DEAR SIR,
FIRST AND FOREMOST,I MUST SOLICIT YOUR STRICTEST CONFIDENCE IN THIS TRANSACTION AND I PRAY THAT MY DECISION TO CONTACT YOU WILL BE GIVEN GENUINE APPROVAL CONSIDERING THE FACTS WE HAVE NOT KNOWN EACH OTHER BEFORE, I WISH TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU.
I AM SABATER.W.FARADAY FROM LIBERIA, WEST AFRICA. I
WRITE TO INFORM YOU MY DESIRE TO INVEST, AND TO BUY A
LIVING HOUSE IN YOUR COUNTRY.
I AM THE FIRST SON OF MR. DAVID WEARH FARADAY , MY FATHER WAS
A DIAMOND/GOLD MERCHANT IN MY COUNTRY.MY FATHER HAD A
BULLET SHOT BY THE REBELS ON HIS WAY TRAVELING OUT OF
MY COUNTRY WITH TWO OF MY YOUNGER SISTER'S DUE TO
PRESENT CRISIS THAT IS OCCURRING IN OUR COUNTRY
(LIBERIA).
MY SISTER'S DIED ON THE SPOT WHILE U.N PEACE MAKER, KEEPING FORCE RESCUED MY FATHER,HE WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL. TREATMENT WHICH HE LATER DIED. BEFORE HE DIED HE REVEALED TO ME AND MY MOTHER ABOUT THE BOXES CONTAINING ($30.500,000.00,MILLION US DOLLARS).
WHICH HE DEPOSITED WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN GHANA FOR SAFE KEEPING. MY FATHER DID NOT DISCLOSE ANY OF THE CONTENT OF THE BOXES TO THE SECURITY COMPANY. TO AVOID THE OFFICIALS FROM RAISING EYE BROWS TO THE FUNDS. PRESENTLY MY MOTHER AND MYSELF ARE HERE IN GHANA TO NOTIFY THE SECURITY COMPANY FOR THE CLAIMS, AND WE ARE STAYING IN THE REFUGEE CAMP.
THEREFORE I WANT YOU TO LECTURE ME ON HOW BEST WE CAN INVEST THIS MONEY, BECAUSE MY FATHER TOLD ME THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO INVEST THIS MONEY IN AFRICA TO AVOID SUSPICIONS, AND DUE TO MARKET INSTABILITY COUPLED WITH ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL INSTABILITY FACING AFRICAN COUNTRIES, THAT IS WHY WE WANT TO INVEST IN ABROAD. FOR YOUR MUTUAL ASSISTANCE, MY MOTHER AND MYSELF HAVE AGREED TO OFFER YOU 25% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE MONEY.
WE HAVE ALL THE VITAL DOCUMENTS COVERING THE DEPOSIT
AND THE OWNERSHIP WHICH I CAN SEND TO YOU THROUGH FAX
ON REQUEST.
NOTE:
I HAVE NEVER DISCLOSED THIS TO ANY PERSON APART
FROM YOU,SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP THIS TRANSACTION AS A TOP
SECRET TO YOURSELF ALONE.WHICH I WILL WANT YOU TO
FORWARD ACROSS TO ME YOUR DIRECT TEL/FAX NUMBER FOR
MORE INFORMATIONS ABOUT THIS TRANSACTION.
I AM WAITING FOR YOUR URGENT AND POSITIVE FEEDBACK.
BEST REGARDS,
Sabater W.Faraday
