Dear Friend
I want to use this media to ask for your aid in this transaction which I am sure
will be of benefit to both you and I but let me apologize for contacting here
without your approval or consent,it is because I need someone to help me out of
my situation and i know that this will be a big suprise for you. you be will ask
your self how did i find your email address and your name,
My name Sammuel from Cameroun a country in the Western region of Africa My
father Kaminie Priso was a multi-millionaire known in my country and all over
west Africa because of his business establishments in West Africa.
He died in Febuary 2006 and left three wives and twenty three(23) children
behind.I am his fourth child and my mother only had me for him.Due to our
tradition,the wealth has to be divided among his wives and children and this
cause a lot of problem in the family.
My mother died because of the problem because she is the only educated wife of
my father and the other wives thought that it was my mother who drew up the will
for my father.On the 10th of March this year some armed men came to my mother's
house and started firing gun shots which killed my mother and ran away and up
till this moment the government refused to do anything about it.
After my mother's death,while cleaning the house,I discovered a silver box in my
mother's room that is cleverly hidden and I sought after it and have it
removed.I was shocked to discover that the box was full of money in united
Dollars bills and a small part of it is some gold.
I was confused because I didn't know what to do with it,I carried the box and
deposited it in a security company in Yaounde,Cameroun and have it declared it
as family valuables. I wanted to start to safe this money but the family are
using their influence on me to collect the money because they claimed they know
that my mother has in her position some money belonging to my father.
The first son of the family is a politician and he is trying to use his
influence to threaten me.I have locked up in jail for (80) days without food in
the prison and now that I have just been released I have decided to look for
partner abroad who will help me to transfer the money.
This is why I have sent this mail to you without anticipation for your
permit,the amount of the money according to the documents I found on it is
$US8,600,000:00 (Eight million six hundred thousand US Dollars) , I am ready to
offer you 20% for your assistance which you will render for me,I am doing this
because I know I am going to take your precious time in doing this transaction
and I want you to please do understand me
