#18, MATIO FARY,
MEDINA.DAKAR, SENEGAL..
GREETING IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD.
Compliments of the season.I did like to send to you the best wishes of good health and success in your pursuits particularly through my proposal as contained in this letter. After due deliberation with my son,I decided to forward to you this business proposal, we want you to assist us .I will give you more information. As to this regard as soon as you reply.
I am Mrs. Asta Diouf, 34yr old Senegaliase. I am contacting you with the hope that you will be of great assistance to me, I currently have within my reach the sum of 6.8 million U.S dollars cash which I intend to use for investment purposes.I therefore personally appeal to you seriously and religiously for your urgent assistance to move this money in to your country where I believe it will be safe since I cannot leave the country due to the restriction of movement imposed on the members of my family by the Senegal Government.
This money came as a result of a payback contract deal between my husband and a Russian firm in our country.The Russian partners returned my husbands share .Presently, the new civilian Government has intensified their probe in to my husbands financial resources which has led to the freezing of all our accounts, local and foreign, the revoking of all our business lincences and the arrest of my First son.
In view of this I want to acted very fast to withdraw this money from one of our finance houses before it will be closed down.My husband deposited the money in a finance firm here in senegal for safe keeping . No record is known about this fund by the government because there is no documentation showing that we have such funds.
I cannot make use of this money within, thus I seek your help in transferring this funds out for investment than leaving the fund here and to invest the money to profit my family Bearing in mind that you may assist me. I am seriously considering to settle down abroad in a friendly atmosphere like yours as soon as this fund get into your account so that I can start all over again if only you wish. If this proposal satisfies you. please do not let me out to the security as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence.
Please kindly reply by return mail and please include your personal telephone numbers. Conclusively, i have maped out 20% of the total sum for your compensation and 5% will be for expenses you may incurre during the cause of this transaction, while 75% is to be held on trust by you until we can decide on a suitable business in your country when i come over with my little son.
I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal. Thanks.
Regards from.
Mrs Asta.
