Subject: The truth you need from me
Dear Friend,
This mail correspondence may come to you as a surprise
due to the fact that we have not met, I know that this is an unlikely
platform to start this kind of relationship but I am constrained by the
present situation of my family and I request you to permit me to use
this medium to introduce myself.
I am Nelson Orson a Liberian by
Nationality, and my father was the personal aide on domestic affairs to
our former president, Mr.Charles Taylor. I am currently in Accra Ghana
and would need your co-operation in moving out 150kg of Alluvial Gold
Dust with USD 6.5million from here for investments in your country. For
your help, I will be happy to share the funds with you according to an
agreed percentage.Please indicate your interest in working with me and
contact me with your full details.
If I do not hear from you in 7
days, i shall consider it that you are not favorably disposed to accept
my offer.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Dr.Nelson
Orson
