Subject: Important Details
Dear VICTIM-FULLNAME,
Thanks for your response. I am very happy that you are willing to help me in this transaction. I decided to choose a total stranger like you to assist me in this transaction because i could no longer trust my relatives and my father`s friends,i can`t trust them anymore . I don`t want to have anything to do with them neither do i want to let them know anything about my inheritance. They might like to kill me too and inherit the money if they should know that i inherited such large amount of money.This is one of the reasons why i decided to search for an honest person abroad for assistance.
I want you to be open minded to me in this transaction. I have made up my mind to put all my trust and confidence in you provided you will be honest and sincere to me.I can assure you with all my heart that this transaction is 100% risk-free both now and in future.
For us to get started with the fund transfer process,i would like you to send to me your personal details like your name in full,Nationality, Address, Date of Birth, Place of Birth, Marital Status, Gender, occuptaion, your personal telephone and fax numbers.
I need the above listed details to appoint and authorise you legally to become my Guardian and Trustee of the Money(My Inheritance).The authorisation and legalisation of the Money Transfer has to be done in accordance with the law. The authorisation will help us to transfer the funds in your name to your account safely without difficulties. The transfer of the money to your account will be done legally according to the law. All the necessary legal papers will be procured and shall be used to backup the transaction. We would proceed to the second stage(Money Transfer)after the authorisation papers are ready.
Bear in mind that you shall be solely responsible to manage all the funds on my behalf and invest them wisely in good investments in your country while i shall go back to school to complete my education as a qualified medical doctor. You should also make arrangement for me to come over to your country where i intend to settle down and continue with my education. 20% of the total money shall be your reward, you shall also invest and manage my own 75% of the money while 5% shall be used to reimburse ourselves for any expenses we may incurr in the process of transfering the money to your accounts.
Please,send your personal details as soon as possible, i need them to make all the necessary legal documentation and receive approvals from the government for the release and transfer of the money in your name as my Guardian and Trustee.
Nevertheless, i would advise that you make this matter a more confidential one between me and you only.I will send to you all the necessary documents of the inheritance soon.
Here is my current address and telephone number. No.13 Salami Ahmed Street, Festac Town, Lagos,Nigeria, Tel. +234-803-340-61156. Please, call me for a brief discussion as soon as possible.
I am looking forward to receiving your personal details soonest.
