From: "John Alias" <aliasjohnwilliams@hotmail.com>
Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2005 06:53:29 -0800
Subject: Attention
Attention Please,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally, but for purpose of introduction, I am MR. JOHN WILLIAMS ALIAS,
18years old and the only son of MR. PETER ALIAS a farmer by profession, who
died two years ago in Auto, crash here in London. Before the death of my
father, he had taken me to deposit the sum of eighteen Million United States
Dollars (US$18 Million), with a security and finance company here in London,
As if he foresaw his death. This amount was made for the purchase of new
machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of a new farm in
Scotland before his death. I have been trying to collect the money from (the
security finance Company) but the MD/CEO told me to go and look for my
father's friend or family relation that is honest and old enough to help me
collect the money.
I could have tell my mother to assist me to collect the (US$18 Million) for
me but my mother and father has divorced before my father died and my father
told me not to have anything to do with my mother I don't even want her to
know because what my father told me before he died was true, now that I stay
with my mother she don't even have time for me all she do is to take hard
drugs and to bring men to the house and she also hit me all the time. I
don't want to have anything to do with her again, I just want some body that
is old enough and honest to help me collect this money (US$18 Million) from
the (security finance company) as I am too young to take care of sure
amount. As the only child of my father. I am afraid of investing this amount
of money by my self due to my age and it might jeopardize my academic
carrier, so I seek your help as a foreigner to help me invest this money in
your country in Hotel and Estate Management based on your advice or from
experts in your country. I must let you know that this transaction is
risk-free and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter.
Therefore, if you accept to assist me, I am willing to offer 20% of the
total sum for your assistance, while 80% will be use to invest in areas of
Hotel and Estate Management for me which you will be the chairman and
director for now until I am old enough (finish my education) to handle the
business.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please, send me your name and
address, telephone and fax numbers and also your international passport or
drivers license I will give you the contact information of the security
finance company so that you can contact them. The security finance company
promise to release the money to anybody that I could found to assist me
invest this huge amount of money on my behalf.
And note that I have all deposited documents; I am indeed the beneficiary to
my late father Mr. PETER ALIAS.
Hoping to hear from you through my private email address: j.williams@mail.ru
God bless you,
MR. JOHN WILLIAMS ALIAS,
