Subject: Diane Abbott
Dear Friend,
I am Diane Abbott. Elected to the House of Commons when I was elected in the 1987 General Election; representing the London Constituency of Hackney North and Stoke Newington, I was Britain's first Black woman MP. Under Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth here in UK , served on the Treasury Select Committee of the House of Commons which is a committee that deals with business and finance matters.
I got your contact info in your country’s national directory. Now, kindly allow me introduce a project that has to do with charity in your country and neighbouring countries around you.
What is your opinion to an offer to receive charity investment funds in cash?
The said funds amount to Fourteen Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars (US) which will be made available to you, in this same state. The funds are strictly intended for the purpose of the rehabilitation of charity organizations in your country, through you but will be initiated and supervised by my lawyer.
This transaction will result to you being paid a commission of 15% of the investment capital and the balance, distributed to charity organizations of your choice or reinvested and the net income, used for rehabilitating charity organization in and around your country through your agency annually for the period of five years or a little more.
You must understand that I desire absolute confidentiality and professionalism in the handling of this project. For security reasons as regards my reputation, I will not be able to communicate regularly with you; but my lawyer will take up the processing on my behalf and get these funds processed and released to you without any delay.
I don’t plan on benefiting anything from this project, but will be absolutely fulfilled, if and only if you will remain sincere to me on the handling of this project with utmost sincerity and confidentiality; and eventually utilize the funds for the purpose which I have explained to you above.
Please respond urgently if you are interested, so I can equip you with the necessary details, along side my attorney’s contact information, so as to commence the transaction properly; on the other hand, if you are not, please let your intentions be known or better still, Kindly relent from replying this email.
You could get personal info. on me via the Parliament sites or on my official website, but do not try to contact me via any personal information you may lay your hands upon on the internet as almost all my contact info are connected to the British House of Parliament data base except the ones I personally sent to you; as I don’t want our effort, jeopardized.
If you receive a version of this email, which claims to be from Diane Abbott and may mention a "charitable" or "profitable project", ignore immediately as it is not from me nor anyone connected to me.
Kindly send your response to this E-mail:dianeabbot002@yahoo.ie
Any message you receive in my name without this email address is not from me.
Sincerely.
Diane Abbott MP
House of Commons
London
SW1A 0AA London SE37 88AQ
