Dearest,
I am writing this mail to you with tears and sorrow from my heart. My name is Dominic Deng (Jr), 24yrs old, Male and I held from Sudan. My father Late Mr. Dominic Dim Deng was the former Defence Minister of South Sudan for Decentralization. My father and my mother including other top Military officers and top government officials had been on board when the plane crashed on Friday May 02, 2008.

After the burial of my father, my uncle conspired and sold my father's properties to one Chinese Expatriate and live nothing for me. One faithful morning, I opened my father's briefcase and found out the documents which he has deposited huge amount of money with one Financial Firm in London with my name as the next of kin. I traveled to London to withdraw the money so that I can start a better life and take care of myself, but On my arrival, the manager of the Firm whom I met in person told me that my father's instruction to the Firm was that the money should be release to me only when I am 28yrs old or present a foreign trustee who will help me and invest the money in a good investment overseas.
I am in search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and stand as my foreign trustee so that I will present him to the Firm for transfer of the money to his bank account overseas. I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust. But rather take me as your own son. Though you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without knowing you, well, I will say that my mind convinced me that you may be the true person to help me. More, so I will like to disclose much to you if you can help me retrieve this money and relocate to your country because my uncle has threatened to assassinate me. The amount is $14 Million and I have confirmed from the Firm in London. You will also help me to invest the money in a more profitable business venture in your Country, help me by recommending a nice University in your country so that I can complete my studies. It is my intention to compensate you with 30% of
the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment. As soon as I receive your interest in helping me, I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely and please do keep this only to your self. I beg you not to disclose it till l come over because I am afraid of my weaked uncle who has threatened to kill me.
Sincerely yours,
Dominic Deng. Jr
