Subject: Thanks for your mail.
My Dear Madras House
First let me start by thanking you for your positive response, kindness and
your willingness to help me and my family out of this predicament. I and my
son have resolved to move this money to an account that will be nominated by
you outside the shores of South Africa for investment purposes.
My dear to be more open with you, choosing you for this transaction is not
that easy, I underwent several fasting and I prayed for God’s directions as
to know the calibre and kind of person that will assist me and my family in
this issue with open minded and good heart, because as you are aware some
people become dangerous minded and greedy when money is entrusted in their
hand and you know this money is the only hope of my family.
Therefore it is my pleasure writing this mail to you with more explanations
as I or my son will try to call you for more discussions , although the
points of discussion will be as listed below:
1) First , you might be required to come here for the opening of a
non-resident international dollar bank account through which the fund can be
transferred from , to your yet to be nominated bank account in your
country after all the approvals and documentations in your name and favor
as the
foreign beneficiary .
2) Secondly if you cannot be able to come here then I can contact a bank’s
resident and accredited attorney who can be able to assist us in carrying
out the transaction on your behalf in your absence here.
But please bear in mind that the most important thing to us is on the
security and safety of the fund when transferred to your bank account in
your country before my son’s arrival to join you hence I need from you is
trust , sincerity and the ability to handle this transaction confidentially
, so you must assure me that you will not try to cheat me or to sit on top
of the money after the transfer .
Your ability to handle this transaction and also to assist in the fund
management after the transfer will also be a greater advantage , that is in
the investment of the fund in a good business venture . Your good advise ,
suggestions and positive ideas will be highly appreciated so that I will
know what next to do .
May the goodness of God guide and be with us as we progress with this
transaction .
Thanks and God bless while I await for your response .
Mrs Amed
