Subject: PLEASE CONSIDER THIS.
DEAR FRIEND.
Iam contacting you today for a profitable business
prosposal. My name
is WILLIAMS MBAH ,Iam the personal assistant to late
Mr.muhammad
El-Sahedi. EL-Sahedi was an oil merchant from Iran but
resident in Nigeria. He
carried on his oil and petroleum transactions from Nigeria
but exported
to oversaes. EL-Sahedi died recently in Iran as a result of
the
earthquake that hit that country.He died along with his
whole Family.
Apart from being his personal assistant I was also his best
Friend and
confidant.I was therefore in a position to know all his
Financial
transactions as he trusted me . Mr.Sahedi had a deposit of
usd$40.5 million
with a famous security and finance company here which i want
you to
help me receive and transfer into your bank account Till i
come over to
join you for sharing and investment as you may direct me.
IF you agree to assist me ,I WILL GIVE YOU all the details
of the
transaction and the process of receiving the funds because
you will act as
the next of kin to MR.SAHEDI.For assisting me in this
business you will
take 20% of THE USD$40.5 MILLION.as your share and I will
take 70% as
my share while the remaining 10% will take care of the
expenses we may
incure at the process of the transaction.
You will keep my share for me till I join you in your
country a few
weeks after the transfer is made.
I want you to understand that I am not a dishonest Man. I am
only doing
this because if the security company discovers that Mr.
Sahedi and all
his relations are dead ,they will turn over the money to
government and
this will not help me. please note that there is no risk in
this
business as no relation of Mr. Sahedi is alive today and the
security firm
does not know he is dead. When you transfer the money the
security firm
will assume it is Mr. Sahedis next of kin who is doing the
transer
because I will provide you with his letters of
administration to empower you
as his next of kin.
It was when I lEARNT OF his death that I went to his room to
search for
the paper work [Documents] relating to the said deposit. I
Found them
in concealed [secret] drawer in his bedroom.
please reply this message soonest.
Yours sincerely,
WILLIAMS MBAH
