Subject: Please I Need Your Help
Greetings From Serenal,
How are you today? i hope you are fine and doing well? if so thanks be to God. I am Miss Serena, the only daughter of col. Clark Benson one of the senior officers of revolutionary united front of sierra Leone (r.u.f) who died with some of his colleagues during a cross fire battle between the (r.u.f) and the peace keeping force in sierra Leone.
Before my late father gave up in the hospital after the shot at him,he secretly called me and told me about his money Eleven million United State Dollars.USD($11. 000,000,000) that he deposited with a private security company Here in Dakar Senegal by the time he was posted here.
He said that during the deposition of the money,that the money was declared as a family consignment but not as money to the security company for security reasons best know to him in case of transferring out of the cuontry. He told me that the money was meant for a Estate business he planed to establish here in Senegal and finally he gave me all the Vital documents Issued to him by the security company during the deposit of the family consignment which will enable me for the claim.
Please, I want to use this opportunity to inform you that this money is the only hope which we have for our future survival because after the death of my Father our relatives colaborated to confiscate all that our late Father left for us except this family consignment that is containing the money which they are not aware of, and we can not fight them because we are females to confront them that is why we come down here to Senegal for the safety of our lives and for the claim of the family consignment.
However, my purpose of contacting you are as follows, 1) To help us get resident permit to stay in your country. (2) To make sure that i continue my education in your country. (3) To help us retrive our family consignment from the security company here in Senegal to your country.
Pls also, I will like you to negotiate for us some profitable blue chip investment opportunities which is risky free which we can invest with this money when it is transferred to your position, personally we are interested in estate management and hotel business, please advise us.
Call me back immediately you receive this message for more explanation. And also promisse me and my AGE mother to be a guidearn considering our situation and not to betray us. I will be waiting to hear from you together with you telephone number incase of emagency calling. Remain bless as i will be hoping to hear from you soon.
Yours Sincerely
Serena.
