Subject: I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir/Ma,
My name is Bruce Garnet.My late father was an American origin.Being a
prominent Gold and Diamond dealer he was assassinated in cold blood early
last year alongside with my mother by the rebels of (model) fighting
the legitimate Government.My late father deposited the sum of
14.6million USdollars as a family wealth in a trust company.
This money was meant to be used to build an ultra modern medical
clinic for me after I have completed my studies as qualified medical
doctor but the untimely death denied me the opportunity .It is under this
prejudices, now as the next of KIN and only child to make claim of the
ownership of the money, the diamond and gold that I am writing to you .
I am willing to give you 15% of the total sum.ln addition i will
equally deduct 5% after the transaction to cover the expenses procured
during the transaction.
However, there is a standing Clause that my late father made with
SECURITY COMPANY.That should the deposit not be claimed upon his death,
that his child as NEXT of KIN should be given the authority to claim
the deposit accompanied by his foreign partner.
His intention I believe is to get a mature and reliable person who will
see that the funds are judiciously invested with out fear of loss or
mismanagement. It is against this background that I solicit your
cooperation to Pose as my foreign Partner for claim and investments of
the funds.
I have all the documents that back up my claims and our family lawyer
has guaranteed that he will secure the Necessary Papers to enable
whosoever I will chose as my foreign partner without breach of the Law.
I am therefore awaiting a positive response from your good heart to
enable us carry out this golden opportunity.
Thank,
Kind regard,
Bruce Garnet.
