Subject: Help Your Son
Greetings,
This mail would come to you as a surprise but I strongly believe that for the sake of humanity you would treat this mail with utmost concern and confidential.
I am Smith Jerry Kaye, 20 years old, a Sudanese from Africa. I am the only son and the only surviving child of Late Jerry Kaye a renewed politician and gold & diamond merchant in the Western Region of Darfur.
My father was taken alive by rebels of the Southern Sudan peoples Liberation Movement (SPLM) of Salva- Kiir and he was accused of sponsoring and supplying arms and ammunitions to the opposition group, The National Congress Party (NCP) in Western Region of Darfur. They took my father to Juba the capital of the South, where they brutally murdered my father by cutting him into pieces and depositing his body on the road.
I packed my belongings including my father's briefcase containing vita family documents and ran to exile for the sake of my life. I misplaced my international passport as a result of this war; I can only give thanks and appreciation to God and the American soldier who help me out of my country to Ghana where I am now as a refugee. After I arrived in Ghana I discovered in my fathers briefcase, that he deposited the sum of $35 Million United States Dollars and 200 Kg of Gold Dust with a Safe Keeping Company in Europe which I want you to take possession right now before it too late for me.
Moreover, as the only one left in my Family, I have also resolved to leave Africa for a permanent stay in abroad. There I would continue my Education to fulfill my dream of becoming a medical doctor and also invest in a profitable business venture in your country.
I am soliciting your help in this respect to assist me as my father foreign partner to take over this deposit and claim this deposit from the safe keeping company and invest this funds for me in your country while am continue my education, therefore you would also take me as your son by investing the money for me in a profitable business venture in your country.
I am willing to part with an agreed percentage compensation, for your help and assistance in this regard but as a son to you am under your control please help me because I have know hope somewhere except you come to my aid.
Sir, I am counting on you as a father in this regard as I await your reply to this mail.
Your son.
Smith Jerry Kaye
