Subject: help me
Dear Sir,
Please this proposal is strictly confidential with due respect. Sorry
at the perceived confusion or stress you may have receiving this letter,
since we have not known or met ourselves previously. Despite that
reason, please save me from this situation as I hope that this proposition
will not constitute an embarrassment to you in any way.
I decided to contact you because of the urgency of my situation here
and with this, let me introduce myself. I am Miss. Lilian Pinnar (20
yrs.old), The Daughter of the former(Commander General head of interim
government of Sierra leone;Magor Gen Joseph Pinnar who died during the
S/Leone civil disturbances. I am constrained to contact you because of the
maltreatment I received from my Father's brothers. They planned to
forcefully
take all my Father"s treasury and properties away from me and my Mother
Meanwhile I have my lovely Mother alive.But she pass away after the death
of my late lovely father. I wanted to escape out of my country with my
mother,
but they conspired together and stole my international passport and kill my
Mum.
and other valuable traveling documents. But luckily they did not
discover where I hide my father’s documents file where important information
are kept. So I decided to contact you confidentially regarding to this
particullar issue.
They have even closed all my father's bank accounts just to frustrate
and enslave me. Now I urgently need the assistance of a
reputable and trustworthy Foreigner like you to help me make solid
arrangements and subsequent investment on my behalf the sum of
US$ 8.200.000.00 (EIGHT MILLION,TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS), which
my father kept as a Security vault before his death.
It therefore became very necessary and urgent that somebody in your
foreign position should render a helping hand to safe-guard this fund for
me in safe haven over there until my arrival in your country. It is my
intention to compensate you with 15% of the total funds for your
services instead of loosing all to these ungrateful elements called my
father's brothers.Please bear in mind that 5% will be kept aside for any
miscellaneous expenses incurred by both of us and balance kept for the
goodness of us respect of some good investments in your country or
other country as you may advice me.
This is the reason why I decided to contact you. Please all
communications should be through this email address only for confidential
purposes. Giving you my phone number will definitely expose all the
transaction
as they monitor my calls.
So the fund being a huge amount of money would require your help as a
Foreigner who can invest in any country outside Africa.This money is
deposited in a Bank which is a security means of keeping money.
AS soon as i get a positive response from you,i shall send to you all
the documents relating to this deposit and shall be dispossed to answer
any questions you may wish to ask,Regarding to the transaction.
In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message
indicating your ability and willingness to help me handle this
transaction sincerely.
Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Thanking you in advance for
your understanding and co-operation.
Yours Sincerely
L.Pinnar
