Subject: WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU URGENTLY
Compliment,
My Name is Mrs. Kumba Susan Dutu from Liberia. I was the wife of the late
Chairman of Mines Commission who died in the civil war in Liberia during the
regime of President Charles Taylor, owing to the strong opposition from the
people as a result of his dictatorial rule which led to a civil war in my
country, Liberia. I am currently living in Liberia with my children. I am
therefore soliciting for your assistance in a mutual beneficial Business
transaction that requires absolute CONFIDENTIALITY.
This probably may come to you as a surprise since we have never met before
but I believe I can trust a person with your kind of profile and reputation
which you have here, which will guarantee an absolute trust,with whom I can
build a solid business foundation.
Right now there is available cash of (US10.3 Million Dollars) Ten Million
three Hundred Thousand Dollars which has been TACTFULLY secured in a
reputable Security Firm in Cotonou,Republic of Benin, by my husband when he
was alive. This money was deposited during his tenure as a Chairman of the
Commission.
I will therefore need your assistant to secure and invest this money in your
country. I don't want to invest this money in this sub- region due to a poor
economic policy, and also for some security reasons. It is my desire to
invest this money in a blue chip industry or any other business you may
advise me. I will compensate you with 20% of the total sum; while the
remaining will be for investment according to your professional advice.
If you are interested and ready to assist, contact me immediately via here
mysusan2005@inbox.com , needsusanplshelp@yahoo.co.uk
Yours Faithfully,
Mrs Susan Kumba Dutu.
