Subject: Hello Dear Friend,
Hello Dear Friend,
Beloved,My contacting you is based on trust, I hope you will live upto my expectation at the end of this project. I have seen war and I have seenpeace, I have seen riches and I have seen people die of hunger ondaily bases.
I am quite certain that life is vanity upon vanity, the only life worth living is a life of service to humanity and the almighty God, most merciful,most compassionate and most benevolent.This is the reason for my present decision based absolutely hope on God. Actually this medium (Internet)has been greatly abused,I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest and surest medium of communication for us.I feel quite safe dealing with you after having gone through your remarkable profile.
Before I proceed, Let me humbly introduce myself to you, My name is Miss Agnes Johnson 18years old girl,a citizen of Sierra - Leone ,Daughter of late Dr. Mark Johnson, who before his death was the person managing the Sierra - Leone gold and diamond corporation( SGDC ).
I hope you are aware of the war which has ravaged my country for the past years now . It was in one of this attacks by the rebels that led to the death of my Father and my Mother including Two of my Brothers, now am left alone.
I was terrified of the situation and because of this I escaped from Sierra - Leone to Dakar Senegal into a refugee camp but brought along with all vital documents which my late father used in depositing the sum of $85 Million United State Dollars with a prime bank there in Europe.
Why l am telling you this becuase of the nature of my status l cannot be able to do this because l am living here now as a refugee and there is nothing left for me here i don,t even have an international pasport with me here,that is the reason why l am telling you this in other to assist me in retrieving this money out of the bank and possible using the money for investment and also to enable me move out of this place and to see that l finish up my education which is very important for me.
I will like to tell you that l have made several contacts with the bank for the details and all was right. The fact that l believe we have a lot of enemies and some of them l believe arranged to the death of my father so when you retrive this money out of the bank l will not like the money to come back to this place africa untill l finish up my education.you will open an account for me there in your country and keep the whole money into the account then i will come over there and stay with you or you can buy a good aparment for me over there.
Please i am telling you this in confidence and i will like you to keep this very secret by yourself because this is something that have to do with my future,it will be of a mutal benefit between us. I have decided to take such step to retrieve this money based on the suffering that i am undertaking here as refugees.Please i want you to be honest with me don,t be cheating on me in anyway and believe me God will never let you down as you bring out all your heart to help me and i want to assure you that i will respect you and be under you hence you acept to help me out.
Your positive response will give me the greatest joy and relief. You will help me to invest wisely in areas you deem lucrative and finally obtain a residential permit for me to stay comfortable in your country.I cannot go back to Sierra- Leone because of the situation there and you know that Senegal where i am now is politically unstable; I therefore wish you could help me get out of here before it become worse.May great God bless you for your kind assistance I have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum.
