Subject: URGENT REPLY NEEDED FROM MS. LIMATHA K. MPUTA
My Dear , I feel obliged writing this letter to you. I am not quite exposed to foreign business and friends, I am writing to you with hope and trust that you will be a confidant to me. I am witing this letter to you with the hope that we will later discuss person to person when we meet. I am Miss Limatha Kiswahili Mputa, l was born on Oct. 26-1980 27 year old, second year student in the faculty of Business Administration in Dares Salaam University Of Tanzania, daughter of His late Royal Highness Kiswahili Mputa II, who was dealing largely on gold and crude oil. Prior to the probate of my late father's WILL and last Testament. It was discovered that my father lodged the Sum of $35,000 000.00 (Thirty Five million US Dollars) which is contained in a metallic silver box in a Security Firm in HOLLAND, together with specific instruction to me on how to transfer this money Abroad for investment immediately I graduate from school. This will be a special arrangement with an investor since his intention was to invest the money himself. Among other reasons, my father did not wish this money to fall into the hands of his political enemies, who might conspire to share my inheritance among themselves, that is why I left school and in a hide out for my dear life and where I am seeking asylum. He therefore had his Attorney draw up a document empowering a foreigner that will help me invest this fund into any viable business abroad. If you can agree to assist me by sending to me via email; Your Names, your telephone and fax numbers and your full contact addres for further discussion and little information of a viable business where the money will be invested. I will send you necessary Information through my father's Attorney, in order to effect the release of this money from the security firm and for further deposit into any Bank of your choice abroad for the investments only. My father also indicated that such an Executor who helps me to retrieve this money from the security firm abroad for safety, will be entitled to 30% of the $35 million USD, while 10% will be mapped out for charity and another 10% will be used to settle all the expenses that was incurred during the process of the transaction, then the balance 50% will be for my investments under your supervision. I appeal to you for urgent assistance to enable me effect the Terms of my late father's WILL, in transferring this money abroad, for any good investment of your choice. You will also take care of me and my younger brother's school fees from our money under your management until our agreed years of investments elapses. Please, regard this matter as a help to safe guide our lives and inheritance from the hands of my father's enemies and some greedy extended family members. I wait for your positive response towards my proposal. Kindly reply through my email address: Thanks and God be with you. Regards.Yours truly,Limatha Kiswahili Mputa.
