Atten:C.E.O/MD,
With due respect, trust and humility, do i write you this proposal, which I believe would be of great interest to you. I find your contact while I was doing private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist my Family and me. And that's why I contacted you.
My name is Philip. Nyerere, from Tanzania. I am the son of the Late President of Tanzania JULIUS MWALIMU NYERERE, who died about getting to four year ago. Having been president for years, he used his position then to make for himself and us some fortune. And after a protracted illness and he died. I was forced to return home for the funeral. His attorney notified me and my family about my father's "Will" with his chambers.
When I was going through the "Will", I discovered that my late father had used his position then to make some money, which he brilliantly transferred and deposited itwith a private Security Company here in LOME TOGO He deposited this consignment as valuables. The Security Company does not know that this consignment contains cash...!!! money, except the attorney and my family. The amount is Thirty Five Million United States Dollars (USD 35. MILLION).
However, my aim of contacting you is to assist us in looking for a profitable investment overseas since we don't have no knowledge of international investments.
As a result of our present situation, I won't be able to conclude this transaction alone. If you are interested in helping me out, try to indicate your interest in helping me, not forgetting to include your private phone and fax numbers as well as your cellphone number (if you have) for easier communication. I will then call you in furnish you with more details and futher clearifications.
We have mutually agreed to compensate you with 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% for expenses in the course of the transaction. Then the remaining 75% will remain for my family and me, which you will help us invest. Be informed that this transaction needs utmost trust and confidentiality.
Note also that the transaction attracts no risk on your side hence all the modalities for safe, smooth and successful transaction have been arranged by me. Looking forward to receiving your urgent reply.
My warm regard
Philip D.. Nyerere,
