Subject: can you assist
Dear Friend
It is with greate pleasure and honesty to get across to you for a very
urgent and profitable business proposal, and it is of great interest
that we relate to each other well hence from this moment despite the
fact that I don't know you neither have I seen you before but my
confidence was reposed on you when I came across your contact in one
of the directory for an independent foreigner company/individual who
can represent
my interest well as I search for a credible overseas partner to do
business with.
I am the Eldest son of late Mr.Harrisson Goodman. My father while he
was alive was a very successful business man and also a very lovely
father.I and my family came to realised that he had deposited (Money)
with a financial Institute in EUROPE with a security company which
total the sum of US10 Million (Ten Million U.S.Dollars) about 2 years
before his death in 2004.
Until today My self and my Family member has made several attempts to
collect the funds from the security company but all our effort has
proved abortive because my father before he died gave a standing
instruction to the Then administrative manager of the Financial
Institute that in case of his eventuality( he was suffering from
Cancer of the Liver) under no Condition should this funds be released
to us without Members of my family providing/presenting a reputable
investor who will stand as our family investor and present a good
investment plan before the money can be released to us.
Now with all the conditions of the Financial Institute as placed by my
late father, I would want you to front as my family investor so that
we can successfully collect this funds ($10m)from the Financail
institute.
After the collection of this funds, we can indeed go into a profitable
investment that would be recommended by you otherwise we would all go
separate ways if you want. In actual fact,we already have a Copy of
the Certificate of Deposit in our possession and this we will use to
perfect all necessary documents and swear to an affidavit of claims in
acourt of law to back up your claims that you are our investor for the
past 5 years.
The whole procedures will last only four working days to get the
Box containing the money (US$10Million) retrieved successfully.
Your response is only what we are waiting for as we have arranged all
necessary things. As soon as this message comes to you kindly get back
to me indicating your interest, Then I will furnish you with the whole
procedures to ensure that the deal is successfully concluded.
For your assistance we shall agree on a percentage sharing when we've
come into an agreement but i am willing to give you 15%. while 5% will
cover any expense you and i may eventually incure in collection of the
Fund.
Please for security reasons, all futher correspondence should be
address to (har_goodman@k.ro) only.
I await your earliest response. Thanks,
Yours Sincerely,
Harrisson Goodman Jr.
