Subject: Attention needed!
Dear,
Many thanks to you specifically about a true life story I am about to explain to you. I am the first issue of my parents, with my two other lovely sisters. My grandfather of the blessed memory was the former paramount chief of the Kono district in the federal republic of Sierra Leone. He was popularly known as Mr. Morgan EL Chaw. My own father was a soldier but died on a sick bed sustaining a fatal injury in his spinal cord which he got from the rebels when they attacked our house on that faithful day. Just few months ago when I and my sisters went home for his memorial anniversary, I recovered the documents pertaining the AU metals and where it was kept . I mean the security home where it was deposited, and I have also verified and confirmed the availability of this treasure in this honorable company.
It is of good quantity and quality. I happened to present to them ( the security company) the relevant documents proving my rightful ownership of this items as the beneficiary. The quantity is six hundred and forty kilos (640 kg ). Sincerely , I will like to sell my au metals to you or any reliable person that you can come through your commendation,i will sell to you below the world market price, at $3,500.00 per kilo. This I’m doing only because I want to relocate with my sisters to Canada or any other european country for a better life but basically for them to further their education there. I want to assure you that my business is 100% risk free and you need not nurture any fear about this as I will present to you with all the necessary and complete papers concerning the authenticity and genuinty of my legitimate ownership of this goods.
Upon the receipt of my confidential information, please reply and indicate your questions for more clarity, as I will surely feed you every needed facts. Please give me your phone and fax numbers for more easier communication. I believe this is going to be a gateway to a new relationship in business. Thanks as I anticipate your positive response.
Yours truly,
Pascale Morgan
