Subject: I AM WAITING FOR YOUR KIND RESPONS
Attn: Sir/Madam,
How are you and Your Family? Hope Well. That?s Fine. Pardon me, I know you
don?t know me, But this is a Good chance for us to know each other. I am
Seeking your Assistance in a Transaction that Involves my Family's. I have
sent a Total of 3 Mails to you in the 3 Days. I know you must be busy and
you might find it Difficult to reply my Mails, but if you can give me your
Number i can call you a free time. My previous Mails contained Information
about the Assistance I need for you to do for My Family, I am a Widow with
Kids and my brother In-law Robert. We are From Angola, I lost my Husband
there, which is On Reasons I have contacted you. We could no Longer Stay
in Angola due to some reasons beyond our Control.
My Husband a Traditional Ruler, at the Time of His Handing Over the Post
to the Next Man, got Involved in some sort of Mis-understanding that Cost
his Life. We had to leave; it was no longer safe, just for the Future of
My Family. We had to leave for Mauritius to Escape the Pressure and knowing
Fully Well, How hard it was going be for using Another World, An Island in
the Indian Ocean. From here we have been trying to Contact you via the Internet
and its not easy. But i have hope we would get connected to you some day.
From Here we have also managed to radio our Friend and Sympathizers back
in Angola with the Help of Richard my Brother In-law. We managed to get some
Money to start our lives afresh. Most of the Money is From the Land Area
my Husband Had. Some we sold and some we have Precious Stones Mining Sites.
We had to let all that go down the Drain, but we made $25m. Twenty-Five Million
US Dollars for selling out all we hope on, so our only Hope is this Funds
too.
We had to lodge the Funds under the Security of a Security Outfit here in
Mauritius, which is our Present Location; we were making arrangements to
contact for Help, so you can help us in getting this Funds overseas so we
could start a New Life. Please we are Innocent people trying to make a Living.
We need a change of Environment because we have seen the Worst here and For
the Children most especially; I feel they need to relocate.
With the funds we have managed to raise and your Help, I believe you would
be saving our Souls. Please don?t let us waste away. Imagine, what my kids
could be in Future if they could just reach for that Helping Hand which you
could offer. The Banking System in Mauritius has not joined the International
Banking System, where we can Transfer this Funds to our desired destination
accounts overseas. We need someone who we can trust like you on the International
Level, since we haven?t had the Chance to own foreign Accounts. We will pay
for your Services; we will give you a Certain Percentage. I am willing to
give you give you %30 of this fund.
I will be happy if you could serve as our guardian. We live like refugees
here in Mauritius, because its not our home, we pray we can work this out
a quick as possible, so we can eventually have peace. Please its no longer
safe here anymore for me, I don't even know what the future holds for my
kids, they have stopped school for 5 months now. Please try to forward me
a phone number I can reach you so I can give you more details on the exact
role which is required of you for the successfully conclusion of this transactions
I look forward to your earliest response, Please I need your help and I believe
with your help my life and that of my family will be safe. Make sure you
respond back to this email address below: serenaadams@seeqmail.com for
further information about this transaction.
Thank You
Madam Serena Adams
