Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU WITH THIS?
Attn Pls,
Please this business proposal is strictly confidentiaL
with due respect. Sorry at this perceived confusion or
stress as you may have received this letter, since we
have not known or met ourselves previously.
Despite that reason, please save me from this
situation as I hope that this letter will not
constitute an embarrassment to you.I decided to
contact you because of the urgency of my situation
here and with this, let me introduce myself.my name is
JIM HARRESON (26 yrs old.), The first SON of the Late
Sierra Leonean Businessman,late MR.JOHN HARRESON who
died during the Sierra Leone civil disturbances. I am
constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment
I received from my uncles. They planned to take away
all my Fathers treasury and properties away from me
since the unexpected death of my Father.
Meanwhile I wanted to escape to the United States but
they conspired together and stole my international
passport and other valuable travelling documents. But
luckly for me they did not discover where I hide my
Fathers documents file where important documents
are kept, So I decided to contact you confidentially.
They have even closed all my Fathers bank accounts
just to put me into suffery and starvation. Now I
urgently need an assistance of a reputable and
trustworthy Foreigner like you to help me receive and
subsequently invest on my behalf the sum of
US$10.5.000.000(TEN.FIVE MILLION DOLLARS), which my Father
kept in a vault in FINANCE HOUSE IN EUROPE before his
death. It therefore became very necessary and urgent that
somebody in your foreign position should render a
helping hand to safe-guard this fund for me in safe
haven over there until my arrival in your country. It
is my intention to compensate you with 10% of the
total money for your assistance while 5% will be kept
aside for any miscellaneous expenses incurred by both
of us and balance kept for any profitable investment
anywhere in overseas as you may advice me.
Today I'am in here in COTONOU with my junior brother
to search for a trusted individual or foreign firm whom can help me
to invest this money in a very profitable business in
overseas as I have all the relevant Documents backing
this money here in COTONOU it will be faxed to you upon
your reqeust.your able assistance is as soon as this money comes in
your position you will look for a profitable business
which we will invest this money into .However I have
contacted you based on your capability and knowledge
in international business investement.
In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an
urgent message indicating your ability and willingness
to handle this transaction sincerely. I will need your
private phone and fax numbers for easy and urgent
communications. This transaction will only take 14days (two weeks) to
finalise if you will understand and co-operate with
me.Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Thanking
you in advance for your understanding and
co-operation.
Yours Sincerely,
Jim Harreson
