Subject: Urgent
Dear Good Friend,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and secret. Through I know that transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried because you do not know me but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day
I have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction, as well have been reliably and convince of your discreetness and ability handle transaction of this nature.
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am Mr Peter Johnson, former director-international remittance department with B.O.A Bank Ivory Coast in Abidjan, I came to know you through my private search for someone I can confidently trust on, and I have a maximum confidence that we can transact this business.
THE PROPOSITION.
I want you to help me clear/claim this Package that is already in GREECE , I shipped this package through Diplomatic means with the help of my friend, who is a United Nation Diplomat.
The content of the Package is $5,000.000.00, (Five Million U.S. Dollars), all in $100 bills. But the Diplomat does not know that the Package contains money, because I declared as personal artifacts. These funds came out as a result of over invoicing.
This means that no body owns or can claim these funds. But due to my position in the bank then, I quickly arranged for the packaging of the funds in a box and thereafter, it was shipped to the GREECE as personal an artifacts through a United Nation (UN) diplomat for safe keep. Right now the box that contains money is in SECURITY COMPANY.
Therefore, all I want you to do is if you accept this proposal is forward to me or send to me this information’s below.
(1) Your mailing address.
(2) Your private phone and fax numbers.
(3) Your Full name.
(4) Name of your company.
As soon as I receive your wiliness and acceptance reply, I will forward your contacts to the Diplomat, to enable him open up communication with you, and also discuss how and when the Package will be delivered to your home address. Lastly, at end of the transaction, you will get as your share, 25% of the total funds, and I will have 75%. Therefore, if this arrangement is okay for you, try as much as possible to email me so that we can go ahead and achieve our endeavor, and other modalities will be discussed in later period including sending you the keys of the box to you.
Looking forward to receive your reply.
Best Regards,
Mr Peter Johnson
