Subject: Urgent response.
Greetings,
Please permit me to contact you through this medium. I am Mohammed Yusuf,
and I reside in Angola
I am the son of Mr. Abdulwahad Ahmed who was arrested for some offence by
our government in Angola, I am here in Dubai UAE, soliciting help from
foriegn
individuals who can assist me in a very tedious project which in turn would
be very promising worth valuable estates. My Father Mr. Abdulwahad Ahmed,
was arrested and charged to court for a multibillion dollar arms deal fraud
which was politically motivated by his enemies as my father was the former
chairman of parliament in Angola and the former chief whip of the ruling
political party and accented to plead guilty in exchange for his acquittal
on corruption charges but was later convicted on trumped-up charges.
This led to his bank accounts in Angola and abroad being frozen.
Now, things are really bad for me and my family as I am the first born of
my parents,Based on this we cannot even feed not to talk of taking care
of our medicals when a family member falls ill. This is why I am here in
Dubai Due to the fact that my father is still being monitored, he has
advised
by him to source for a credible and trustworthy partner abroad who will
help in managing and investing some funds he secretly deposited in a
security
firm for safe keeping some years ago. The amount is Twenty two million five
hundred thousand United States Dollars contained in sealed boxes.
He deposited these boxes with a safe security company in Dubai UAE (United
Arab Emirate) for safekeeping as family treasures and African artifacts
to prevent the officials of the company from raising eyebrow. I wish and
believe you will be in a position to assist in managing this large sum for
a profitable venture and also to help create a safe heaven for me and my
family by making a residential arrangement for us in your country. I have
all documents relating to my claim if you wish to confirm.
I will oblige you with more information as soon as I receive your
response. Let me assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free. From
your discussion with me , we would come to an agreement that you get a
reasonable percentage of the money for your assistance, which will be
negotiated
and agreed on by both sides. I will need from you a mutual understanding
and then we shall make plans of how the funds would be secured into an
account
in your name. Moreover, you will arrange and travel immediately to meet
with the security company for the clearing of the consignment.
Thanks and God bless you for your understanding. Please do not forget to
email me your private telephone number so that I can give you a call to
discuss this matter if you are interested in this offer.
Best regards.
Mr. .Mohammed Yusuf.
