Dear Sir,
Greetings to you, my name is Lat Ekomba. My mother and I sincerely need your help to keep my mother alive. I need your attention regarding my family business and current situation. And note that you have to handle this confidential and sincerely by not discussing it with anyone for security reasons and also to avoid any third party complications. I pray you will not let us down.
My mother is currently admitted in a private Hospital in Phuket as a result of injuries
sustained from the Thailand Tsunami disaster.
I am the only surviving child of My parents. Mr/Mrs MONSURU EKOMBA, a citizen of Libaria, My Father owns one of the biggist Resort in the Phuket Island of Thailand. It is quite unfortunate that my father and my two sister died of the Tsunami disaster and their body are yet to be discovered and my mother narrowly escaped dealth.
My father's business have been raised down to nothing. A deposit of 640,000.000.000.00 Thailand baht (14.5 M US$) which is the only document left behind for me and my mother at the moment. I was adviced by my late father never to deal with Thailand people in terms of business. My mother and I in a mutual agreement want this fund to have two beneficiary's so we can be able to transfer/Lift it to your country in your name.
At present, I am the next of kin to all my family's wealth and treasure but I would like a meeting with my mother so that we will discuss on how best to secure this money. I believe that by the special grace of God, you will help us move this money out of the security company to your country where we can invest this money judiciously with you. You are entitled to a reasonable part of this money based on our agreement and God will bless you as you help us. Kindly reach us on this phone number: +665-1539-304. Most preferably at night anytime from 22.00hours Gmt(10.00p.m) because at this time, my mother and I are usually together because she is free from medications at night except on sudden or unforeseen emergencies.
Your quick response will be of great benefit to us and please remember us in your prayers. May God Shelter and Care for you as you assist orphans and widows.
