Hello Dearest oneFrom Mark J Williams.
Greetings to you.
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you, as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past. I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense benefit.
My name is Mark J Williams, from Sierra Leone. I have something very important that i would like to confide in you please,I have a reasonable amount of money inherited from my late father (19,2M$ Ninteen Million, Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollar}. I want to invest in your country with a very honest person and again in a very profitable venture.
I'm expecting your reply for more explanation.
Thanks and God bless you.
My sincer regards to you,Yours Mark
