Subject: I am giving you this information in trust.
Dear Friend,
My name is Lisa,Lisa Tyrer.I am 26
Following the sudden death of my father
Stefan Tyrer who died on 27th August 2006.
I have been thrown into a state of utter
confusion, frustration and hopelessness as the only child.
I have been subjected tophysical and psychological torture by my Uncles,demanding that I show them the will documents of my Father’s fund he left for me.
I have lost confidence with anybody within the country.
And they are not relenting to make me poor for life.
I got your contacts through my personal research, and out of
desperation decided to reach you through this medium. I
will give you more information as to this regard as
soon as you reply. I repose great confidence in you
hence my approach to you due to their monitoring placed
on my day to day affairs I cannot afford to visit the
law so that is why I decided to contact you and
I hope you will not betray my confidence in you.
I have in my possession the sum of 2.560 million dollars with a
finance firm whose name is withheld for now until we open communication.
I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund
into your account for safekeeping. This arrangement
is known to you and me alone,
I am seriously considering to settle down in your country
in a friendly atmosphere like yours as soon as this
fund get into your account so that I can start all
over again if only you wish, but if it is
impossible, just help me in diverting this fund into
your account which will accrue you 30% of this fund.
Please honesty is the watchword in this transaction.
I will require your telephone,and your informations so that
we can commence communication immediately and I will
give you a more detailed picture of things and give you
the information of the firm to reach them and verge for claims.
In case you don’t accept please do not let me out as
I am giving you this information
intotal trust and confidence.
I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal
in good faith.
Please expedite action.
Sincerely yours,
Lisa
