Subject: From Dr.Bersson David Lawrence
Dearest,
My name is Dr.Bersson David Lawrence, a medical doctor and the sole
proprietor of a specialist hospital here in London.
I have a patience here in my clinic who is suffering from Cancer of the
Lungs, he has been so ill for some couple of months now. This man
confided in me based on the free medical attention I have been given to
him.
He had revealed to me of his life history and about his late wife who
was a top officer in one of the Asian country (INDIA) before her death
during the Tsunami Disaster and the fortune he inherited from his late
wife.
He has asked me to source a credible and trustworthy partner abroad who
will manage his funds for investment, the sum of Eighteen Million US
Dollars (US$18m) which his late wife deposited in a safe Fiduciary
Security finance company in Europe. I wish to choose you for this
venture and
I believe you will be in the position to assist in managing this large
sum in a profitable venture and also to help create a safe heaven for
him and his children by making a residence arrangement for them in your
country.
After he had disclosed this information to me; I saw the reason to
request from him to allow me see the documents relating to this deposit
of
which he did, now I have the documents covering the deposit which I
will not hesitate to fax to you the copies as a prove for your
confirmation as soon as I receive your response via email. I am
obliged to assist this man knowing too well that he has a limited time
to live in this world and as such he can not manage this funds himself
and in Asia in order to avoid any trace of him by the Government, I
will need from you a mutual understanding and then we shall make plans
on
how the funds would be secured into an account in your name; after
which you will arrange and travel immediately to meet with the security
finance company Agent in Europe for clearing.
This amount is contained in a sealed trunk box and it is registered and
declared as containing family treasures, so even as I am writing you
now the security finance company and its Agent is not aware that there
is
cash money in the trunk. Let me assure you that this transaction is
100% hitch - free and risk free.
From my discussion with him, he has agreed to give you a reasonable
amount of percentage for your involvement in this and this has to be
discussed upon the receipt of your quick response, you can reach me
with
this number (+447040114624). Do not forget to include your telephone
and
fax numbers while replying to this message.
I await your quick response.
Thanks and God bless for your understanding,
Sincere regards,
Dr Bersson David Lawrence.
