Subject: Re: Please respond to me urgently.
Dear Beloved,
How are you together with your family and work? I hope all is well with you and your family. I am Mrs. Katherine Jambo from Sudan, presently staying in Dakar, Senegal. I have been working as a human rights activist and a humanitarian coordinator for 15 years before i became sick and very unwell to continue the work that i started with my husband. I`m married to Mr Naboth Jambo, We were married for 32 years with one Son, John. My husband died after a brief illness and before his death, we had been working together in humanitarian agencies in Southern Sudan helping the war-displaced.
When I was the coordinator of the major human right action group in Southern Sudan, I deposited the sum of $4.5M (Four million, Five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in a Bank in Dakar, Senegal here. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next few weeks due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition, I decided to keep this money in the Bank. I am very afraid now as i am living my only son without any guardian or any body who will help me to invest this money on my son's behalf as he is still very young to manage an investment of his own.
I do not have any body left as i was an orphane and has been struggling with my late husbad for survival in life. I will want you to help me in transferring this money in the bank into your care and making an investment on behalf of my son. I will also want you to help my son in migrating to meet you where he will continue his education until he is old enough to take care of himself. I am willing to pay you 20% of the total money for your services and i will sign a comprehensive agreement with you on the management of any investment that you will make and the percentage of the profits that will come to you as the funds manager. Please do not turn me down as i am scared about the future of my only son.
Please assure me that you will assit me to secure his future as i know that i do not have much time left in the world and i will not want him to fall into very wrong hands.
I await your very urgent response.
Sincerely,
Katherine.
