Subject: seeking ur partnership
Dear Friend,
In appreciation of your esteemed contact received through a reliable Source, and the choice of your country I wish to introduce myself; I am Prince William Duke the first son of His Royal Majesty, PEDRO DUKE (LATE) the Mayor ruler of EDINBURGH Province in the oil area of BRITAIN. I am making this contact to you in respect of US $10.5 Million (TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS) which I inherited from my late father. This fund was accumulated from royalties paid to my father as compensation by the oil firms located in our area as a result of oil presence on our city.
Unfortunately my father died from protracted diabetes. But before his death he called my attention and informed me that he lodged some funds with a bank and other documentations were also revealed to me by my late father before his death, he then advised me to look for a reliable business partner abroad, who will assist me in investing the funds in a lucrative business. So this is the main reason why I am contacting you to seek your assistance for us to transfer this funds to your account from the bank in any country of your choice for investment purposes. So I will like you to be the person receiving the money, so that the funds can be transferred to your account in your name and particulars in any country of your choice. Hence my father had intimated the bank personnel that the owner of the money is his foreign partner whose particulars will be forwarded to the bank when due. But I will guide you accordingly. As soon as the fund is transferred into your account, I will then
come over to meet you in person, so that we can discuss physically for the disbursement and Investment details.
Based on this instance I and my family have unanimously decided to give you 30% of the total funds, 2% for charity homes and 3% for expenses, which may arise during the transaction, fax and phone bills inclusive. The balance of 65% you will invest and manage for my family. I hereby guarantee you that this is not government funds, it is not drug funds and it is not funds from arms deal and it has no terrorist origin. I will give you all proof of deposit and existence of funds once fully satisfied with your capability and honesty. I hope this will be the beginning of a prosperous relationship between my family and yours Nevertheless if you are for any reason not interested, kindly inform me immediately so that I will look for another contact.I am waiting for your quick response.
