Subject: from... Rev Fr Peter Richard.
Dear Friend,
It took me time and divine intervention
to write you this mail, as we have never
had any correspondence before. My name
is Rev. Father Peter Richard. I'm a
catholic priest and I'm very much
interested in a relationship with you
for mutual benefits as I have access to
what is needed, but lack the experience
and I'm not in a position to perfect its
use. There is an urgent need for my
contacting you as I recently have been
granted an opportunity to have access to
US$8,500,000.00 (Eight Million Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
Only). Access to this fund is made
available by a woman, who happens to
be a serious member of my parish. She
is well known in this community and
aside being a major real estate agent
she is a magnet in environmental
management and was a liencened oil
merchant beforenow.Unfortunately she has
been living and struggling with breast
cancer for close to 14 months now. Though
she is unmarried, she has a 12 years old
daughter and I have been responsible for
her care seen the break of her horrible
dilemma. She has been through a first
operation, and though she is to undergo
a final operation within the next few
days, the doctors have not given her
much of a chance to live. She is not
aware of this fact and she stills remains
hopefully that something positive can be
done in her case. Based on my last
discussion with her yesterday afternoon
on the future of her daughter, should she
not be so lucky. She insisted that the
fund should be invested. Unfortunately
I'm definitely not in a position to run
things,which is why I seek your
assistance in taking control of managing
the fund.I have resolved with her on an
agreement that will be drawn up by you on
a yearly charge that will be paid to
youfortaking control and managing the
fund while half of the proceed will be
given for the development of treatment
of cancer patients. The rest will remain
with you for the up keep of her daughter.
I wish you could be of assistance to
this course and I'd like to add that
sometimes I receive unsolicited mails,
so I hope my mail doesn't come as an
embarrassment to you, but if it does
please kindly accept my apologies.
Awaiting your response,
Yours In Christ, Rev Fr Peter Richard.
