Subject: partnership
Good day to you.
I am Tan Seng Chew, a staff of the United Nations (UN), I know that
this
mail will be of great surprise to you. I got your e-mail address from
the
Internet as I was soliciting for a partner who will work with us.
Please, do
not see this mail as one of those stories from some Africans of which I
have
received such too.
In recent time, there have been conflicts in many parts of the world
especially in the Middle East, which has been of top concern to the
United
Nations. I happen to be one of the official assigned to Iraq and I also
played a great part in seeing that Afghanistan is been rebuilt and
those
casualties, especially children are well taken care of. During this
period,
my partners and I were able to secure some amount of money amounting to
Thirty Million United State Dollars ($30M), which was moved to Europe.
Moving this fund was easy because of the connections my partners had.
Now
that things have settled, we want to move the money out of the deposit
company where it is deposited.
We are contacting you to work with us because we are civil servants and
cannot do it alone. The presence and participation of a neutral person
is
needed to achieve this transaction hence my contacting you. Note that
all
the relevant documents will be in place for this transaction to be
hitch
free. For your participation, you will be getting 20% of the total sum.
This transaction will take not more than fourteen (14) banking/working
days
to be finalized from the day of commencement. Treat with to secrecy, as
we
will not want a blackmail or media scandal. You are the only person I
contacted for this transaction and will hope to get your reply ASAP for
further correspondence via my Private email ID
Yours faithfully,
Tan Seng Chew.
