URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE( Strictly Confidential )
Dear Sir,
Please let not this messge come to you as a surprise. As a matter of fact, I
came across your address via my intensive search on internet for a reliable
and God fearing person that can assist my family. I believe and have
confidence that you can assist me in handling this transaction if you are
willing and sincere to cooperate with us.
I am a native of LIBERIA and also a wife to Major RUFUS ADAMS, a top
LIBERIAN rebel soldier,during the political crises in my country. My husband
flew to Johanesburg,South Africa with me and my son as a refugee where we
are now residing, but most unfortunately for me, my husband died of heart
attack three months later living only me and my son.
As a result of my husbands failing health before his death he confided to
me as the wife about the existence of the (US$ 15.5 Million) FIFTHEEN
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS. which he secretly
lodged in a Security Company, which also has its affiliated branches in some
part of the world .
I observed from my husband that he made this money from the huge amount
mapped out by the rebel groups for the importation of ammunitions from South
Africa and Yugoslavia to kill and maim more innocent people and children
,all in bid to win the war. as top soldiers, they were able to divert the
fund for their personal use, with a very good security trust company before
we ran out of our country, and this funds has no trace as the war has
stopped with a new Government in the country.
As a matter of fact, my husband before his death instructed me to seek in
confidence a God fearing and reliable foreigner who will come down without
delay to assist me to move the fund out from the Security Company and
transfer it to the persons foreign bank account for safe keeping and
immediate future foreign investment and now, because I believe that you
could be reliable and trustworthy,I am soliciting for your help and
cooperation to execute this business with me by visiting the Security
Company soonest to help me clear the fund from the Security Company as the
foreign beneficiary and to provide any foreign bank account of your choice
where the fund will be
transferred.
Your assistance as a foreigner is highly needed because the management of
the Security Company is ready to welcome any foreigner who has correct
information and documents of the fund which I will give to you, if you are
ready to work with me, I will offer you 20% of the total sum for helping me
to move the fund from the Security Company into your account.5% will be
mapped out for any expenses both parties might incur during the transaction.
Be assured that this business is risk free and there will never be any
problem of any kind as long as we hanle this with mutual understanding and
cooperation. remember also to include your Company's Name, Your Private
Telephone and Fax Numbers for faster communication.
More details will be furnished to you on receipt of your reply and remember
that this business require absolute confidentiality.
Thanks And GOD Bless you as you treat this matter with due respect.
I remain yours very Sincerely,
