Subject: Have A Lovely Day.
DEAR SIR,
I know this piece of letter may come as a surprise to you, but I pray
that you respond positively to it . my name is Mr . Hassan Abdul from
sierra-leone in west africa( The Diamond People) and i got your email
address contact from our chamber of commerce office here in freeetown,
the state capital. so I decided writing you and to explain some problems
my family is facing as for the moment.So against this backdrop,We were
searching for a dependable, capable and trustworthy foreign partner who
will help us secure a huge sum of money deposited in a security vault(company)
by my father.
Sir, since the sudden death of our father Mr. Mustaphar Abdul,(A DIAMOND MERCHANT)
and the back bone of the family, everything have just changed for us. My late father,was
a financier of the defeated rebel forces due to this development, most of his assets were
confiscated by the present government as i'm writing to you now , our activities are being
monitored by the present government agents . Before the war broke out in our country , he
let me to understand that he , Mr. Mustaphar Abdul( My Father) deposited ($35m) thirty-five
million united states dollars only, in a trunk box as a family treasure with a security vault
(company) in Guinea Conakry for security reasons, even the company did not know that the content
of the box was money just for security reasons,He warned that i should make sure that the money
is used in a proper way before his untimely death,as if he knows what will happen to him.and it is
about one year now since we lost our father, and the family has decided to invest this fund abroad
and myself being the oldest in the family has to take up the whole responsibilities.
So sir , as i am writing to you, i have just recoverved this Certificate Of Deposit which mr.
mustaphar (my father) used in depositing that treasure box in a security company in Guinea conakry
and i am making arrangements on how this treasure box can be transfered to dubai because i was warned
not to invest in africa and according to the Attorney, He said that the best and safest place for the
transaction of this nature is Dubai-U.A.E b/c the country is not only safe but also tax free for investors.
Finally, sir, my aim of writing you is to see if you can come down to dubai and act as the next
of kin to the family treasure, this transaction is 100% risk free on your side and 30% of the total sum
in the treasure box will go to you. i will explain more in details to you if only you can show me your
interest by replying positively to this mail with your Direct telephone number and postal address and you must know that the success of every transaction
is the top secret of the transaction, keep it confidential to yourself.Thanks as i look forward to read your positive reply.
NOTE: Please send your postal address and your Direct telephone number so that i will forward it to the Accredited Attorney who will help us secure all the neccessary approval documents with change of ownership of the consignment to your name as the next of kin the family treasure and on no account should you make known the content of the trunk box to the Attorney b/c his work is just to help us secure the legal documents while the security company is just for safe keeping because both of them(ATTORNEY AND SECURITY COMPANY) were made to understand that the content of the trunk box is costly family valuables like Diamonds and golds worth (US$35m)Thirty-Five Million United states Dollars only.Please this information is very very important more than anything else.
My Regards to your family,
Yours sincerely ,
Mr. HASSAN ABDUL.
ELDEST SON.
