Subject: Private and Urgent
I know this message might come to you as a surprise since you don't
know me before I got your contact from Senegal information network
online(SINO)
And want to use this opportunity to express my interest in doing
business with you as i belive that you are reliable in handling these
type of internationl transaction.
I am Mrs Savimbi, from Angola, but resident in Senegal West Africa With
my only Son. we arepresently in exile here in Senegal I want to buy
real estate properties worth $15 million US dollars in you cuntry or
investing in any lucrative business in your country to secur the future of
my only son. And want to use this opportunity to seek your advice on
your country. Over the recent years there hane been case of political
instability in most country in Africa and as a result am afraid to invest
here. On this note i have decided to look else where for possible
investment opportunities, hoping that I would achieve this goal with the
assistance of a reliable person like you.
I am writing to konw if you can locate and purchase viable properties
for me or to invest in any lucrative business in yourb country and also
manage it untill I leave Africa. Presently I can not be able to travel
out of the continent but if you can locate any investment or purchase
and manage the properties then i will invite you to visit me here in
Senegal immediately to sing agreemet with me here as my agent/real estate
manager and i will release the investment fund to you while you are
here and when you go back to your country you will purchase the properties
on my behalf, according to my order and instructions after which my son
will visit you to inspect the properties.
I will offer you 20% commission of the total investment fun and will
pay you back any expense you may incur in the business so if you can
handle the business,write me immediately with full deails of the available
properties/investment. and also furnish me with your fax and phone
numbers.
By the virtue of my position, you should protect my interest in
the business,and should treat the business with absolute confidentiality
because i don't want the Government to know about my wealth. because
the money we want to use for the investment was made by my late husband
from the government treasury during his tenure in the office and the
fund was deposited in a sealed box in a private security company here as a
family treasure for security reason and will be released to you on
concluding all formalities during your visit.
I am looking forward to the courtesy of your immediate reply.
Thanks for your co-operation,
Yours sincerely.
Mrs Savimbi.
