Subject: Hello my dear friend,
Hello my dear friend,
Good day to you my good friend, How are you and your family, I hope everyone
is doing well my regards.... I am Mr. Leonard Ken Auta, I live at number 38
Convent Garden King Street Shell Quarters 111 Delta State Nigeria. I am the
only child of my Father. I never knew my mother, and have not seen her since
I was born. My Father told me that She left him and relocate for her country
USA for the past 22 years. My Father was a wealthy Oil Merchant before he
was poisoned to death by his business associate on one of their out going
discussion on a business trip, due to jealous and Greed.
Before his death, he told me that he deposited a box that contains his
personal documents, Gold and diamond jewelries and sum of Two Million Pounds
Sterling with a security finance company in London for safekeeping. He gave
me the document, which he made with my name as the next of kin. He told me
to relocate to US or any part of Europe from there, I should search for my
mother after settling down. He advised that in no condition I would decide
to reside here for the sake of my life. He said that the box contains some
documents that have vital information of my mother. I am soliciting for your
assistance in claiming and receiving this box that contains the fund on my
behalf. I would be coming over to reside permanently, invest with the money
and start a good living without fear. I need your assistance to get back to
good living because I have nothing left, the fund in question is the only
hope I have. If you decide to help me out of this predicament, when I arrive
to you, I would not fail to compensate you handsomely before anything.
Finally, I have been in contact with the security finance company in London
to make some inquiries on how the transaction would be made. They told me
that the box would be Ship to the address of my chosen Destination. Please
reply with your Full name, telephone number where you can easily be reached
and home Address where the box will be delivered. Please make no mistake
about the address for the sake of misplacement Please tell me more about
your self and what you do for a living and the more about your area where
you live. On getting your response, with the information, I will file in an
application to the Security Finance Company in London for the release and
delivery of the box to you as my beneficiary. Hoping to hearing from you.
Bless you,
Leonard Ken Auta
