Subject: Hello...
Dear Sir,
My name is Miss Sharon Cowan, an orphan from Amsterdam Netherlands. I am the
only child and daughter of late Mr Cowan Bill. My mother died when I was a
baby and since then my father took me so special. My father was a very
wealthy and successful business merchant in Belgium. My father was
unfortunaltely shot to death by hired assassin on November 2003, during one
of their business trip within my country.
Though, he did not died instantly. However before he finally gave up the
ghost on 24th November 2004 in a private hospital in Amsterdam Netherlands,
he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of
$36,000,000,00usd( Thirty Six Million USD) left with a security company in
London. He used my name as his only daughter for the next of kin in
depositing the box as family treasures for security reasons. That the
necessary documents relating to the fund are kept with his foreign attorney
in Belgium.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was shot
by these hired assasin associates.
He advised me to seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where
I believe is safe for me and transfer this fund, and use it for my education
and investment in future. I am honourably seeking your assistance in this
regards to serve as a fiduciary agent/business partner to claim this fund on
my behalf since I am only 23 years old, who is still being hurt by my late
father enemies. Moreover, I am willing to offer you 30% of the total sum as
compensation for your effort, and after the successful claim and transfer of
this fund into your designated bank account overseas, while 5% is earmaked
for consigencies in course of the transaction. It may also interest you to
know, that I am a 4th year Medical student at Duham University London, in
United Kingdom.
Though, I had deferred my study, immediately my father was killed and Iam
now preparing to go back to school and finish up my study, as soon as I have
fund available at my disposal.
Furthermore, if you indicate your interest towards assisting me to achieve
this goal, you can contact me urgently via my email address:
s_cowan1@msn.com OR s_cowan2@yahoo.com Awaiting your anticipating
co-operation and urgent response.
Best regards and God bless.
Sharon Cowan.
