Subject: Hello.
Dear friend ,
My Name is Mr.Abdulla Hassan,I will attached some of my personal photos to
my next email. It is for this same reason I have randomly searched through
the internet email directory to find somebody who has the predisposition to
accomplish the task of passing on a privately kept fund of ($18,000,000,00)
million dollars to charitable organizations, since I cannot do this myself
due to my failing health.
It was my perosnal search that yielded your contact email address with which
I sent you my this email. Note that this was just a probing move to
establish contact, because I am sure you know as well as I do that most
people would snatch at the offer considering the large amount involved and
more also since the disbursement of this fund would be entirely in the hands
of the claimant.
For this reason I felt that after our initial communication I should be able
to determine if we can precede based on certain indices as well as intuitive
feeling I would deduce.I hope my first email did not embarrass you? If it
did, I apologize for this. The fund in questions is privately kept and I
wanted to put it in capable hands for disbursement.
Other such funds that I left to my relatives to disburse to charity were all
plundered and used for their personal purposes. For this reason I have
decided that within the confines of my hospital room and the privacy of my
computer (to which I have internet connection) to look for a suitable person
to transfer ownership of the deposit to,and after claiming the money,
disburse 80% of the $18, 000, 000,00 to various charitable organizations of
your choice in variouscountries and then retain 20% of the money for your
effort,and expensies if there is any.
The $18million dollars is physical cash in a private Diplomatic/security
company in europe. This is not a business proposal and I do not expect any
returns or share of the money. I am dying and I have distributed most of my
earthly possessions to various individuals, groups and organisations.This
deposit of $18 million dollars is the bulk of what is left. It is unknown to
my other relatives. If I do not find a suitable person to disburse the funds
as I plan to, then on my death the Diplomatic/security company holding the
deposit would have to notify my next of kin to claim the deposit as
stipulated on the deposit agreement. And from what I have seen of how they
spent
the other funds I designated for the same purpose, leaving the fund in their
care would be a colossal waste of all I have worked and lived for.
If you would be able to help me fulfill this last living request, I would
need you to get back to me on the following issues so that my Attorney can
Proceed with contacting you with the Documents.
1. That you are in a position to be trusted and GOD fearing person with such
a large amount of fund, and that you have a heart for charity and thus would
not have any problems locating the right charity and human aid groups to
disburse the fund to.
It would be nice to know what charities you have in mind to donate the money
to.
2. That you are willing to contact the finance company holding the deposit
to discuss the terms of releasing the funds to you.
3. That you fully understand this transaction up to this stage and you are
ready to proceed under these terms.
4.How old are you and do you have a family?
5.Please this is very important i do not inform the security company of the
exact content of the funds,all we declared was personal effect and family
tressures insured for the tune of $18,000.000.00(Eighteen Million United
State dollars).For this
simple reason i will need your co.opreatin to keep this transaction very
secreat and confidencial.I have a contact right there in the security
company that can assist you to secure the release of the Funds.
Please send your full contact details, full names,phone and fax numbers as
well as your address. I will need to send your contact details to the
finance company
regarding the release of this funds to you, await your response to the
issues raised here.
I await further communication.
Yours Faithfully.
Mr.Abdulla Hassan.
