Subject: Urgent Assistance
Dear Friend,
I want to use this media to ask for your aid in this transaction which
I am sure will be of benefit to both you and I but let me apologize for
contacting here without your approval or consent,it is because I need someone
to help me out of my situation.
My name Paul Sopo,22 years of age from Cameroun a country in the Western
region of Africa.My father Sopo Priso was a multi-millionaire known in my
country and all over west Africa because of his business establishments
in West Africa.He died in July 2004 and left three wives and twenty three(23)
children behind.
I am his fourth child and my mother only had me for him.Due to our tradition,the
wealth has to be divided among his wives and children and this cause a lot
of problem in the family.
My mother died because of the problem because she is the only educated wife
of my father and the other wives thought that it was my mother who drew
up the will for my father.On the 20th of October last month some armed men
came to my mother's house and started firing gun shots which killed my mother
and ran away and up till this moment the government refused to do anything
about it.
After my mother's death,while cleaning the house,I discovered a silver box
in my mother's room that is cleverly hidden and I sought after it and have
it removed.I was shocked to discover that the box was full of money in United
Dollars bills and a small par of it is some gold.
I was confused because I didn't know what to do with it,I carried the box
and deposited it in a security company in Yaounde,Cameroun and have it declared
it as family valuables.
I wanted to start to safe this money but the family are using their influence
on me to collect the money because they claimed they know that my mother
has in her position some money belonging to my father.The first son of the
family is a politician and he is trying to use his influence to threaten
me.I have locked up in jail for ten(10) days without food in the prison
and now that I have just been released I have decided to look for partner
abroad who will help me to transfer the money.
This is why I have sent this mail to you without anticipation for your permit,the
amount of the money according to the documents I found on it is $4,000,000.
I am ready to offer or pay you for your assistance which you will render
for me,I am doing this because I know I am going to take your precious time
in doing this transaction and I want you to please do understand me.
Please reply to my privet email address if you want to help me paul_priso@fsmail.net
Waiting for your response and your decision.
Thanks and best regards,
Paul Sopo
