Subject: DEAR CHOOSEN ONE.
I have a new email address!You can now email me at: christ_the_hope_church@yahoo.co.uk
Dear Sir/Madam; Calvary Greetings to you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Amen).
I am sorry to have to bother you with this mail. It's because of the nature of this
Request is urgent. I got your contact through the trade and commerce from your country who recommends you as trust worthy, reliable person to do business with hence my contacting you. I am sending this email to you as a friend knowing that you are reliable and consistent person; at least if you can help young Timothy, whose father died in Congo as a result of communal war, or recommend someone like you, trustworthy, reliable and honest partner to assist him in his present dilemma. I will be very grateful.
Just recently, Security Company officials made a visit to our Church
Premises where I happen to be the pastor of the church and demanded to see
One member of our church. As an elder in the Church and a man of God,
I was privileged to attend the first meeting between young Timothy and the visiting officials from the Security Company.
The outcome of the meeting resolved rounds an orphan in our church whose parents died in rivalry war. According to the story, Timothy Kanbalo flew Republic of Congo and came to Ghana for shelter. We were made to understand that Timothy’s father once a businessman in Ghana and mining investor deposited 2 metallic trunk boxes and unspecified quantity of diamond with “Allied Security Company” in Ghana way back, 1999.
The visiting officials demanded Timothy to make a visit to their business
Office to verify documents attested to the existence of these items which
He did. After the initial visit, it was resounding success for young Timothy to
Discover his father’s consignment deposited with Security Company awaiting claims.
At the record time, we cannot ascertained the true worth of the diamond,
But the consignment deposited valued the sum of $9,534,650.00(USD)
Respectively with a clause that surviving beneficiary should claim
This to foreign country to invest in stocks and estate business
Accordingly or sought for foreign partner to assist in claiming the consignment.
Also, part of the clause accompanying the consignment stated that receiving
Beneficiary, should be compensated with 15% while also the receiving
Beneficiary will assist the surviving beneficiary to settle logistics and
Immigration problems while repatriating the consignment/funds and the diamond
To the recipient’s (your) country of origin.
After several visit to the Security Company, I have been appointed to
Accompany young Timothy with the Consignment to your country upon receipt
Of your email response that you are willing to assist us to receive the
Consignment in your country. We are ready to give you your 15% as stated in the clause and as a man of God I am giving my promise that I will make sure you get your compensation without any delay as soon as the business done in your country.
Please, we are begging you to make this a personal matter as we don’t want
The members of our church to know we are contacting outside beneficiary to
Assist us. The only thing we required of you is to stand in as the foreign partner and contact the security company and make the claim or contact young Timothy's Lawyer who will brief you on the requirements needed to make the claim. Timothy father appointed lawyer can be contacted on this telephone number +233-243-432-441(Barrister Michael Ngozi).
Kindly forward your email and telephone number and I will be speaking with
You as soon I receive your reply.
Pastor Elijah.
