Subject: PLEASE SAVE MY SOUL
Dear Beloved,
I know this letter will come to you when you list expected it due to the
fact that there is no pre information in advance, but due to the urgency
attached to it. As introduction, I am the only surviving daughter from my
mother’s side to late Ronald Lake, who is now late, who died on Alaska
Airlines Flight 261 in January 31, 2000. Reference:
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/.
Most unfortunately for me I came from a polygamous family and a student but
out of school because of this problem. During my parents lifetime, they were
actively engaged in ILLEGAL MINING AND SALES OF DIAMOND,although they had
some legal business as well from where they made enormous wealth. Prior to
my parents death, they left a (WILL) with his lawyer, which was made
available to us upon Observation and conclusion of burial befitting my
parents. And as the only daughter most of the properties were willed to me,
most importantly is the sum of US$17.5M (Seventeen million five hundred
thousand United States dollars} which they mother deposited in a private
security company,this is also among the inheritance from my deceased
parents.
Since introduction of this (WILL) all my father’s relatives have not been at
peace with me, they were not happy how my father assigned all the enormous
wealth to me. They have systematically and forcefully collected from me all
documents of the properties (Willed) to me. Not including this huge amount
of money in one of the security companies which they could not withdraw due
to a court order restraining either party from making withdrawals pending
the determination of a litigation filled by my father's relations
challenging the (WILL) Now since I am too hard for them the (relatives) to
subdue, they were making attempts to kill me so that nobody can stop them
from carrying out their act.
Infact the fear and warning of killing has griped me so much that I could
not bear it anyone, hence I ran away to our my school mates father who is a
military man, with advise of my father’s lawyer to safeguard my life and
this US$17.5 million that was not known to them. Considering my age and
inexperienced in business and investment procedures, please I want you to
help me in taking good custody of this funds and invest it in a profitable
venture.
If you assent to help me in this regard, we shall then discuss what I will
give you in return for your assistance. And you will be required to sign a
Memorandum of Understanding with me upon which you shall proceed to the
official premises of the Security Company to take delivery of the funds for
further investment.
Please put into consideration my in capabilities in some respect, therefore
I would prefer all correspondence to be through Email which is more secret
and confidential, as I can not use my school mate father’s telephone to
avoid jeopardizing my stay there. Every document concerning these funds is
secured, upon request it will be sent to you. Should you not be willing to
collaborate with me in this venture, please inform me urgently to enable me
look for another person.Thanks in anticipation to your positive response.
Yours truly,
Miss Laura Lake.
