>From MARY LISA JONES
Good day,
Pardon me for contacting you without any previous appointment,due consider
this as a plea for assistance because of the ugly situation i found myself
which compels me to contact you this way.I am Miss Mary Lisa Jones the only
daughter and child of Mr and Mrs Henry Xavier Jones ,my father was posioned
to death by his business associates because of his wealth during one of his
business meetings,his only trusted brother masterminded his poison so during
the few days my father battled between life and death at the hospital he
called me on his sick bed as his only child because my mother died when i
was 8 years old.My father told me about the sum of US$4.8M he deposited in a
security company in United Kingdom for safe keeping , he disguised and
declared the box to contain family valuables instead of money,by this way
the company does not know the true content of the box for safety reasons.My
father told me he can not survive the sickess that if he dies i should leave
Angola my country, and come to Lagos Nigeria my mothers home to look for
whom i trust to help me transfer this money out ofUnited Kingdom for my
future use and investment.All this discussion took place at his hospital
beside before he eventually died.
I am just a student university undergraduate and really don't know what to
do. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of
incessant political crisis inAngola .The death of my father actually brought
sorrow to my life.I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in
relocating this money to your custody as quickly as possible so that i will
arrange my traveling documents to join you.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me ?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you after the money is in your custody?
4. Can you keep this matter only to yourself for safety reasons?
I urgently await your response
Sincerely yours
Mary Lisa Jones
