Subject: I will be waiting for your response.
Good day,
My mail may seem a little confusing considering the fact that we have not met before. Please understand that this is the only mean through which i can get in touch with you, as i wish to discuss something very personal. My name is Franco Aristide, i am the brother to the past President of Haiti, (Jean Bertrand Aristide) who is now presently on exile.
Several months ago in the year 2004, my brother's political opponents here in Haiti, master-minded and led a revolution aganist my brother's regime. There was so much violence and killings during that time, with various attempt to overthrow my brother. Fortunately for us we managed to escape out of the country. I left the country with some members of my family through the atlantic ocean with a ship that headed towards Mauritania Africa. I was lucky to escape from the violence in Haiti with members of my family and we are presently in political assylum here in Central africa republic.
Some weeks before their attack, i had the vision that there would be a political unrest in the country, so i then acted fast to sell out a few of my propeties that i could sell out as at that time. I gathered all the money that i had in my possession which amounted to a total of ($47 million and some fractions in US dollars). I was not able to transfer or move the money out of the country because of the unrest and instability that was everywhere, so i alternatively coded and packaged all the money to a safer place in the city of Port-de-Piax, where i hid it in a very safe place and the money has been safe there, nobody is aware of the existence of this money. It was from the city Port-de-Piax that i was able to leave the country with my wife, children and some other lucky members of our family.
I am writing brcause i need your assistance and cooperation to help me receive and keep this money safe, because i am now making perfect arrangments to move this money out of there Haiti to Europe for future investments and safe keeping, since i now need to invest this money in any good type of business that you can assist me with and equally start a quite and new life in your country. My entire family have been set back as a result of this past and so i now need to start planning their future again. This money is all i have left to revive my family. Please do let me know if you can work with me, so that i can give you more details on my arrangements. I urgently await your e-mail.
Best Regards
FRANCO ARISTIDE.
