Hello Sir,
How are you?
I am very sorry for infringing into your privacy, it due to the service to humanity and all in the aid of refugee.
I am Anthony Dominick a Staff of United Nations High Commission for Refugee (UNHCR) - The United Nations Refugee Agency, I am directly in charge of supervision of Refugees' Affairs in West and East Africa, a refugee recently contacted me on investment opportunity regarding his inheritance from his late dad as the heir apparent to the family and now wants to invest what his late father had laboured and died for in a lucrative business outside his domain.
His quest for this is that he doesn't want anybody to link him with his late father again, because of gruesome murder of his dad is still haunting him, even despite the United Nations order that they must return back to their country, and better still he is the only surviving child in the whole family.
After contacting me I now deem fit to contact you for assistance as this poor guy has contacted the Finance Company where the money is being kept and has been advised to move the money out for lucrative investment because of any future occurrences, he now need assistance of a foreign investor/partner who will handle and manage this money very well on his behalf till he finally join in the management of the business.
This is a very straightforward transaction because according to Finance experts, he just needs to change the ownership of the fund to his foreign partner and investor and thus the money move out for better investment.
As I am mailing you, this man, does not have anything apart from this money and his country, Sierra Leone, is not investment-friendly at all.
I now want you to be of assistance to this gentleman handling his investment in your care.
The money fixed by his late dad for this investment is US$15,500,000.00 (Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars only)
I need your response on this if you can be of assistance on this regard.
Kindly permit me to also let you know that, I have reach an agreement with him that he should give you 20% of the total sum of the investment money for your efforts and 10% for all the expenses that may incurred in getting the money to you, either in the bank or all other miscellaneous expenses.
I am doing this for him on my capacity as official of UNHCR, and there is no problem whatsoever regarding this investment.
You can as well contact this gentleman on his email: rolasmartins@martins.la <mailto:rolasmartins@martins.la>
His name is Rolas Martins.
Sincerely yours,
Anthony Dominick
