Subject: Seeking your help
Dearest one,
It is with humility I write you this letter which I believe you will give your time and consider as well. My name is Ahmed Sadiq, a Sudanese refugee in Thailand. Prior to the peak of the crisis that is still ravaging in my country and has led to misfortune of our government and my late father's position as the personal aid to the president. We were able to come over to Thailand. We ( my mother and I) inherited the sum of US$7.3M (Seven Million, Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) from my late father. This fund was legitimately earned by my father over several years of hard working. We thought we could get work here and have a good living, and go back home when the United Nations and the African Union have restored peace in our country. We are not allowed to work, we have limited freedom and inadequate food and proper medications.
I decided to contact you because we are looking for a reliable, honest, and trustworthy person who has good business knowledge to help us invest this fund properly. We are also interested in buying a residential property in your country as I will be moving my sick mother for proper medical treatment over to your country as soon as everything regarding technical and logistics details are worked out and ascertained to our respective satisfaction. In view of your participation, my mother and I are ready to give you 15% of this fund for your assistance, or better still commit it into viable joint venture projects. Be assured that you stand no risk of any kind as the fund belongs to my sick mother and me, and I am the beneficiary to the fund. As soon as I get your consent, we will quickly move this fund to your country for investment.
However, upon your acceptance to the content of this letter, you can contact me with my private telephone number and e-mail for more details. We are under the united nation as refugees here in Thailand and my sick mother needs urgent medical attention, hence we need your urgent assistance. I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business ventures will derive a huge success. Please do include you private contact telephone number and private e-mail when replying.
Yours Sincerely,
Ahmed Sadiq
