Mrs Margaret Harrison,

Lot 21/B Villa 2065.
Dakar Senegal.
Compliment of the day, I would like to apply through this medium for your
co-operation and to secure an opportunity to invest and do joint business
with you and my family in your country, if you can handle long time business
investment jointly with me and my children in your country. I honourably
intend to invest in your country into a very lucrative business venture of
which you are to advise and execute the said venture over there for the
mutual benefits of both of us. Your able co-operation is to become my
business partner in your country and create ideas on how money will be
invested, properly managed and the type of investment after the money is
transferred to your account with your assistance.
Meanwhile, on indication of your willingness to handle this transaction
sincerely by protecting our interests and upon your acceptance of this
proposal, I would furnish you with the full detailed information, procedure
and amount involve. I shall be glad to reserve this respect and opportunity
for you, if you so desire, but do urge you to give the matter your immediate
attention it deserves. Looking forward to your response.
Yours Faithfully.
Mrs.Margaret Harrison and Son Philip Harrison
