Attn:
I am Miss Sandra Wise a Law student of University of Newcastle,England.I am
compelled to contact you concerning a business deal, which I believe will be
beneficial to you and me. My late father,Mr.William Wise was a career
diplomat.While In office, he was highly connected because of his expertise
in transfering money to coded accounts for important Clients at short
notices and without detection. Due to his connections in high places, at the
end of his tenure as an international diplomat, he became acquainted with
important European and African leaders, politicians etc. who patronized him
to help them transfer money round the world and this he did with relative
ease. I was quite close to him and was privy to his business deals because
he used to intimate me.I was also aware of his numerous trips to Europe and
the America to make large cash deposits in several Banks.
Recently,my father came to London en route Liechtenstein to make large cash
deposits for one of his clients. We met on July 6th, 2005 at his hotel room
and on July 7th, 2005 I learnt that he was one of the victims of the London
Underground Terrorist attack in Circle Line train at Edgeware Road that
killed about 52 people and left many wounded at rush hour.After the recovery
of his body, I and my other siblings were making arrangements for his burial
when on August,2005, one of the Embassy’s staff contacted me and informed
me that my late father had deposited some boxes in the storage House of
which my name was submitted as the Next of Kin and the sole signatory for
the release of the boxes.He also informed me that now that my father was
dead,he has to hand the boxes over to me.
Upon inspecting the boxes, I opened it and to my surprise,it contains large
sum of money to the Value of US$24 Million US Dollars. I quickly closed the
boxes and left it there as the embassy storage house did not know what is
the content in the boxes and also to bid time before i will do anything so
that the storm of the terrorist attack would fizzle out before i take
possesion or institute authorization.Due to my status here as a student,i
cannot be able to act with the funds or transfer to my student's account due
to the huge amount of money involved,hence my decision to seek your help to
help me move this funds from the shores of this country to somewhere else
due to the very high tax and financial scrutiny and monitoring here and
probably invest it there on our behalf.We have devised an alternative way to
accomplish this which upon your response,i shall intimate you more about.I
wish to assure you that this business is 100% risk free and i would like you
to assume the beneficiary status of the funds on our behalf before the
transfer would ensue.For your assistance,i will offer you 20% of the total
sum.
Do contact me on the above universal satellite telephone and fax number or
on my private e-mail for further correspondence.
I eagerly await your urgent response.
Yours truly,
Sandra Wise
