Dear Sir/Madam,
Pardon my intruction into your privacy like this, but the circumstances
warrant that I do so.
I am Barrister Ossy Smith, a Lawyer/Consultant for some African Eminent
Personels who prefer to remain anonymous. They have shown proofs to me which
I have verified professionally that their claims are true, Sincere and acurate
as I wouldn't want my name and career smeared with mud, that they have a
certain large sum of money in cash (USD$45,000,000.00 - Forty five million
USA Dollars) stashed away in Security and Finance Houses in Europe. My Clients
are Politicians, Ex-heads of state and some of them are in asylum. Which
explains why they prefer to remain anonymous. They have requested that I
source for a Reliable and Capable Foreigner to act as their partner who
will help claim these funds from the security company after which it shall
be used for investment as directed by the foreigner(subject to a close study
of feasibilty expected to be supplied).
The funds are duly protected professionally to avoid any unauthorized tamperings
or theft.
A total of 22.5% of the total sum has been set aside for you if you agree
to be our partner, as well as a 5% which is mapped out for all expenses
which might be incurred in the process of claiming the funds from the security
company.
As a lawyer, I am aware of the various similar propositions mail proposal
flying about on the internet and I must confess that I was reluctant to
take up this task, but having carried out my investigations and confirm
it true, I can confidently tell you that this is no scam.
Kindly revert to me should you wish to be a partner with 100% assurance
that you won't regret your decision to do so. Please forward all further
correspondence to : barristerossysmith@wapda.com
Awaiting your prompt response.
Kind regards,
Barrister Ossy Smith.
