Subject: Dearest one,
Dearest one,
I know that my message will come to you as a surprise
since I dont know you in person or met with you before, but I am of the
believe that you would be obliged to come to my assistance after
hearing about my situation.
I was, until recently, a Medical student
of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka West Africa.Late last year
October 2006, the Rebels in my State Struck our township and killed my
parents and my only sister in one of their attacks.
My late Father,
Sam Mbakwe being the former Governor of my State was a prime Target.
Fortunately for me, I was in school when the attack took place.
Before his death he had a foreign account here in Nigeria up to the
tune of $12.5m which he told the bank was for the importation of some
processing machine. I want you to do me a favour to receive this
funds
to a safe account in your country or any safer place as his
beneficiary.If you are interested please let me know for that we can
proceed.
I am waiting to your immediate reply.
Thanks.
best
regards.
James Mbakwe.
