Subject: HELLO
Dear Friend,
It took me time and divine intervention to write you this mail as we have
never had any correspondence before. Actually, I got your e-mail address
from the online classified posted on the net.My name is Dr.Paul Graham. I am
a senior doctor in the First Foundation Hospital and Maternity here in the
Republic of Benin in west Africa. And I am 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 am not in a position to perfect it's use.
There is an urgent need for my contacting you as I recently have been
opportuned 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 cancer patient in this hospital for some
months now. 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
lisencened oil merchant before now.Unfortunately she has been living and
struggling with breast cancer for close to 14 months now though she is
unmarried. She has a 12yrs old daughter and I have been looking after her
since the break of her horrible dilemma. She has been through a first
operation and stille to undergo a final operation within the next few days.
I am afraid of her survival after the operation because right now, she
suffers from not only cancer but entire body weakness . She is not aware of
this fact and still hoping 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 lucky. She said 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. The
fund was deposited in a security company in Europe. She also introdused me
to her lawyer who has every details about the security company and how the
money can be realised from the security company.
I have resolved with her on an agreement that will be drawn up by you on a
yearly charge that will be paid to you for taking 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 will also like to know if you can take the young girl
with you as I am a very busy person and may not have all the time to be with
her due to the nature of my work.
I pray you to be of assistance to this course and I'd like to add that
sometimes I receive unsolicited mails so I hope minel does not come as an
embarrassment to you but if it does please kindly accept my apologies and
please reply to my private email: (paul_graham771@yahoo.fr). You can call me
on 00-229-97-086905 for better understnding
Thanks very much and hoping to read from you soon.
Regards,
Dr.Paul Graham
