Subject: Dearest Beloved
Dearest Beloved,
Please kindly go through this letter before you pass judgment because I am in need of assistance from a God fearing and trustworthy person. I am Isa Mustafa the son of late Dr. Malik Mustafa from Sierra Leone.
My late father happens to be in control of a large number of farms including cattle’s and many sheep before he was poisoned by his foreign business partners in Paris with my mother in one of their farmers association meeting because of greed.
But before his death my late father deposited some amount of money outside our country in a bank at the tone of Four Million United States Dollars $4,000.000.00. So I and my little sister were no longer safe here as the present government of Sierra Leone are working with almost all the killers of my late father and were looking a way to kill us too as one of them has just been made a minister, name undisclosed because of security reasons.
Furthermore we have contacted the bank where the money was deposited and the bankers let us understand that they signed an agreement with our late father that the total money must be transferred into his foreign business partner account undisclosed to them ,therefore because of this reason the money will not be released to us until the foriegn partner of my late father comes for the claim of the money or we should present to them the partner of our late father and that is the major reason why i am contacting you now for assistance so that you can contact the bank as my late father's foriegn partner.
All i need from you now if you have accepted and willing to help us when replying is your full names and address including your direct and personal telephone number for easy communication as you know that this transaction is a very confidential one and also assure me that you are really ready to assist us.
Please Kindly get back to me immediately after you must have gone through my message fill free and make it urgent because we are in a very difficult situation now. I am offering you 15 % of the total money amount, if you accept to help us transfer this money and in case of any necessary expenses you might incur during this transaction.
We are really hoping to hear from you soonest and it will be our greatest joy to know that you have accepted and willing to handle this transaction till the end.
Thanks and God bless you and your family.
Best regards
Isa Mustafa
