TSUNAMI QUAKE FLOOD IN SOMALIA
Dear Beloved,
My name is Simon A. Beta, I am a victim of the Tsunami quake flood, I came to London some
few days(6th of Dec. 2004) before the quake flood happen (26th Dec. 2004) I got information from sky news while in London that the quake flood killed people in my country Somalia and other
countries, it’s really sad for me cause I spoke with my parents few days before the quake flood, I went back to Africa Somalia, and found out that all my family was gone, my father and mother
was dead left with my only half sister of 8yrs and my step mother as the only survivors in my family, go to this link for more information.

My father was a gold merchant and a top contractor in my country who had made so much money in Gold Business, he has a company in Somalia but all was gone. I saw my father lawyer in Somalia and he gave me all my father documents and testament of my late father and I am the
next of kin to my late father, I found out in the documents that my dad has deposited some money totaling about Eighteen Million US Dollars (US$18m) in a Security Company in South Africa and I contacted the company for the claim of the funds, but was told that my dad registered the funds on express transfer for a foreign investment outside Africa, that I need a foreign partner to help me claim the funds.
Hence, I seek your assistance so that I can claim the funds and I want to contribute part of the funds to the TSUNAMI RELIEF FUNDS.
Meanwhile, I am ready to offer a 15% of the total money to you for your assistance if you can help me. I have returned the documents to my late father lawyer for safe keeping while awaits your reply as soon as you can for the process of the changes in names in the documents. I am currently in South Africa as it is where I was born and brought up while making the arrangement on the transfer of the funds to you.
I am sorry if this did not meet your approval because I know it will be surprise mail to you. Do reply and inform me if you are interested and for more detailed information.
May God bless you and your home.
Thanks.
Simon A. Beta.
