Two weeks ago, I received Key Text Code from a
Security Company abroad,that my late father
deposited U.S $19 Million cash with this
company. It has therefore, become very necessary and
urgent to contact someone, a foreigner like you to
help me receive/secure these funds overseas in
areliable Bank Account (presumably an empty Bank
Account, if available) and to help invest it on our
behalf as well, till when i will be able to come to
your country and meet you.
These funds are kept on an OPEN BENEFICIARY
MANDATE"with the Security Company to avoid
detection,seizure or diversion. I have had several
telephone discussions with the Assistant Director of
the security company,who has express willingnessto help me on meeting
the company's demands.
This is why I have contacted you to help save my
family and I, receive these funds on our behalf. But,
you would need to give me sufficient assurance that if you help me, you
would not divert the funds. My family and I have resolved to give you
20% of the total sum for your assistance while the remaining 80% will
remain and also be nvested on behalf of my family.
please, I have reposed my confidence in you and i hope
you will not disappoint me. I look forward to your
urgent response,including your private phone / mobile Number and also
your fax Number for easier communication.
Stay blessed.
Wassalam.
