Dear friend,
I am well confident of your capability to assist me in a
transaction for mutual benefit of both parties, ie (me and
you) I am also believing that you will not expose or
betray the trust and confidence I am about to establish
with you. I have decided to contact you with greatest
delight and personal respect.
Well, I am Ben A Benson, son to Chief Fidelis Benson late
former Director of finance,Chief Fidelis Benson
Sierra-Leone diamond and mining corporation.
Few days before the death my father, he confided in me and
ordered me to go to his underground safe and move out
immediately, with a Deposit Agreement
and Cash Receipt he made with a security Company in
Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire where he deposited One Iron Box
containing USD$ 22 million dollars cash (TWENTY TWO MILLION
DOLLARS). This money was made from the
sell of Gold and Diamond by my father and he have already
decided to use this money for future investment of the
family.
Thereafter, I rushed down to Abidjan with these two
documents and confirmed the deposit of the fund by my
father. Also, I have been granted political
stay as a Refugee by the Government of Cote d'Ivoire.
Meanwhile, my father have instructed me to look for a
trusted foreigner who can assist me to move out this money
from Cote d'Ivoire immediately for investment.
Based on this , I solicit for your assistance to transfer
this fund into your Account, but I will demand for the
following requirement:
(1) Could you provide for me a safe Bank Account where
this fund will be transferred to in your country or another
nearby country where taxation will not take great toll on
the money ?
(2) Could you be able to introduce me to a profitable
business venture that would not require much technical
expertise in your country where part of this fund will be
invested ?
Please, all these requirements are urgently needed as it
will enable me to establish a stronger business
relationship with you hence I will like you to be the
general overseer of the investment thereafter.
I am a Christian and I will please, want you to handle
this transaction
based on the trust I have established on you.
For your assistance in this transaction, I have decided to
offer you 15% percent commission of the total amount at the
end of this business. The security of this business is
very important to me and as such,I would like
you to keep this business very confidential.If you are
willing to assist me Please kindly reply me immediately. I
shall expect your urgent response
thanks.
Regards,
Ben A Benson
