‘’’’FROM A SINCERE MOTHER’S HEART’’’’’’
Hi.
I am deeply touched by the desperate search for a reliable business associate, to contact you. Please, do not consider this e-letter as one of those you read on daily basis. I have no other means of getting in contact with you beside this source. However, do not consider this contact as scam or omission.
By a way of introduction, I am Ms. Prisca Raymond, mother of two. I am a citizen of Sao Tome, the oil rich country in east Africa. I was married to the late business mogul, Chief Raymond Basil who died in America whist negotiating oil deals with the American oil giant PETROBRAS in Mississippi. He was a close align to Bill Cliton, Nelson Mandela, President Bush.
The sudden death of my husband has warranted the other rich oil contractors to lure the government of Sao Tome to auction my late husband investment so as to enable them have easy field of operation. I am a woman and a less figure in decision making of my late husbands’ firms.
Before my late husband traveled to the United States, on August 31st, 2005. He made it clear of fixed cash in three banks worth $56.000.000 U.S. To this effect, I was given order of security to the fund prior to any urgent investment that may come in my late husband company name.
This is confidential and reliable, I am contacting you to act as my late husband business associate to enable the bank transfer these funds directly to your designated accounts forth with identification. My two children are beginning to suffer the wicked policies of the oil operators and we need to be evacuated somewhere safe, your country or any other safe environment for business investments.
I shall feed you with the necessary information (S) to the fund and claim procedures. Note, I am out of sight; all transactions will be directly to the banks. When funds are released to your accounts, my children and I will join you. Note, you will have %30 to cover the stress that may result in the cause of the transfer. %20 for procurement of any transfer requirement.
Thanks for your wonderful anticipation regardless the situation. This purely legal as it is my late husband’s hard earned money.
Thanks.
