Subject: Attention: Please Signify Your Interest.
Hello,
Compliments.
Forgive this unusual manner of contacting you, but this particular letter is
of exceptional and very private nature. It is personal and confidential.
I have some funds I wish to invest in a viable sector of your economy,
especially in the areas of real estate and agriculture. I would need your
advice and guidance to arrive at a specific aspect, or if both will yield
maximum profit in return, then I will have to go into both.
But firstly, I must state that the funds in question amounts to
USD13.731million (Thirteen Million, Seven Hundred and Thirty One Thousand
United States Dollars) and it emanates from an over-invoiced contract
executed in the Ministry of Works & Housing, where I work as the Director of
Project Implementations. Now, we want to get the funds out of the apex bank
into your provided account within two weeks from now, and a percentage (20%)
will be given to you for your assistance and efforts. I and some other
colleagues have completely mapped out the mode of successful transfer of
these funds. Details of this may be spelt out as soon as you show interest.
In order not to bore you with words, I must state that we already have a
financier who would foot the emanating bill sequel to the successful
transfer of the funds. This will however largely depend on your meeting up
with certain requirements which borders on having an account in a specific
bank in either the U.K or United States.
Trust is definitely the noblest trait in the world, and I urge you to trust
my sincerity and the word of a simple and humble person of faith, who in the
name of love for her equals is willing to accomplish the task of doing
business with a trusted and transparent person. It is up to you to decide
whether this letter deserves your trust and confidentiality. And if indeed
it does, send me the following:
1. Your letter of consent.
2. Your mailing and contact address.
3. Your telephone numbers.
Upon receipt of the above, I shall communicate with you, and let you know
the details of the transfer.
Whatever your actions and your decision, I thank you for taking the time to
read my email.
Best Regards.
Martins Anderson
