My Dear Beloved,
Thanks for your mail thereby accepting my preposition to serve the less privileged in the society. As it may be made known to you, I am really undergoing pains due to my cancer diagnosis and which has made me to seek for some one to be trusted with my wealth for a service to humanity. I am not doing this just because I have it but I am doing it just because it has been in my mind to do so despite the fact that I am not where to be found now. Even if I die tomorrow and this project were actualised by you, I shall always be happy wherever I may be and God will never let you down but I have to warn that you should use this money judiciously and for the purpose it is meant to serve.
My quest for this, has led me into a search through the internet for a reliable hand to handle this and you were the one I could see hence my contacting you to please ensure that this pet project and my dream is not left unattended to. I would greatly be honoured if this project is well actualised at the long run and I tell you, your wealth shall never dry. For the continuation of this project, you should understand that is should be handled as an adult and not a kid because this issue has to be well formalised and all to the good interest of the society at large.
Above all, the following shall be needed for the immediate commencement of the regularisation of the contemporary business transformation:
1.} Your Full Name and Residential Address
2.} Your Telephone and Fax Numbers including your Mobile Phone
3.} Your Date of Birth and Country of Origin
4.} Your Occupation/Profession/Position
5.} Your designated Bank account where you may want the fund transferred into.
All these are the criterial needed for the commencement of the business transaction and all in good faith. For the proper handling of this business, there are two options involved:

* Hire the Services of an Attorney to represent you pursue the course of this transaction.
Choose your options and get back to me so that we can plan ahead for the betterment of the transaction in great terms and you should remember that for now, I am still in the hospital undergoing treatment and all hope for the survival of this dream now lies in your hand and you have to ensure that all is well with it.
