Subject: I NEED YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE SIR,
NAME Jammeh William,
ADDRESS NO 5698 BP GAMBIA.
WEST AFRICA
Hello dear sir,
It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration, since I cannot
be able to see you face to face at first. Being the only Son of my
father,late
Mr.Dazza Lamin from Gambia Africa (WA) I am 44 years of age. My
father
was limited liability Diamond and Gold merchant in Freetown Sierra-Leone
before his untimely death. After his business trip to
abidjan to nagociate on a Good Investment business he wanted to invest
in
abidjan. A
week after he came back from abidjan , he got an accident with my mother
of which my mother died instantly but my father died after five days in
a private hospital on that faithful afternoon, I didn?t know that my
father
was going to leave me after I had lost my mother, but before he gave up
the ghost,it was as if he knew he was going to die.
He my father, (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE) he disclosed to me
that
he deposited sum of $12,000,000,00 US Dollars (Twelve Million Dollars)
in
a security company here in abidjan That the money was meant for his
Diamond
and Gold company he wanted to establish in abidjan though, according to
my father he deposited the money in a trunk box but declared it as vital
family belongings.He single handed me the key of the
box and the deposit certificate and Instructed me to seek for a reliable
and trust worthy business partner for my life time investment abroad.
Now
I have succeeded in locating the security company here in abidjan also
confirmed
the items with most honest and confidentiality.
Now I am soliciting for your assistance to help me lift this money out
from
abidjan to your safe account abroad so that we should invest it in any
meaningful
lucrative business in your country because this is my only hope in my
life.
I am willing to offer you 20% of the total fund if only you can help me
out of my present predicament. Awaiting anxiously to hear from you so
that
we can discuss the
modalities of this transaction.
I thank you for your understanding while i will be waiting for your
immediate
response.
Yours sincerely.
MR, Jammeh William
