept it, would be to stop Pereda. As always, should you or any of your IM Force
be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This
tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
