Subject: QUEST FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.
Dear Sir,
Pardon my intrusion into your privacy like this,but the
circumstances warrant that I do so.
I am Barrister.Scot Daniel a lawyer/consultant for some African
eminent personels who prefer to remain anonymous.
They have shown proofs to me which I have verified
professionally that their claims are true,sincere and acurate as I
wouldn't want my name and career smeared with mud.;that they have a
certain large sum of money in CASH (USD$45,000,000.00 -
Forty five million USA dollars) stashed away in security and finance
houses in Africa and europe.
My clients are politicians,bussiness men,women and some of
them are in assylum Which explains why they prefer to remain
anonymous.They have requested that I source for a reliable and capable
foreigner to act as their partner who will help claim these funds from
the security company after which it shall be used for investment as
directed by the foreigner(subject to a close study of feasibilty
expected to be supplied).The funds are duely protected professionally
to avoid any unauthorized tamperings or theft.
A total of 22.5% of the total sum has been set aside for
you if you agree to be their partner as well as a 5% which is mapped out
for all expenses which might be incurred in the process of
claiming the funds from the security company.
As a lawyer,I am aware of the various similar propositions
flying about on the internet and I must confess that I was reluctant to
take up this task,but having carried out my investigations
and confirm it is true,I can confidently tell you that this is no scam.
Kindly revert back to me should you wish to be a partner
with 100% assurance that you will not regret your decision.
Awaiting your prompt response.
Sincerely yours,
Mr Scot Daniel
