Subject: FROM MRS.BAILEE JOHNSON
Dearest One,
My name is Mrs. Bailee Johnson. It is my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I and my son intend to establish in your country. Though I have not met with you before but I believe one has to risk in confiding before success sometimes in life.
There is this huge amount of ($25,500,000.00) milion dollas which my
late husband deposited in a bank here in ivoire cost west africa before he was assasinated by unknown persons. Now I and my son decided to invest these money in your country or anywhere safe enough outside Africa for security and safety. We want you to help us transfer it into your personal account in your
country for a good reliable bussiness investment and complition of my
son's education.
If you can be of an assistance to us we will be pleased to offer to you
20% Of the total fund.
Respectfully yours,
Mrs Bailee Johnson
