Subject: RE: Your email
Dear Mr VICTIMNAME, Thank you very much for your kind response of my mail. By way of introduction, l am Mr Emanuel Udem, My late father was among the few preveiledged people in my country before the rebels attacked our capital freetown destroying andlooting government properties and also killing many innocent civilians including my father, this made me to run for my dear life with my mother. But as l have said ealier, the future of my family matters so much to me and this is why l am seeking, your assistance so that this money will be properly secured and invested in your country under your guidance as l have not done business before. You do not need to do any special thing to qualify, you have already qualified because l chose you, you have to listen to my plans to make this work and l want to assure you that you will ever be happy.Meanwhile , this money was brought to Thailand in cash under a good arrangement and is still in the vault of the security company for safe
keeping. But the real contents was not delared as the consigment was only marked family valubales, My late father did not reveal the contents because he was afraid that he might lose the money if he do that,this is one reason why we pay high charges.Ever since this treasure box was kept in the security company in Bangkok, it has been accumulating charges up to the time of my father's death.l also had the hope that l will be able to get a capable businessman to advise me on the best business to invest this money without risk or loss quickly. Now your involvement: Firstly, you will assist me in clearing the box from the secuity commpany : Secondly, you will also help me to move the money to your country safely . Thirdly: the whole process of investment in your country will be handled by you as l do not have any experience in business. Please note that upon geting the money out of the security company, every money you spent in supporting me will be refunded , in addition, l have
made up my mind to give you 20% of the total.l want to assureyou again that there is no risk involved in this business, please keep all our discussion only toyourself. l will be checking with the security company to know the details of the charges to this time and then l will let you know. Please call me 66-1-2868299. Let me know your telephone number . l strongly felt convinced that associating with you to embark on this project will be a huge success hereafter.Best regards, Emanuel Udem.
