Dear Friend,
Greetings!
Do accept my apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics,
I want to introduce myself.
I am Mr. Jim Williams from Botswana; I live here in South Africa with my
Mother Mrs. Vivian Williams However, we write to seek your cooperation to
retrieve our money that is now in the custody of the diplomat who brought it
there in Madrid Spain after Mr. Thomas Jake disappointed us out of greed
as we initially agreed to compensate him with 30% of the total sum of the
money ($15M USD) but, on the arrival of the diplomat there he refused our
initial agreement and demands 60% of the total sum.
Moreover, if you can assist to participate and retrieve this money from the
diplomat as he does not know the content of the consignment, we will be very
happy to compensate you with 30% of the total sum. This transaction is 100%
risk free.
Furthermore, we will give you the contact details of the diplomat there in
Madrid Spain, as he arrived yesterday, so that you can contact with him,
and then take delivery of the consignment. Consequently, we need an
experienced person like you to assist us set up, develop our project as we
intend to invest in building a tourist hotel, real estate development and on
agriculture, on resumption of this project, you will be our director for the
role and assistance you rendered, and you will also be entitled to a
percentage agreed upon from the investment.
We will be very glad if you will take into consideration our urgent plea and
respond as soon as possible.
