Subject: Very Confidential.
Greetings,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going to business relationship with you. I got your contact from the International web site directory. I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to it's esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me, as a reputable and trust worthy person I can do business with and by their recommenddations I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.
I am Doris jonhson, the only Daughter of late Mr and Mrs jonhson. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in South Africa, the economic capital
of South Africa before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business deal.
When my mother died on the 21st October 1989, my father took me and my younger brother special because we are motherless. Before the death of my father on 30th June 2000 in a private hospital here in South Africa. He called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $20 TWENTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) left in a suspense account in a LOCAL BANK HERE.
He used my name as his first Daughter for the next of kin in deposit of the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance him from the deal they had that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose,
I am seeking a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or set up a new bank account immediately to receive this fund,
or you can help to seek an honest and reliable businessman who can assist us.
I suggest we start the first transfer with ten million Dollars
[$10,000.000] and upon the successful transfer of the first $10 million
without hitches or disappointment from you, I shall re-apply for the
remittance of the balance of the fund to your nominated account. I am
only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be
approved for a local account here.
And i will like us to meet face to face to get acquainted,as the fund in
question is a large one before we commence with the transfer. I will
also want to know you well and therefore you are expected to send any
of your Identification.Even though the transaction will be based on mutual trust.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine
Moreover, we are willing to offer you 20% of the sum as compensation for effort input after the successful transfer of this fund to your designate account.
Anticipating to hear from you soon. Thanks and God Bless.

Miss Doris jonhson
