Subject: Greetings
Good day Friend,
How are you hope you are fine, how is your family I hope
they are fine too? I wanted to discuss something with you,its really bothering me.I know you will be suprise how I got your email address,but dont be suprise I got it while I was browsing the internet also I know this will sound some-how strange to you because we have not met phisically before.But I promise to be nice. My Name is Mrs Lolly Richards, daugther Of late Mr Chico Richards.
I am about to tell you something that I have not
discuss with anyone excluding my lawyer. My father was a big time farmer in South Africa, he uses most of South Africa lands for farming. The Government in South Africa gave him those lands for farming and he will pay back when he have the money,it was like a loan they gave him the lands as loan .My father was very successfull In the farming business and he paid the Government back their money. Some top officials In the Government were Jealous because of his wealth. They wanted him to Join them carry out a dubious deal against the Government but he refuse ,so they plan to kill him and claim all hiswealth he has suffered for in South Africa. During the current crises against the farmers of South Africa by the supporters of Senator Robert Gatun to claim the farms in our country, he ordered all the farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers.
My father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the Senator political ideology, the Senator's supporters invaded my fathers farm burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments. But before they killed him he saw It coming and transfer most of his fund to a Security company In Holland. He died in the hospital, But before he died he gave me the contact Information to the Security company which the fund was deposited.
Those people were looking for me and my family and
we ran outside of South Africa for safety because they know we know were my father funds are lying. I contacted the Security company yesterday on how I could collect the funds with my lawyer assistance and they told me that I need a foreign beneficiary outside Africa because of Security reasons. And I dont have anyone outside Africa that will stand for me as a beneficiarry.They said the money was too big ($20M)My father never told me the amount of the money I was so shocked. They also said that the funds has been deposited there for about two years now and it has accumulated demurrage which we must pay before the consignmentwill be released.
My lawyer told me to look for a beneficiarry.That is my problem now,the family Is willing to give you $7m ,if you will help the family.Please If you can help me and my family In anyway I will appreciate It alot and in paying the demurrage fee. please contact me through my private address, feel free to reply me to this e-mail address I have given you below:
( lollyric@mymail.ph.inter.net )
GodBless you.
N.B Any amount of money the both of us spend In clearing the consignment I will pay you In double after we have cleared the consignment. Have a nice day.
Thank you,
Mrs Lolly Richards.
For The Family.
