Subject: My consignment in USA
Dear sir,
We need your help. I know you will be surprised to receive this mail. I am Addim Williams. The son of late Lucas Williams who died five years ago as a result of the revolt and campaign of calamity visited on white farmers in Zimbabwe. Though a black man but because of his upright stand that the government forcefully took over of farms from the investors all in the name of land reforms was absurd and inhuman, he was viewed as an enemy and eventually murdered.
Ever since then, my mother and I has been in Zambia on asylum because of the government in Zimbabwe has been hunting us. Before my father's death, he had deposited the sum of Twelve million American dollars with a security company in Ghana with the sole aim of acquiring some dredging equipments in setting up of a dredging firm with his partner. With his death and all his assets seized at home and accounts frozen, the family is now in a very difficult situation.
Based on that, we are soliciting your assistance to help us to receive this consignment as our family trustee. The amount involve is Twelve Million united states dollars ($12Million).
This consignment was moved to the United States few months by my father's partner without our knowledge and it got to our notice through the director of the security company that the consignment has been moved to the United States by the request of my late father's partner. Actually, my late father's partner has assess to information regarding the deposit made by my father so he took advantage of that to instruct the company to send the consignment across to him in the USA but unfortunately for him he does not have the documents but we have.
We cannot trust my father’s partner because since the death of my father he never cared for us even my sick mother, only interested in our money and for you to believe he wanted the money to himself, he did not inform us that he was taking the consignment to the United States. This is the situation we find ourselves and that is why we have contacted you to help us stand as our family trustee to claim this consignment over there in your country and help us to come over there and start a new life.
We came to Ghana after we got the news from the director of the company. Now, we have stopped the release of the consignment to him. The consignment is still in the USA with the diplomat Mr. James Ashley and you can call him on this number +1-713-240-2345. We want a trustworthy person like you we can present and help us claim the consignment as our trustee. We are ready to compensate you with 20% of the money for your help as we are in a very tight situation. We are ready to make you the manager of our investment in the USA.
We will be glad if you respond to this call soonest. Please send your response through this email address. Send us your number so that my mother and I can speak with you. You can reach us through this number 00233242651812.
We await your urgent reply.
Regards,
Addim Williams
For the family
