From: "Mr.Paul Bremsen" <paul_bremsen@yahoo.com>

Subject: LET ME KNOW IF YOU RECIEVED IT.
Dear Friend.
Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Mr Paul A.Bremsen, I arrived in Gambia from New Zealand
some five years ago following the discovery of Petroleum along Guinea Bissau Boundary.I also bided for
investment with GGC (Gambia Groundnut Corporation) of the Gambia Divestiture Agency here in Banjul
Gambia.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer which has defiled all forms of medical treatment,
and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my
business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused
on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is
more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way
from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and
assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations,
as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I will do on earth.
I need help from a reliable and honest person I can trust in the name of God the merciful. Considering my
present predicament and the political situation in Gambia, I now seek your assistance to help me clear
Eleven million US-Dollars (US$11,000,000.00) that I have with a recognize bank in Europe and I will
want you to help me collect this deposited fund and dispatched it to charity organizations as I will instruct
you to do.
I don?t need any telephone communication in this regards because of my health and some of my
relatives around me. I don?t want them to know about this new development and with God the merciful,
all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my lawyer in Europe
and I will also issue you a letter of recognition through my lawyer that will prove you as the next of kin to
this fund base on my instructions. I want you to always pray for me and I have set aside 18% for you for
your time. Please send a reply through my below email address with your full contact information for more
private and confidential communication and note that any delay in your reply will give me room in
searching for another person for this same purpose because you are the only person I have contacted
for now. Please, inform me that you will act according to what I told you.
May great God be with you.
Mr.Paul A.Bremsen,
