Subject: Needs Your Urgent Consent.
Good Day,
My name is David Coleman. I have the privilage to communicate you this few lines of missive. However, I want to be very brief. I hail from Liberia, but now stucked in Cotonou, Republic of Benin due to some inevitable circumstances beyond my control. It is on this note that I seek your urgent assistance. My late Father Major General Coleman deposited the sum of US$8,000,000.00 as consignment with a Security Company here in Cotonou without the Security Company knowing the content of the consignment, he decleared the content to be Personal Effect valued for US$8,000,000.00 (Eight Million US Dollars Only) I got this information as I was searching his documents in one of the brief cases. He minuted on the diary "deposit of eight million cash as consignment" with this information I managed to get to Cotonou for collection of these consignment but the Security Company refused to release it to me. They told me that my father left an instruction that the consignment belongs to foreig!
n
business partner of his whom he will give them his/her name when he/she is ready for collection of the consignment.After my persistent visit to The Security Company, they requested that i give them the name of my father's business partner abroad for them to release the consignment to him/her as per the instruction contained in the deposit file. It is on this note that I seek your consent to enable me present you to the Security Company as the business partner of my late father so that the consignment will be released to you immediately.I will want to on your reply to this mail to provide me with your full name and phone/fax number so that i will give it to the security to contact you immediately.Modalities for compensation can be discused after you have collected the consignment while you arrange for my coming over to join you in your country. Unfortunately I am the only one left in our family, both my father and my mother died during the war and I am left alone. I am now an
orphan and this is the only hope I have in life.Please I am waitng to have your positive response on this mail.Yours sincerelyDavid Coleman
