Subject: Thanks So Much Mr. VICTIMNAME.
Dear VICTIMNAME.
First I have to thank you for bringing out your precious time to respond to my mail for assistance and like you said there are many people in the same situation as mine and some are just faking things up to scam people of thier hard earn money just because they felt that many people do hate to see others in problems which I believe most of them did help because of thier sympaty and kindness and not because they have enough to spend.
Be informed that I choose you in this matter based on my present status here in Senegal as a refugee under asylum. According to the financial governing laws of this country, people under refugees are not allow to participate personal into any monetary transaction or operate account international or locally.
Moreover, I went into serious discussion through email with the financial outfit where this money was deposited into, for them to advise me on what to do in order to have access to the fund, then the legal department of the financial outfit they told me that in a situations like mine, that the best solution to it is by soliciting for assistance of a reliable foreigner who can assist me receive the fund and invest it on my behalf as I wish.
I then decided to contact you, hoping that with your advanced knowledge we can be able to work together, And it took me time to make up my mind to contact you and offered you this proposal of mine of which my whole life depends on.
I will furnish you with all the vital documents covering the deposited fund under the finance house, only if you can promise me that you are not going to betray me or sit on my inheritance after it might have get into your account and I need you to tell me a little bit more about yourself again.
Please understand that there is no illegality involvement in this transaction,you are going to deal with the financial outfit direct. what I am required to do according to the banking procedure, is to grant you with power of attorney as my partner, authorizing you by the law of the financial outfit to claim the fund on my behalf. I will send to you all the vital documents covering the deposited fund with the contact of the financial outfit where the Funds is, for you to communicate them for the transfer.
Finally, I want us to go into life partnership and the proceedings from the investment in your country shall be shared equally between the both of us because I do not know much about international business and I am putting my entire inheritance of my late father to your care because I want you to be in total control of my funds as soon as the fund is release to your care.
I have with me here the deposit certificate and death certificate of my late father already here with me so all we need now is to obtain this power of attorney and as soon as all the three papers are complete I will give you the contact of this Bank so that you can contact them for the release of this money to you on my behalf
I will want you to send me your full name, contact telephone number and address and I will look for a lawyer that will help us obtain a legal power of attorney on your favour from the federal high court here in senegal and with this power of attorney you will have every access to my funds.
However I did send you a webpage news where you can read and find out about this and I only want you to give me the chance of proving myself if possible you can come down to Senegal or you can contact the Finace house to verify if such deposit is with them but if not please forget about me better still you can past my letter on scam site just the way others do and this is one of the reason why I never wanted to contact anybody because I know that because of what is happening now, nobody is going to believe me if I did tell but due to the circumstance surrounding me now, I have not other choice than to look for assistance until God can give me who will surely understands my situation and help me out.
However, I would have love to call you now but as you know I don't have your number for me to call you but rather I will advise you call me through the Rev. father's phone number in the camp so that both of us will discuss + 221 5455 231.
As per the transaction you are having in Cote d'Ivoire, I would want you to send me all the correspondent and contact details so that as soon as I can get them, I will give it to one lawyer who normally comes to visit the Rev. Father in the camp to investigate and also know what he can do to help if such exist.
I await your urgent response so that I can send to you the the deposit certifacate and death certificate.
With Love,
Evette Vaye.
