Subject: DEAR FRIEND
To Whom It May Concern!
First of all, I have to start by introducing my self to you:
Lizzy Donalds. my dad is from uk while my mom is from africa. right now, im
presently based in nigeria which is my mom's country. I am a super model,
singer and a renowned actress. I am presently based nigeria. I am 26 years
old single and ready to settle. I have featured in so many movies in South
nigeria which is my country of origin. Do writing you this email to seek for
a reliable and God fearing person whom I can trust with all my life. To
handle my whole life treasure to him temporarily. I have stopped acting at
the moment because I have a problem with my producer in court. And that is
why I need a reliable person to support me in resolving this problem. Now,
listen to the story:
I did 2 films in London late last year and I was supposed to be paid 8
million us dollars. But after the film, my producer paid 6 million us
dollars into my account and gave me a flimsy excuse that the films did not
make much sales. So, I took him to court and for over three months, the case
was in court. And to God be the glory, the case just ended to my favor on
March 29th 2005. But after I have spent all I have to see that I really won
the case. Now, I want to settle down and I want to go back for my master
degree in any good and calm country where I can stay and live my life
peacefully for ever. And probably continue my job there. But, the only
problem is to get a trust-worthy person. So, if you know you are God fearing
and you can assist me in keeping this money in your account and assist me in
the process of the necessary things to be done in order to transfer the
money to your account and you help me keep it while I come to your country,
to meet with you and settle down there. And if you can keep the money safe
for me, when I come over there, I will give you 15 percent of the money.
10% for helping me to keep the money intact and 5% for any little necessary
process we have to make on the transfer process.Therefore, if you are
capable of doing this for me, just contact me on my email on
elizabeth@lizzydonalds.com for further details. I expect to get your reply
soon and if you want my picture, dont hesitate to let me know. thanks and
God bless
Elizabeth L. Donalds
