Hello my Dearest,
Greetings to you. I thank God for coming across you and believe by the grace
of God you will not turn down my request. I am Miss.Jennifer Doe, 25 years
old girl from Liberia, the only daughter of Late President Samuel Kanyon Doe
who was killed by Prince Johnson and his rebels groups after many innocent
soul were killed,My father was killed by government of Prince Johnson, he
accuse my father of coup attempt.
I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment I, am receiving
from my step mother. She planned to take away all my late father`s treasury
and properties from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Father.
Meanwhile I and my step mother escaped to France after the assassination of
my father so that we will not be also assassinated by my father`s enemy. I
decided to run to London where my father has most of his investments since
my step mother was maltreating me in France because she has find out that my
father made me next of kin to all his investments and money she left behind
but she hide away my international passport and other valuable traveling
documents. She was threatening my life that i should give her all the
documents i have about my late father`s investment.
Luckily she did not discover where I kept my Father`s File which contains
important documents. So I decided to run from France to London to the
refugee camp where I am presently seeking asylum under the United Nations
High Commission for the Refugee here in London, United Kingdom.
I have read and heard that your country is a peaceful, quite hospitable
place and Government tax is not much compared to what is obtainable in other
country. Because of this, I am contacting you personally for a long term
business relationship and investment assistance in your country.
My father of blessed memory deposited the sum of US$4,123, 000.00 in Finance
Firm with my name as the next of kin. However, I shall forward you with the
necessary information of the deposit on confirmation of your acceptance to
assist me for the transfer and investment of the fund in your country. As
you will help me in an investment, and I will like to complete my studies,
as I was in my school, when the crisis started.
It is my intention to compensate you with 20% of the total money for your
services and the balance shall be my investment capital. This is the reason
why I decided to contact you.
Please all communications should be through this email address only for
confidential purposes. As soon as I receive your positive response showing
your interest I will put things into action immediately.
In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating
your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely.
I am staying at the female hostel. Awaiting your urgent and positive
response. Please do keep this only to your self please I beg you not to
disclose it till I come over, once the fund has been transferred.
I hope my explanation is very clear but if you need further clarification,
then send in your questions.i will try to send you my picture in my next
mail.
Thanks as i hope to receive from you soon.
Yours Truly!
Miss. Jennifer
