Subject: SINCERE REQUEST
Dear Friend,
Is my pleasure for writing you this letter, hope you are fine? I want to use
this opportunity to introduce myself well to you, I am Ben umar, The son of
a late Chief Agyman Umar of D R CONGO, I came to know you in the course of
my search for a reliable and God fearing partner and I decide to contact you
because I believe you are a reputable person and I felt you can help us over
this confidential matter.I count on your integrity and honesty to be able to
handle this business. I have a trunck box that contain $15.5million U.S
DOLLARS which is already in USA.
We are ready to give you 20% from the total money because that was the
initial agreement we have with my later father partner, Mrs. Juliet Lerman,
the consignment is right now in the state, my Late father business partner
Mrs Juliet Lerman, who was to receive this consignment containing the money
could not be located at the long run. We have been trying to reach her for
the past three days since the consignment arrive at america, But there is no
response and we dont really know what happen to her so we need your help to
receive this consignment on behalf of the family. Please be honest to us we
are counting on you, and all charges has already been paid by my Late father
partner.
The director of the shipping company just inform us yesterday that if we can
not provide our father business partner within this period of time, that the
consignment we be return back to GHANA, so we need you to stand as my family
trustee to receive the consignment in america. If you are willing to help us
receive this consignment, all you just have to do is to contact the shipping
company here in Ghana so that they can give you instruction to their agent
holding the consignment in america.
If not for God they would have return the consignment back to Africa but God
has been helping us. Please reply my mail so that I can give you the contact
of the shipping company to discuss with them on the release of this
consignment to you and as I told you all charges have been paid, all you
just have to do for us is to receive this consignment. And that reminds me
the shipping company does not know the content of the boxes, because it was
deposited as a family treasure.
Regards,
Ben umar For the family.
Please do get get back to me with my personal email,
ben_umar@excite.com.
