Dear Sir/Madam
My Name is Ms Tracy Abel the daughter of the late Bishop Ernest Abel who was
the Reverand of the Command of faith ministries in Botswana . I got your email
address from South African Chambers in Johannesburg, South Africa.
I came to seek for asylum since my father died from heart attack last year,
I did explain my problem to the lady that referred me to you. Since she thought
that maybe you can be able to help me, as I needed somebody that is
internationally already to help me. Before my father died he left some funds for
me so that I can be able to help myself as my mother died in 1990 and since then
I have been on my own but my fear now is that, I don’t want my brother
Joseph Abel who is now a the Reverand to know about this funds that is the reason
I want to transfer this amount before he put his hands on its.
The amount involve is $25 million us dollars, if you can be able to help me to
transfer this amount I promise you will benefit from its I have deposited the
funds in the security company here in South Africa, my brother I wish you can
be of my assistance as I don’t want too many people to know about this, I have
every document that will be needed in transferring this funds overseas and I am
prepared to do that as soon as I found somebody to help me to do that, I trust
that you involment to this will really help me.
I have agreed to offer you 30% for your assistance, 5%will be mapped out for any
expenses that may be occurred in the course of this transaction, while 65% will
be for me and to invest in your country. Please contact me on this direct on this
