My Dearest beloveth ,
It is with heart full of pity that i seek for your foreign assiatnce to one Madam Elizabeth Muluzu.I have a promising proposal, which I know might interest you. My name is Dr. Daniel Odede ,a medical doctor attached to United Nations Refugee Camp. This is a compelling story, and I beg you to be patient and read through to the end.
I have a widow here in the refugee camp who is on a political asylum in Free Town Sierra Leone Refugee Camp, she has been so ill for some couple of months now. This woman confided in me based on the free medical attention I have been giving to her and her children.She had revealed to me of her life history and about her late husband who was a top military officer in (Sierra-Leone) before his death during the civil war and the fortune she inherited from her late husband. Her late husband's family are searching for madam Elizabeth Muluzu so that they will take her life to enable them forcefully claim all that her late husband left behind for her and her little children.I pray it shall never be well with them.
For this reason, she has asked me to source for a credible and trustworthy foreign partner abroad who will come and claim out the deposited
box because he (madam's late husband) deposited the box as a belonging to his foreign business partner whose name was not mentioned for security
reasons and for you to manage her funds, the total sum of Ten million, five hundred thousand US Dollars (US$10,500,000.00 million), which her
late husband deposited in a safeFiduciary Agent based in Abroad.I wish to choose you for this venture and I believe you will be in the
position to assist in managing this large sum in a profitable venture and also to help create a safe heaven for her and her children by making
a residence arrangement for them in your country.After she had disclosed this information to me, I saw the reason to request from her to allow me see the documents relating to this deposit of which she did,now I have the documents covering the deposit which I will not hesitate to send to you the copies as a prove for your confirmation as soon as I receive your response via email.You are obliged to assist this lady knowing too well that she has a
limited knowledge in the business world and as such she can not manage this funds herself. And in Africa in order to avoid any trace of her late
husband's family relations who are after her life, I will need from you an honest,kind,and mutual understanding to help madam Elizabeth Muluzu,after which you will arrange and travel immediately to meet with the security company Agent for clearing out of the box.
This amount is contained in a sealed trunk box and it is registered and declared as containing family treasures, so even as I am writing you now the security company and it's Agent is not aware that there is cash money in the trunk. Let me assure you that this transaction is 100% hitch - free and risk –free. From my discussion with her, she has agreed to give you a reasonable amount of percentage for your involvement in this and this has to be discussed upon the receipt of your quick response.Looking forward to your urgent reply,And please know that this transaction is very confidential,so please do not disclose it to anybody.Thanks and God bless for your understanding,
Sincere regards,
Dr.Daniel Odede
