to assist me in this transaction I intend to that this proposal might be
a surprise to you but do consider it as an emergency. In a nut shell, my
name is Mr. Memouna titus, the husband of late Mrs. Patricia Titus from
the Republic of intimate you. My late wife was the managing director of
Rainbow Gold and Diamond Mining Company in (AKUKUMA) Pemba Island. But he
was killed after the long civil war along with our two daughter and all
our properties were totally destroyed.

However, after their death I managed to escape with every important files
of my late wife.
My wife told me about some funds he kept somewhere abroad for investment
as the war in my country was erupting, but not until their death that I
discovered and found in my late wife file some documents which have information
concerning the fortunes he told me about. The information is about a very
huge amount of US$18.6m Dollars which he kept for us. Presently the money
was deposited as family varieties in a security storage company somewhere
in Europe (full information will be disclosed to you later on your confirmation
of your acceptance to assist me)

I wish to invest this money in your country or anywhere safe enough outside
Africa for security and political reasons, and because of the problems in
where I am now in. I want you to help me claim this money from the security
company where it will be transferred into your account for safe keeping,
as I cannot travel out of France now, as I am a refugee seeking for asylum
in France.

If you can be of assistance to me, I will be pleased to offer you 25% of
the fund while 75% will be for me for any viable business under your management
for five years as you may advice me in due course. I look forward to receiving
a favorable response from you. Until then I remain yours sincerely. Stay
blessed.
