Subject: i need your relationship over this please
Attention anticipated partner,
Before I start, I must firstly apologize for this unsolicited proposal to
you.
I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to starting a
relationship, but as time goes on you will realize the need for my action.
Do not consider this hoax, as we have never had past correspondence nor
acquaintance, rather treat as urgent as sounds for it is for our mutual
benefits.
My name is Mr. Lumoh Siyanga and I am the Audit Manager with one of the
prime banks here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire (Name withheld for security
purpose).
I have a business proposal in the tune of US$4,200,000.00 (Four Million Two
Hundred Thousand US Dollars) and after the successful transfer, we shall
share in ratio of 35% for you and 65% for me.
Should it interest you, please indicate so by contacting me immediately so
we can commence all arrangements to enable me give you more information on
the next line of approach to this project.
Please treat this business with utmost confidentiality and send me the
following for onward proceedings.
1 Full names,
2 private phone and fax numbers,
3 current residential address,
4 Date Of Birth and Occupation,
5 State or origin and nationality.
Awaiting your earliest response at sslumoh@gmail.com or
slumoh@indiatimes.com and please endeavour to make this a secret even if you
do not intend going into this deal with me.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Lumoh Siyanga.
