Subject: Quakes Victim Assistance
Dear Friend,
Compliment of the day to you. I've been trying your phone but could not get through. I am from
Sri Lanka investor currently on exile in London UK because of the tsunami devastation that
claim over 140, 000 souls within days in my country.
I survived from the Deadly Quakes and ran to London where am currently on exile looking for
where to invest my late husband's funds in a country with a political stability, reliable, dependable
infrastructure and security of life and property. I know you will have pity for my family which has
gone by the deadly quakes that claim even last daughter Anita; I was given your contact address
by Lady Presenter who was on coverage visit to Sri Lanka before my departure to London. She
said that you could assist me on my investment plans in your place with security.
It may interest you to know that I am having $50.5 Million US Dollars ready for investment; this
amount was "willed" to me and children by my late husband JACKSON SILVA who also died
by the wicked quakes recently in my home town Sri Lanka.
I am willing to invest in a company with potentials for growth and stability including your
investment suggestion if your bye- laws allow for foreign investors like me or any other good
and profitable business that you may suggest to me. I will be very happy if this inquiry receives
urgent attention. You should mail your acceptance through the below email box sending to me
your personal or company profile as I will also send to you all required information about myself
including my picture and the help that I need from you about my investment plans.
You can reach me immediately via the below email only, so that I can explain more in details on
how to receive the funds for a mutual business relationship with you. Kindly assist me to forget
the loss of my entire family. My name is currently listed in the survived list in the world database
at http://203.113.86.240/phuket/listbycountry.php.
Thanking you in advance for helping,
