With Trust from Benjamin
Hello Dear,
It is with utmost confidence and trust that i am writing you. My name is Benjamin Sesay, a Sierra-Leonean but presently residing in Cote d'ivoire. I have a reasonable amount of money inherited from my late father. I want to invest in your country with a very honest person and again in a very profitable venture. I think you can be of good help to assist me since you are living in a more peaceful country than my war ravaged country.
I will appreciate if you can get in touch with me as soon as you receive this letter so that i can tell you more details about my proposal.
Thanks and Peace be to you,
Im looking forward to hear from you.
Sincerely Yours,
Benjamin Sesay I will be giving you some % of the total sum for your assistance.
Kindly contact me as soon as possible.
