Subject: BE MY PARTNER
Dear Friend,
No doubt I know you will be surprised to receive this proposal. I got your contact through your countrys Trade Journal here in Madrid-Spain, after my fasting and prayer seeking for a foreign trustworthy person whom will serve as guardian of my Fund for investment.
It was not disclose my business intentions to any person or group of person since I have to keep this matter confidential propose, rather I decided to contact you directly through e-mail.
First I must introduce myself. I am Dr.Emmanuel Isaac from the diamond Rich District of Sierra Leone. During the war between our forces led by the Ex-head of State, Major Johnny Koroma and the West African Allied Forces (ECOMOG), my country relied heavily on the foreign earning generated from Diamond Trade. This money was personally kept by the then President, Major Johnny Koroma,since our banking system had collapsed during the war.
However, as the war progressed, it became apparent that we were going to lose the war to the superior and better armed West African Allied Forces (ECOMOG). At this point, the key officers of the Administration started making frantic efforts on how to leave Sierra Leone safely, thereby sharing the proceeds / money from the Diamond Trade. My father was one of the key officers who succeeded in getting the sum of US$15.5 Million (Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars).
We made arrangements and transferred the money through diplomatic means to South Africa where I and my family lives for good three years, Unfortunately, my father died of heart attack after a few after two years of exile in South Africa and automatically, I came in possession of the said amount as the only surviving son in our family.
My wife and my two beautiful daughters God has giving me are now still in South Africa, after I realized I need to invest the Fund outside African country, I decided to convey the box to Madrid-Spain with the help of the courier company, on arriving here, I deposited it with the courier company for safe keeping although the courier company were not aware of the suit case since it was personal valuable good.
Presently I'm living in Madrid-Spain seek political asylum, just to make sure I can secure my staying here also to monitor my Fund.
Although we have not meet, I need you as a trustworthy person that will assist me and my family to transfer this money to his or her account outside The Spain Government as the strict monetary laws here do not allow asylum seekers certain financial rights to open an foreign account.
I shall be grateful if you assist me to accomplish this transaction and hoping too that you remain trustworthy, that you will not take any advantage of me after the Fund is under your costudy.
As I promise you that you will never regret of knowing me For your efforts and assistance, I am prepared to give you 20% of the total sum while 5%will be set aside for all the expenses incurred during the course of this transaction. The rest 75% will be for my family investment in your country.
Please note that this transaction is 100% risk free as such the only thing I ask from you is total assistance to transfer this money, complete trust and assurance that my own part of the money will be safe when transferred to your country. If you are interested in assisting me, please indicate on the response to my email address: (Dremmanuelisaac@netscape.net) as you keep this matter confidential.
Best regards
DR. EMMANUEL ISAAC
