Subject: From Natu Serge.......
Dearest in Heart,
First and foremost, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this
transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given genuine
approval considering the facts we have not known each other before; I wish
to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you. I am Mr Natu Serge from
Liberia, West Africa. I write to inform you of my desire to invest, and to
buy a living house in your country.
I am the first daughter of Mr. George serge; my father was a diamond/gold
merchant in my country.My father had a bullet shot by the rebels on his way
traveling out of my country with two of my younger sister's due to present
crisis that is occurring in our country (Liberia).
My sister's died on the spot while UN peacemaker, keeping force rescued my
father, and he was taken to hospital for medical treatment,which he later
died. Before he died he revealed to me about the box containing: some raw
gold and $10.5 million, (Ten million and five hundred thousand us
dollars).Which he deposited with a security company in
COTE D' IVOIRE for safekeeping. My father did not disclose the content of
the box to the security company to avoid the officials from raising eyebrows
to the funds.Presently I myself are here in COTE D' IVOIRE to notify the
security company for the claims, I am here as refugee.
Therefore I want you to contact the security company here in COTE D' IVOIRE
and be my beneficairy to this funds and withdraw this funds out from the
security company as the direct beneficiary of this consignment and direct me
on how best we can invest this money, because my father told me that it is
dangerous to invest this money in Africa to avoid suspicions, and due to
market instability coupled with economic and political instability facing
African countries,
that is why I want to invest Abroad. For your mutual assistance, I myself
have agreed to offer you 15% of the total amount of the money. My father
gave me all the vital documents covering the deposit and the ownership,
which I can send to you on request. Note: I will like you to keep this as
confidentail as ever. Forward to me your fax and phone or mobile numbers for
easy communication.
Waiting for your urgent response.
Best regards,
Yours Natu Serge.
