Subject: How are you
From Miss Erica Vara.
I'm very sorry to bother you with my E-mail.But I want you to understand
that I truely need your assistance to this great offer I'm offering you
from the source of my mind.Before anything I want to use this opportunity to
introduce myself.
My name is Miss Erica Vara, I am 23 years old from Liberia,I am the only
daughter of my parents. My father died on Brutal war by the Rebels on the
Renewed Fighting in our country, you can see it in CNN, BBC news bulletins,
and my sick mother at hospital where she was admitted for Cancer treatments,
she also gave up when she heard about the news of the death of my father in
two days time and hospital where she was (General Hospital in morovia the
capital city of my country Liberia),may their gentle soul rest in perfect
peace.
presently I am residing inside refugee camp in Dakar Senegal under UNFPA
charity orgnization as i do not have anybody nor family to take care of
me,please if you can adopt me as your Child or business partner if possible
and manage this money for me.
my father is Directors of Star Energy Group plc. OPEC who deal on crude
oil gold and diamond with other raw material's. The main reason why I am
contacting you now is to seek your assistance in the area of our better
future living and investment of huge sum I have here in my name the sum of
($9.700.000.00) (nine Million seven hundred thousand United State dollars)
my late father deposited for safe keeping under Finance company,which i
will tell you upon your response to me for some security reason for you to
contact them and verify from them, in my name for safe keeping to me. Now at
his death,and because things have become very hard for me taking care of my
needs, so, I wrote to the to the Finance company where this money was
deposited about the deposit and forwarded the document to the after checking
thire file the said that with my refugee status they will not release to me
the fund deposit unless i presented to them some one with better status to
satnd for me for the claim that is the reason i am contacting to help me.
I was shocked when the Manager of the Finance company explained to me that I
will not be able to withdraw from the money because am a refugee,and the
Manager of the Finance company told me to seek for someone that will help
me, in the claim as i am a refugee by status,that is reason why I am
contacting you to stand for me and claim this money on my behalf.If I can
trust you, I will need your assistance in this regard please. I will provide
all necessary documentation of my late father to show the Finance company.
As soon as I hear from you I will send you the Finance company contact
information, so you can contact the Finance company for the transfer of
the money in to your Account. Should you be interested in helping me?
please write back to me.
I hope that we shall discuss how you want remunerated when you get back to
me.For my part, I shall be more than willing to part with 30% of the total
sum to you while 10% will be mapped out for any expenses to receive the
money from the Finance company where this deposited was made by my late
father that is to let you know that you will help me both financially and
with your honest mind to enable me get the necessary documents that would
back this deal.
Yours Truly,
Miss Erica Vara.
