Dear pat
I got your contact from the internet in my search for an honest person
abroad who can assist me in a good business deal and my instinct motivated
me to write you. I hope you will be kind enough to digest my mail and assist
me in this regards.
My name is Mohammed Idris, i am an undergraduate medical student in Sierra
Leone. My Late father,Chief Idris Bangurah was a traditional ruler in my
home town. He was also a prominent Gold and Diamond dealer in my country
SIERRA LEONE before he was murdered in cold blood two year ago alongside
with my beloved mother by the rebels of the RUF,that was fighting the
legitimate democratically elected government in my country since 1992.
After the untimely death of my parents, I discovered some important
documents through my father's personal lawyer indicating that my late father
had deposited the sum of TWENTY MILLION US DOLLARS (US$20million) in a Trust
company in Cotonou, Republic of Benin for safe- keeping because of the rebel
war that was going on in my country, Sierra Leone.
With the assistance of my father personal lawyer, I have made successful
claims of the money at the Trust company here in Benin by virtue of my legal
rights as the only child and next of kin of my late parents. Now, i have
decided to transfer this money out of Republic of Benin for investment and
banking because of the political and economic instability of African
countries.
I am absolutely willing to give you 30% of this money, if you will agree to
help me transfer this money into your account abroad and also arrange for me
to come over to your country where I intend to settle down and complete my
education as a qualified Medical Doctor, 5% of this money shall be set
aside for all the expenses that might be incurred in the course of
transferring the money into your personal account or any account you may
provide.
Bear in mind that the task of investing this money in your country or any
country of your choice shall be solely done by you and such investments
shall be solely controlled and managed by you until I finish my education.
I hope you will handle this matter with altmost confidentiality and
transparency. If you are willing to assist me in this matter, please do not
hesitate to contact me for further details. I shall be very glad indeed to
hear from you as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Mohammed Idris
