Subject: Inquiry. For Your Help.
My Dear Friend,
Compliments of the day.I did like to send to you the best wishes of good
health and success in your pursuits particularly through my proposal as
contained in this letter. After due deliberation,I decided to forward to you
this business proposal, i want you to assist me. I will give you more
information. As to this regard as soon as you reply.
I am Mr.Martin Jenkin, I am contacting you with the hope that you will be of
great assistance to me, I currently have within my reach the sum of
7.5million U.S dollars cash which I intend to use for investment purposes. I
therefore personally appeal to you seriously and religiously for your urgent
assistance to move this money into your country where I believe it will be
safe. I flew my country Liberia through the effort of United Nations High
Commission after my parents where killed.
This money came as a result of a payback contract deal between my father and
a Ukraine firm in our country.The Ukraine partners returned my fathers
share. Presently, the Government has intensified their probe in to my
fathers financial resources which has led to the freezing of all his
accounts, local and foreign, the revoking of all his business licences and
the arrest of my elder brother who later died in prison .
In view of this I want to acted very fast to withdraw this money from one of
our finance house before it will be closed down. My father deposited the
money in a finance firm for safe keeping. No record is known about this fund
by the government because there is no documentation showing that he has
such funds.
Due to the current situation in my country and government attitude to my
family, I cannot make use of this money within, thus I seek your help in
transferring this funds out for investment than leaving the fund in the
holding firm and to invest the money to profit my well begin. Bearing in
mind that you may assist me. l have decided to part with 25% of the total
sum.
I am seriously considering to settle down abroad 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. I shall ask you to help in getting my
travelling document ready in order to join you over once the fund have been
in your care. If this proposal satisfies you. please do not let me out to
the security as I am giving you this information in total trust and
confidence.
Please kindly reply by return mail and please include your personal
telephone and fax numbers. Conclusively,i have decided part with 25% of the
total sum, 10% will be for expenses incurred during the cause of this
transaction, while 65% is to be held on trust by you until we can decide on
a suitable business investment in your country subsequent to my free
movement to join you.
I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith.
Your URGENT response is welcome.
Regards and God Bless
Mr.Martin Jenkin.
