Subject: PLEASE CONFIRM MY BUSINESS PROPOSAL
My dear Amarjit Singh
I am most grateful for your mail, and I seize this opportunity to thank you for coming to my rescue and to also let you know that this transaction is a straight forward and legal transaction. I am somebody with a conscience. If this transaction was in any way illegal, I would not in any way get you involved.
I hope you were not too embarrassed by my first email to you since you do not know me. I had no option since my immediate and extended family have refused to distribute my funds because they want to keep it to themselves. I didn’t know how to move the funds out and dispatched it to charity organizations, so I resulted to putting fate to test and making a random contact. I got your email address from a private search, which I did, on the Internet.
I am communicating with only you at this moment with regards to this transaction. And I would not have any cause to do otherwise, except you state your intention to withdraw your assistance. Just like I stated in my first mail to you, this fund is presently as I earlier told you in a security and holding firm.
I cannot distribute these funds myself because of the following reasons:
(1) I am under going medical treatment. It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
(2) I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations and churches, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. It is for this reasons I am seeking for your assistance to stand as the beneficiary to the fund and retrieve it on my behalf and dispatched it to charity organizations.
All the necessary documents required to get the Funds out of the security firm are in my possession and I will be sending them to you after we must have come to a conclusion and reached a better understanding. I therefore, need you to give me your words that you will be very honest and straight forward with me when the money gets to you, So long as you can execute this Project successfully and help me dispatched it to charity organizations, I don’t mind if you will be keeping 50% to yourself.
I will appreciate that you forward the following details to me so that I can pass it on to the security company for a possible change of the name of the beneficiary to your name.
1. Full name
2. complete address
3. Direct phone number
I am presently in my country Dubai and I will forward your details to the security company in Madrid Spain for possible recognition and acceptance by the security company that you are going to be the new beneficiary for the consignment that I deposited with them via their Dubai branch office as I have been incapacited so that they can have a 100% dealings with you without hassle.
I have been restricted for medical reasons from using the phone so I can only communicate to you just via email but as soon as I provide your details to the security company where the fund is currently being deposited and a letter of authority granted in your favour, I can then provide you with the phone number of the security company so that you can open up discussions with them.
Please, if you have any questions up to this stage, please ask and I will be more than happy to respond to them.
Once again, thanks for your mail, as it has relieved me and I pray to almighty God with his infinite mercy to reward you. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it now. I want you to pray for me so that God would forgive me and be merciful to me and accept my soul.
For confidentiality, reply with this email. May God bless you as i will be waiting for your reply.
Jamal Yusuf
Sincerely.
