Subject: DEPENDING ON YOUR GOOD PERSON
My Warmest Greetings,
I am 25 years old Sadou K.Hamal. It's my pleasure to contact you for a
business venturewhich I intend to establish in your country. I wish and
hope you can help me to invest in your country.
Though I have not met with you before but
I believe one has to risk confiding in someone
to succeed sometimes, in life.
There is this huge amount of Eighteen million U.S dollars
($18,000,000.00) my late Father kept for me and my late mother
in a deposit house before he wasassassinated by unknown rebels.
Unfortunately, my mother also was murdered after some month later,
so I ran and took refuge. Now I decided to invest this fund in your
country or anywhere safe enough outside Africa for security and
political reasons. I need your help to transfer this fund to your
country for investment purposes on the followings below:
1). Real estate
2). Five star hotel
3). Construction company
Or more profitable business
If you can be of assistance to me, let me know because I will like to
live in your countryboth for the investment and to further my education
in your country. For helping me, Iwill give you 25% of the total sum. I
want the fund out of here immediately so that I canstart a new life in
country.
Please confirm the receipt of this mail URGENTLY.You can write me on:
sadou@seckinmail.com
Extend my warmest regards to your entire family.
Best Wishes of the year and God bless you.
Sincerely,
Sadou
