Subject: URGENT AND IMPORTANT!!!
My dear
friend,
I know
this might come to you as a surprise but, I plead with you to consider this
mail by reading carefully it's Content. My name is Richard Tahir and I come
from the southern part of Sudan Rich with oil. My father Dr. Suleiman Tahir was
murdered by the Sudan people
Liberation army because for accusing them of supplying arms to the Sudan
liberation army who raided Al-Fashir and killed many officers and kidnapped
General Mohamed Bashir Suleiman.
The
death of my father has brought sorrow to my life. But, the only thing I can
live for now is that I as my late father's only child am now an heir and next
of kin to $6.4m united state dollars which my late father deposited with a bank
in Ghana.
Dearest
one I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance to be my foreign partner
and help me in transferring this fund into an account abroad. So that I can
invest this money and continue my education and your advice and suggestions
will be highly appreciated by me. Please permit me to humbly ask these few
questions:
(1)Can
you honestly help me as a Son?
(2)Can I completely trust you?
(3)What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after
the money is in your account?
Please,
consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank
you so much
Sincerely,
Richard
Tahir
