With due respect, trust and humility, I write you this proposal, which I believe would be of great interest to you. I find your contact while I was doing private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist my family and me. That is why I contacted you. My name is Mr.ERNEST. P. NYERERE, from Tanzania. I am the son of the Late President of Tanzania JULIUS MWALIMU NYERERE, who died about three year ago. My father used his position then to make for himself and us some fortune. My father died after a protracted illness. I was studying overseas when my father died and I was forced to return for the funeral. His attorney notified me and my family about my father's Will with his chambers. When I was going through the will, I discovered that my late father had used his position then to make some money, which he brilliantly transferred and deposited it with a private Security Company here in LOME TOGO He deposited this consignment as valuable!
s. The
Security Company does not know that this consignment contains cash money, except the attorney and my family. The amount is fifty three million, five hundred thousand United States Dollars (USD 53.5 MILLION). However, my aim of contacting you is to help us and take this sum into your nominated account in your country or any other part of the world. Secondly, you will also help us look for a profitable investment overseas because we don't have knowledge of international investments. As a result of our present situation, I won't be able to conclude this transaction alone. If you are interested in helping me out, try to indicat your interest in helping me, not forgetting to include your private phone and fax numbers for easier communication. I will then furnish you with more details. We have mutually agreed to compensate you with 30% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% for expenses in the course of the transaction. Then the remaining 65% will remain for my family and me, w!
hich you
will help us invest. Be informed that this transaction needs utmost trust and confidentiality. Note also that the transaction attracts no risk on your side hence all the modalities for safe, smooth and successful transaction have been arranged by me. Looking forward to receiving your urgent reply.
MR.ERNEST. P. NYERERE
