Subject: PLEASE CONSIDER THIS.
DEAR GOOD FRIEND.
Iam contacting you today for a profitable business
prosposal. My
name is PAUL RISY Iam the personal assistant to late
Mr.muhammad
El-Sahedi. EL-Sahedi was an oil merchant from Iran but
resident in Nigeria. He
carried on his oil and petroleum transactions from Nigeria
but exported
to oversaes. EL-Sahedi died recently in Iran as a result of
the
earthquake that hit that country.He died along with his
whole Family.
Apart from being his personal assistant Iwas also his
best Friend
and confident.I was therefore in a position to know all his
Financial
transactions as he trusted me . Mr.Sahedi had a deposit of
usd$40.5
million with a famous security and finance company here
which i want you to
help me receive and transfer into your bank account . Till i
come over
to join you for sharing and investment as you may direct me.
IF you agree to assist me ,I WILL GIVE YOU all the
details of the
transaction and the process of receiving the funds because
you will
act as the next of kin to MR.SAHEDI.for assisting me in this
business
you will take 20% of THE USD$40.5 MILLION.as your share and
I will take
70% as my share while the remaining 10% will take care of
the expenses
we may insure at the process of the transaction.
You will keep my share for me till I join you in your
country a
few weeks after the transfer is made.
I want you to understand that I am not a dishonest
Man. I am only
doing this because if the security company discovers that
Mr. Sahedi
and all his relations are dead ,they will turn over the
money to
government and this will not help me. please note that there
is no risk in
this business as no relation of Mr. Sahedi is alive today
and the
security firm does not know he is dead. When you transfer
the money the
security firm will assume it is Mr. Sahedis next of kin who
is doing the
transer because I will provide you with his letters of
administration to
empower you as his next of kin.
It was when I lEARNT OF his death that I went to his room to
search for
the paper work [Documents] relating to the said deposit. I
Found them
in concealed [secret] drawer in his bedroom.
please reply this message soonest .my alternative email
address as follows,paulrisy3@aemail4u.com.
Yours sincerely
PAUL RISY.
