Subject: Greetings
Greetings,
May the peace of the almighty God be with you as you read and understand this email and also respond to me at once.
Actually, I have sent you this business proposal by post a month ago but I don't know if you received the letter so I decided to also contact you via email.
I am making this contact to you on the fact that we may be of assistance to each other in developing a long lasting cordial business relationship, if you put your trust in your God that this will work out for the benefit of my own family and yours. I was moved by my personal inspiration to entrust on your sincerity to handle this business.Please permit me the time and chance to introduce myself to you, I am Mr.Bryan Watford, retired as the Perm. Secretary to the commissioner of works here in London, U.K. I am writing you for your urgent assistance in a business deal worth of 13Million USD. A friend of mine,was poisoned with some substance and he died on the 23rd of November 2006 at the University College Hospital here in Central London.Before he died, he made a confidential confession to me that he was poisoned by his Associates. Two weeks before he died, he handed to me a portfolio which contain's deposit documents with security code numbers of a deposit worth of 13Million USD which I cannot disclose to you where the deposit is at the moment. As his close friend, I believe his associates, will be coming after me but he never told me why they poisoned him rather in his confession he told me not to disclose the content of the portfolio to his associates.
I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my friend's extended relatives, this has proved unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the internet, to locate any member of his family but to no avail, I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by my friend before they got confiscated.
At the successful conclusion of this deal, we are going to share the whole money into 60:40% (60% for me and 40% for you) then I will join you in your country for the sharing and also for investment purposes according to your advice., I hope the percentage is fine with you? I assure you that this business is genuine and 100% risk free, the money in question have nothing to do with Terrorism, Money Laundering and also Drug Trafficking thus the money is Clean and does not have any Criminal records, I give you 100% guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please be informed that this business is very confidential, if you are interested, send me your full names and your direct telephone number and I will let you know the next step to follow. I await your prompt reply.
Yours Sincerely, Mr.Bryan Watford.
