Subject: PLEASE GET BACK TO ME
Greetings And Happy New Year, I am writing you this letter with due respect and heart full of tears, I need your help. I know that this mail must surely come to you as a surprise? Since we have not seen or know each other before. I saw your contact and have decided to get in touch with you after praying, to see if you can help me solve my problem. I am SANDRA WILLIAMS; the only daughter of late Mr and Mrs George Williams Barah. My father was a very rich and wealthy Gold trader in MONROVIA the capital of Liberia in West Africa. I was living with my father but in the year 2005 on 17th of June, I lost my father in the hospital by 9.35 am of that faithful day, but I must tell you the comment of the doctor, who told me that he (my father) was poisoned. But I know that it was my uncle that poisoned my father in order to claim all my father's property. I said this because after my father's death, he turned against me. My mother died when i was a little girl. I ran out of our country to Cote d' Ivoire where my father deposited ($6 million US dollars) in one of the banks here in Cote d' Ivoire, when my uncle started asking me to give him all the documents my father use to deposit his money in Cote d' Ivoire. I ran out of my country to Cote d’ Ivoire where my late father deposited the money with the help of my father’s friend. My father made this money from the sales of Gold. He instructed me when he find out that he will not live long that, I should look for a foreign partner who will help me transfer this money out of Republic of Cote d' Ivoire and invest it for me in a lucrative business. I contacted you to help me transfer this money to your country before this wicked uncle of my will kill me as he kill my father. He is after my life and he want to kill me and collect the documents from me, that is why I’m now hiding my self in one of the church here in Cote d' Ivoire.. I hope you will not betray the trust i have in you? My mind tells me that you are a good person when I saw your contact that is why I contacted you after praying. This money is all my hope in this life, and moreover you will also help me to come over to your country were I will settle down for my life and finish my education while you will invest the money in a lucrative business. Am waiting to hear your positive response. Yours FaithfullySANDRA WILLIAMS
