Subject: ASSITANCE NEEDED UGENTLY
Dear friend,
In our search for a trustworthy person to faithfully carry out this private
and confidential transaction,we came upon your highly esteemed profile.I
verily believe this will be most beneficial to both of us if you pay some
attention to it.I am sorry for bringing a business of this magnitude your
way especially as we have not yet met.
My name is Dr.Revania Petrit from albania ,presently in london working with
a liquidation firm appointed by the High Court of Justice (Chancery
Division)as the Official Receiver(O.R) to wind up a large company here in
England (NOW LIQUIDATED).
The company was involved in child labour and have borrowed money from
various creditors and persistently refused to pay back the loans,hence the
winding up process against it.In the process of winding up the company,it
was our responsibility to sell the properties of the company and pay all
debts owed to the creditors and debenture holders of the company.It is part
of the law that all directors and management staff of the company shall
cease to hold office when we the liquidators take over.This gave us full
control of the company.
Presently, I have accessed the debts of the company and the creditors owed,I
came to find out that there is an excess of 15.3 million pounds(GBP)
available to the company after the payment of debts owed to the creditors
and debenture holders.Working with my partner the Principal Audit Officer,we
have agreed that the company is not worth having this money because of their
inhuman and ungodly act to fellow humans.
We therefore seek your kind assistance to incorporate you to our already
laid out plan for the perfection of this business which is to include you as
one of the creditors/debenture holder of the company to enable us keep
substantial part of the excess funds for ourselves.we will ensure that the
Chancery Division recognises you as one of the denture holders of the
company holding the value of Security Shares we shall attach to your name
and make approval for the payment of debt owed to you.
I want to assure you that there will be no risk involved in this business as
we shall carry out all aspect of this deal in accordance with the provision
of the law.You do not have to worry about the modalities and logistics of
this transaction as it will be handled by us.We shall secure the services of
an attorney to represent you and all necessary documentations to seal this
business will be performed by him.
Kindly indicate your interest in this transaction and I shall present the
details of this transaction to you.

Dr.Revania Petrit.
