Greetings,
Please permit me to contact you through this medium. I am Mr.Mohammed Yusuf,
son of Mr. Ahmed Abdulwahad who is a public Figure in our in Angola,
politician here in a Angola
My Father , Mr. Abdulwahad Ahmed Yusuf , was arrested and charged to court
for a multibillion dollar arms deal fraud which she said was politically
motivated by his enemies as her husband was the chairman of parliament in
Angola and the former chief whip of the ruling political party. She also
told me that he 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 her husband and children. Based on this,
she cannot even afford to take care of her medical expenses. This is
why I am rendering her free medical attention. Due to the fact that her
husband is still being monitored, she was 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 us by making a
residential arrangement for me and my sibblings including my family and
children in your country. I would however make sure that you and I work in
good accordance as I will provide you with all informations and as I have
access to all documents concerning the consignment.
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 my
discussion with my father, He has agreed to give you a reasonable percentage
of the money for your assistance, which will be negotiated and agreed on by
both sides. I am obliged to assist this lady knowing that I have a limited
knowledge in the business world. 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.
