From: DrAlban Moumou <dralban_moumou@yahoo.com>
Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 04:17:01 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: I NEED YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE/
My name Dr,Alban Moumou, a medical Doctor. and the sole proprietor
of the above specialist Hospital.
I understand that through Internet is not the best way to link up
with you because of the confidentiality which the transaction
demands.However, I have already sent you this same letter bypost one
month ago, but I am not sure if it did get to you since I have not
heard from you, hence my resending it again.I have a widow here in my
Clinic who is on a political Asylum in LOME-TOGO WEST AFRICAN Refugee
Camp,she has been so ill for somecouple 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 lifehistory
and about her late husband who was a top military officer in one of
the west African country(Sierra-Leone) before his death during the
civil war and the fortune she inherited from her late husband.
She has asked me to source a credible and trustworthy partner abroad who
will manage her funds for investment, the sum of Twenty Eight Million
POUNDS (£28m) which her late husband deposited in a safe Fiduciary
Agent in Overseas through a Security Company based in LOME TOGO.
I wish to chose 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 all the documents relating to this deposit of which she did,
now I have the documents covering the deposit which I will not
hesitate to fax to you the copies as a prove for your confirmation as
soon as I receive your response via email. I am 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 in
Africa inorder to avoid any trace of her by the government, I will
need from you a mutural understanding and then we shall make plans on
how the funds would be secured into an account in your name, after
which you will arrange and travel immediately to meet with the
security company Agent in oversea for clearing.This amount is
contained in a sealed trunk box and it is registered and declared as
containing family treasures and preciouse items, 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 box, let me assure you that this
transaction is 100% hitch 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.
Thanks and God bless for your understanding,
Best regards,
Dr.Alban Moumou.
