Subject: HELLO
Hello
I hope this letter will meet you in good health as i have prayed.
I got your contact in course of serious search for a relaible and trusted
foreign partner which made me to send this letter of good intent to seek
for your assistance in respect of your capability,intergrity and as a God
fearing person and I hope it will not cause you any embarrassment since
we neither have any previous contact or correspondence,however I would
appreciate your good understanding by giving this matter the much-needed
attention as I am presently in a difficult situation and need your urgent assistance
and guidance.
My name is Edwin Wachira from Kenya,a 24yrs old son of late former Government
contractor during the time ofEx-President of Kenya Daniel Arap Moi.Because of honesty,economic and political stability in your country,i sent this message to seek
for your kind and sincere assistance on fund transfer and investment assistance in your country.In january 2002,six months before my Father died,he deposited($10.700,000)Ten million seven hundred thousand United States Dollars with a finance firm in Dakar
Senegal.
He realised the money during some important contract
awarded to him during the term of Former Presindent
Daniel Arap Moi.
Recently,i received a notification letter from the finance firm in Dakar requiring me to
come to Dakar for the clearance of my late Father deposit with the firm as the next of Kin following the expiry of two years safe deposit contract my late Father signed with them,
as i can not afford to deal with the finance house because of my refugee status and
due to my inability and with no formal experience, I faced difficulties now in Senegal
where i am presently contacting you from. I am incapacitated by the situation more so
by the fact that I do not have the-know-how to handle such amount of money by myself.
I am now seeking for your reliable assistance and partnership to move this money out off
the Firm to Europe. I would require your assistance in terms of materials and logistics to be able to move the money from the Firm in question.
All documents concerning the money are intact with me.I would be glad to respond to your email if your would express your desire to assist me in this matter.
Please,do not see this message as embarrasing.it is of good will and of mutual benefit.However,is a problem to me because i cannot be able to handle this money
here in Senegal and i do not want to loose the money to wrong hands,been aware of the political and economic instability in Africa.
Please note that i contact you based on your capability.Because of these,i have made decision to give you any percentage we agreed on out of the total sum after the successfull transfer of the money to your country. Please kindly communicate your acceptance of this proposal to enable us discuss the modalities of seeing this through.I count
on you greatly for your assistance.
Best regards,
Edwin Wachira .
