Subject: from....Rev. Father Peter
Dear Friend,
It took me time and divine intervention to write you
this mail, as we have never had any
correspondence before. My name is Rev. Father Peter
Richard. I'm a catholic priest and I'm very much
interested in a relationship with you for mutual
benefits as I have access to what is needed, but
lack the experience and I'm not in a position to
perfect its use. There is an urgent need for my
contacting you as I recently have been granted
an opportunity to have access to US$8,500,000.00
(Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars Only). Access to this fund is made available
by a woman, who happens to be a serious member
of my parish.
She is well known in this community
and aside being a major real estate agent she is a
magnet in environmental management and was a
liencened oil merchant beforenow.Unfortunately
she has been living and struggling with breast
cancer for close to 14 months now. Though she
is unmarried, she has a 12 years old daughter and
I have been responsible for her care seen the break
of her horrible dilemma. She has been through a first operation, and
though she is to undergo a final operation within the next few days, the
doctors have not given her much of a chance to live. She is not aware of
this fact and she stills remains hopefully that something positive can
be done in her case. Based on my last discussion with her yesterday
afternoon on the future of her daughter, should she not be so lucky. She
insisted that the fund should be invested. Unfortunately I'm definitely
not in a position to run things,which is why I seek your assistance in
taking control of managing the fund.I have resolved with her on an
agreement that will be drawn up by you on a yearly charge that will be
paid to youfortaking control and managing the fund while half of the
proceed will be given for the development of treatment of cancer
patients. The rest will remain with you for the up keep of her daughter.
I wish you could be of assistance to this course and I'd like to add
that sometimes I receive unsolicited mails, so I hope my mail doesn't
come as an embarrassment to you, but if it does please kindly accept my
apologies. Awaiting your response, Yours In Christ, Rev Fr Peter
Richard. This electronic communication is intended only for theperson or
