Subject: HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON,
With due respect, trust and humility I write this
letter to you, seeking your help and assistance though it' s difficult since
we have not met before. I believe that you are capable and reliable in
handling this urgent international transaction of this sort.
I am MR SANTUS J.P HINGAH, the only son of CHIEF J.P HINGAH originally from liberia but i am contacting you based on a pitiable situation in which I found myself today. Please find a way to help me out and I will remain grateful. I happened to be a victim of the Liberian political crises which has turned me into an orphan and a semi - beggar.
At the moment, I am as confused as hopeless but I believe that this condition like every other one is not going to be permanent but what I do not know is when.
My father was a victim in Liberian criss which cause the death of my father and he was a successful businessman but his death turned to a blessing to all his business associates and relatives who diverted all resources to their personal interest.
I was almost left with nothing if not that before he died, he released certain
documents to me. One of these documents is the main reason i am writing
this letter to you, and it concerns a deposit of one diplomatic box my
father concealed with one of the
private security company here in dakar containing US$9.3M (nine million
three hundred thausand united states dollars) declared as family valuables, and other vital documents.
I am now in DAKAR SENEGAL with the original documents of
deposit intact, and because of the existing law, which prevents me to operate an account that exceeds US$10.000 and at the same time, there is no way i can comfortably transfer this money abroad for safe keeping and investment
without assistance from someone overseas. So i decided to write to you seeking for your help for this money to be transfered into your private bank account as all arrangements for a hitch free transfer have been fully taken care of.
I want to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free as no
other person knows this box apart from me .
Sir, as for your reward kind assistance i have resolved to give you
20% of the total amount, 7% will be set aside for any expenses that might
be incurred in the course of this transaction. i planned
to invest the rest of the money in your country under your guidance. If
you are willing to help me, try as much as possible to mail me back for more briefing, and also, to enable us proceed in earnest
towards concluding the transfer. However you will be kind enough to
tell me whom you are and what you do fore a leaving, I will be glad to know.
Sir, bear in mind that my life depend on this fund and i do hope
that this money will be safe when finally transferred into your account. I
do hope to establish a rewarding and good relationship with you and your family after this transaction.
Hoping to hear from you as soon
as possible.
Thanks for your co-operation and God bless.
Best regards,
SANTU J.P HINGAH
