Dear Sir,
THIS IS PRIVATE
I am writing to seek for your noble and professional
assistance in investing the fund our late parents
left behind. By introduction,I am Arthur Diop the
first Son of late chief and Mrs Donald Diop. My late
father was a well known gold merchant dealer in the
whole West-African Sub-region before he died. After
his return on a business trip from Ghana he was attacked
with my mother by unknown assassins where my mother died
instantly while my father was rushed to the hospital and later died
after some days.(May their souls rest in peace)
Before my father died in the hospital he disclosed to
me about the sum of (USD$25,000.000.00)he deposited in
a private security company here. he instructed me to
invest it overseas with a trustworthy person / company
for our future life in case if he dies. This is my
reason for contacting you to know if you can render me
a good assistance in which the money can be retrieved
from the security company vault, and invest in your
country. Please I am appealing to you to assist us
hence we have it in mind to establish a rewarding
relationship with you by giving you 10% of the total
sum.
Because of this programme, I and my brother is right
now in Benin, though unemployed. We have visited the
security company with all the related documents issued
to our late father by the security company, they are
alright. And please do include your phone and fax
numbers for easy communication and to enable me send
you the documents in due time. Note that immediately
the money is retrieved, you will then make an
arrangement for our coming over to meet you for the
investment.
On confirmation of your interest to assist us - all
the documents which were issued to our late father by
the security company on the day he made the deposit
will be sent to you for your verification.
Write me on this email address for security
reasons:artdp@accountant.com
Looking forward to receiving your positive response.
Thanks and God bless
Arthur Diop.
