Subject: STRCTLLY CONFIDENTIAL
ATTN: PLS,
I do foresee the surprise this letter will bring to you as it comes
from a stranger. But be rest assured as it comes with best of intentions.
However, your address was courtesy of a business journal at the World Trade
Centre in Ghana. But after due consideration from your profile, I became
aware and assured of your credibility of handling this trust and my future.
Thus, after my humble decision to solicit you understanding and co-operation
in this transaction, as it will be beneficial to all of us involved.
My name is MR DAVID NYERERE, from Tanzania. I am the first son of the Late
President of Tanzania JULIUS NYERERE, who died about years ago. My father
used his position then to make some fortune for us when he was alive and
he died after a protracted illness. I was studying overseas when my he 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 deposited with a
private Security Company here in Ghana, He deposited this consignment as
family valuables to avoid dumorage.
The amount is USD 18 MILLION. However, my aim of contacting you is to help
me and take this sum into your nominated account in your country or any
other part of the world. Secondly, you will also help me look for a
profitable investment because I don't have knowledge of international
investments. As a result of my present situation, I won't be able to
conclude this transaction alone. If you are interested in helping me out,
try and contact me with the above e-mail address, or phone numbers
indicating your interest to help me. I will then furnish you with more
details. I have mutually agreed to compensate you with 25% of the total sum
for your assistance, Then the remaining 75% will remain for my family and
me, which 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.
God bless you.
