Dearest one,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you , l got your name and contact through the help of a friend who works in internet here in Senegal and I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to its esteeming nature and the recommendation by the director for a reputable and trust worthy person l can do business with and by the recommendation l must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.
l am Miss Lilian, the only daughter of late Mr and Mrs David E.Joe My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Senegal here, the economic capital , he was poissoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on business. My mother died on the 20th october 1988 and my father took me so special because l am his only remaining next of kin he hoped on after the death of my mother when i became motherless.
Before the death of my father on 29th november 2003 in a private hospital here in Senegal, he secretly called me on his bedside,when I sat down to listen to him, he started crying, why?
(1) He complained that I am too young to be managing my life.
(2)That I have not finished my university education as he planned for me,(3)no body to take care of me again as a young girl, but after much crying, he still passed an instruction to me that he has the sum of US$8.000.000.(EIGHT MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) left in a security company here in Senegal, that he used my name as the only daughter for his next of kin in deposit of the funds.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that l should seek for a GOD fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where l will transfer this money and use it for proper investment purpose, that I must finish my university education by the help of that foreign partner abroad,that he or she should help me obtain a resident permit in his or her country.
He also gave an outstanding instrution to the company that the money must be invested outside this country . and it was deposited as an atifact to avoid problem or tamparing by the officers of the company.before use, this is to make sure that I did not begin to make use of the money here so that his enemies will not get at me. Sir, I am now ready to do all these since my father who was my bread winner is no more.
Dear,l am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.
(1) To serve as my gaurdian in your country while I will depend on your expert advise since l am a girl of 23 years.
( 2 ) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country in order to further my university education and to secure a residential permit for me in your country.
Moreover sir, l am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as
Compensation for your effort /input after the successfull transfer of this funds to your account overseas. Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as l believed that this project would be concluded within fourteen ( 14 ) days after you signify interest to assist me.
Hoping to hear from you soonest. May God bless you as you extend your helping hand to a needy fellow.
