Subject: Hello Dear,
Hello Dear,
Wishing you a pleasant day. How are you and your family,
I hope everyone is doing well, my regards.... With due
respect, trust and humility, I write to you irrespective
of the fact you do not know me, but please do consider
this letter as a request from a brother in dire need of
assistance. I got your contact over the Internet when I
am searching for a reliable and trustworthy individual or
company that can assist me start a new life and invest on
a lucrative business. I am Mr. Raymond C. Hills. I live at
number 46 Abu-Nawas street here in Iraq. I am a native of
Mayaguez in Puerto Rico. I was born and brought up here
in Iraq and have never been in my hometown since I was born.
I am the only surviving child of my family. My Father was a
rich Crude Oil merchant before he was killed by bomb blast
on his way home. I am dispossessed from my rightful civil
liberties.
My father knew that my situation might change when he is no
longer there for me. Before his death, he told me that he escaped
death many times from revolutionaries and his business associate
because of greed and envy. For that reason, he advised that in
no condition I would decide to reside here for the sake of my life.
He told me that he deposited the sum of six million U.S Dollars with
a bank in London, and gave me the document, which he made with
my name as the next of Kin that I must relocate to USA or any part
of Europe or Asia to invest and start a new life.
Please my brother, I am soliciting for your assistance in claiming
and receiving this fund on my behalf. I will like to come over to
you to reside permanently, invest with you and start a good living
without fear. I need your assistance to get back to good living
because I have nothing left; the fund in question is the only hope
I have. If you decide to help me out of this predicament, I will
compensate you handsomely when I arrive to you before any investment.
Finally, I have been in contact with the Bank in London to make
some enquiries on how the transaction would be made. They told me
that the Fund would be transferred to any of my chosen individual.
They asked me to provide the contact information of my beneficiary.
Please if you think you can help me out, reply with Your Full Name
and Telephone number where you can easily be reached. That is the
only information they requested for now. On receiving your response,
I will file in an application to the Bank regarding the claiming
of the Fund in their vault on your behalf as my beneficiary.
Please tell me more about your self, what you do for a living and more
about your area where you live.
Bless you,
Raymond Hills.
