Subject: DEAR CHOSEN PARTNER
DEAR CHOSEN PARTNER
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not
yet met. The message could be strange but real if you pay some attention to
it. I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your
integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies in bringing this message of
goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any
pains. As i am writting you, i am in a sick bed because i am having a heart
attack.
I am a Mrs. Sandrine Mpondo, 42 year old woman from Sierra Loene in west
Africa.I elate to inform you that I inherited a total sum of $8 million Us
dollars (Eight million us dollars) from my late husband chief KOSSI
M.MPONDO, a gold and diamond dealer who was murdered early by the
former Liberian
president Mr Charles Taylor over the dispute in their diamond and gold deal.
This money which is concealled in a Trunk box has being moved to Europe, I
am presently taking refuge with my two kids here in Cotonou, Benin Rep. This
trunk box was deposited as containing family treasure not money for security
reason.That is to say that the diplomatic company does not know that the
trunk box contains money.This was done under a high powered government
conection.
Your assistance is now sought in retrieving the trunk box from the
diplomatic company in Europe and transfer this money to you country for
investment into any lucrative business of your choice.By this mail, you are
requested to visit me for familiarisation and to enable us arrange on how to
get this trunk box out from the deposit company and transfer this money into
your account in your country after which I will go back with you.
But if you cannot come down here in Africa, i can prepare a letter of
Authorization to empower you to contact the diplomatic company there in
Europe for the release of the trunk box to you. For rendering this service,
you will be highly compensated, a situation that will be discussed later.
I want you to take this transaction very serious because it will benefit
you.I will later tell you why I reposed this trust and confidence in you, a
person I have not met before. We must act fast because it cost me $50 daily
as demurage to the deposit company keeping this trunk box in Europe and the
earlier we remove it from there the better for us. This is not scam
please.Iknow about scam because my late husband was a victim before
his death.
Please while replying do not forget to include your direct telephone number
for easier and good communication
