Subject: HELLO
Hello dear,
how are u doing hope great?
Thought i have not considered this medium to be the best manner to have approached you on this issue being that the
internet has been greatly abused over the recent years and is very unsecured for
informations of vital importance. I have decided to take the chance seeing that no other
means could have been faster and more efficient than the E-mail.I write to you irrespective of the fact you do not know me,but please do consider this letter as a
request from a sister in dire need of assistance.
My name is Favour Gbenge the daughter of Jonathan Gbenge the formal Director
of Kembi gold mining company in my country during the regime of late
national Military head of state Sierra Leone.My father died two months ago
under detention by the present GOVERNMENT of our country but before his
death he has instructed me and my aged mother to leave our country and set
up business somewhere in overseas with $4.7 milion usd which he deposited
in Security & finance company here in Senegal with my name's as the next of kin
or benefactor of the deposit.
I am residing under political Assylum with my aged mother here in Senegal
where we ran for our safty,It is on this note that I am seeking your help
to re-locate our fund to the country were you are staying with your help for investment purposes.
Your function is to facilitate this transfer of the fund to your
position successfully as you will soon establish direct contact with the
finance company where this deposit is being kept for safe keeping.
Waiting to hearing from you so that we can execute the transfer
immediately.As soon as you have accepted to be my family partner I shall procceed with
the nacessary documentation.I have decided to offer u 20% of the total sum involved.
Do have a nice day and keep me posted
Yours Truly,
Favour
