Subject: Looking Forward To Hearing From You
Dear Sir/Madam,
First and foremost I would like to apologize for infringing
on your privacy by sending you an unsolicited email, I
decided to contact you via an email to get us acquainted
since it is a safer way of private communication. If you
must know, I came about your contact information through a
chamber of commerce and industry directory on the Internet
I am Lucia Precious Wright, 25 years old girl and the only
daughter to the former rebel leader in Angola who was killed
during the Angolan crisis by the opposition group.
I am now residing in Banjul, The Gambia as a refugee and my
father before his untimely death left behind a box
containing physical cash Which he safely deposited in a
security vault during his regime in the office and now I
need a foreign business man or woman who may stand as my
guardian and benefactor to this fund by acting as my father
foreign partner so that I can retrieve the money from the
security company and transfer it to the person's foreign
bank account for safe keeping and proper investment to
secure my future.
Firstly, before I will disclose the said amount to you, I
must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction.
This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly
confidential. I am sure and have confidence of your ability
and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great
magnitude. I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer
the said amount into your safe account for onward
investment. You can either provide us with an existing
account or to set up a new bank account immediately to
receive this money, even an empty bank account can serve to
receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me
till the end for this important business trusting in you and
believing that you will never let me down either now or in
future.
As soon as I hear from you, and upon your strong assurance
that you will not let me down once the fund goes into your
account I will then start to process the transfer of the
fund to your account without further delay.
If interested contact me urgently for further details.
