Dear VICTIMNAME,
This proposal is to you if only you can assist me in all sincerity. My name is Princewill Covo. I will give you other important information if I receive a positive reply from you. For security reasons, I cannot disclose my full identity to you now until I am sure of your co-operation.
I was living with a very high personality but, the man died in a car accident four months ago. This man told me in secret about the source of his funds and confidence in me. He had to keep some documents concerning his secret dealings with me as well use to explain many things concerning his life to me as a good friend and as some body who was living with him. I will brief you once I am sure about you ok.
I took it upon myself to travel to his country last month, to see if I could locate any of his close relations. I want you to keep this strictly confidential; his name is Mr. Vincent Arap Moi of Kenya. For more information you can visit this website:

I sponsored this trip on my own and nobody neither my friends knew about it... Now there are two things I could do with regards to the dead mans money. First, as somebody that was living with him and know much of him, I could look for an African person to stand with for him/her to claim the funds from the Security Company where it was deposited but, due to the bad mind of blacks and knowing about the situation surrounding the former president of Kenya and for the safety of my life, I decided to contact you for this project.
After my trip back from Kenya, I went to the Security Company with all the vital documents in regards to the deposit with them but, they told me until the foreign partner to my late friend get in contact with them as this was stated on the documents should in case the original depositor is not available before they can release the consignment to the foreign partner. With this reasons, I told the company to give me some time to reach the foreign for the release of the consignment and shall get back to them.
It's based on this reason I contacted you so that we can claim this funds from the Company for our investment in your place and help our selves since the money actually is public fund due to the fact that the late president was as close to the late brutal military president that looted government treasury and that is why I have chosen to do it. I want you to be my partner.
All you would have to do is act as the foreign partner of my late friend when I shall forward you all the necessary documents. But, before I will put you in contact with the Company, I will give you more info before that.
The total money in the consignment according to what he told me and the picture of how the money looks like which he also shown to me 4 months before is untimely dead is USD17 million. Your share will be 30% which is USD5, 100,000. My own share will be 69%which is USD11, 730,000. We shall keep 1% which is USD170, 000 for expenses. These expenses include all your phone calls that you would make to me in regards to this transaction, your air ticket to come down here as well hotel accommodation for your three days trip here. We shall take that out first on your arrival immediately we claim the box.
Also provide me your direct tell/fax to reach you and let me know if you have a good private or offshore account that can carry this sum of money
Yours truly.
Princewill Covo.
N: B My intention is to put this money after it might have claimed to your place into construction like estates management.
