DEAR GOOD FRIEND.
Iam contacting you today for a profitable business prosposal. My
name is PAUL RISY Iam the personal assistant to late Mr.muhammad
El-Sahedi. EL-Sahedi was an oil merchant from Iran but resident in Nigeria. He
carried on his oil and petroleum transactions from Nigeria but exported
to oversaes. EL-Sahedi died recently in Iran as a result of the
earthquake that hit that country.He died along with his whole Family.
Apart from being his personal assistant Iwas also his best Friend
and confident.I was therefore in a position to know all his Financial
transactions as he trusted me . Mr.Sahedi had a deposit of usd$40.5
million with a famous security and finance company here which i want you to
help me receive and transfer into your bank account . Till i come over
to join you for sharing and investment as you may direct me.
IF you agree to assist me ,I WILL GIVE YOU all the details of the
transaction and the process of receiving the funds because you will
act as the next of kin to MR.SAHEDI.for assisting me in this business
you will take 20% of THE USD$40.5 MILLION.as your share and I will take
70% as my share while the remaining 10% will take care of the expenses
we may insure at the process of the transaction.
You will keep my share for me till I join you in your country a
few weeks after the transfer is made.
I want you to understand that I am not a dishonest Man. I am only
doing this because if the security company discovers that Mr. Sahedi
and all his relations are dead ,they will turn over the money to
government and this will not help me. please note that there is no risk in
this business as no relation of Mr. Sahedi is alive today and the
security firm does not know he is dead. When you transfer the money the
security firm will assume it is Mr. Sahedis next of kin who is doing the
transer because I will provide you with his letters of administration to
empower you as his next of kin.
It was when I lEARNT OF his death that I went to his room to search for
the paper work [Documents] relating to the said deposit. I Found them
in concealed [secret] drawer in his bedroom.
please reply this message soonest .my alternative email address as follows,paulrisy3@aemail4u.com
Yours sincerely
PAUL RISY.
