SORRY FOR BOTHER YOU DEAR ......... ,
I'm very sorry to bother you with my E-mail.But I want you to understand that I truely need your assistance to this great offer I'm offering you from the source of my mind.Before anything I want to use this opportunity to introduce myself.
My name is Miss Swann williams, I am 22 years old from Sierra Leone,I am the only daughter of my parents. My father died on Brutal war by the Rebels During the Renewed Fighting in our country, but it has formed consistent headlines in the CNN, BBC news bulletins, and my sick mother at hospital where she was admitted for Cancer treatments, she also gave up when she heard about the news of the death of my father in two days time and hospital where she was (General Hospital here in Sierra leone),may their gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
presently I and my brother are residing inside refugee camp in Dakar Senegal as i do not have anybody nor family to take care of us,please if you can adopt me as your Child or business partner if possible and manage this money for me.
Before the death of my father, he had willed part of his Real Estate and the total amounts of(€ 5,500,000.00) (Five Million five hundred thousand euro ) to me. Now at his death,and because things have become very hard for me taking care of my and my Brother needs, so, I went to the Bank in Dakar Senegal where this money was deposited wan my brother was sick.
I was shocked when the Manager of the Bank explained to me that I will not be able to withdraw from the money because am a refugee,and my Brother death in refugee camp, the Manager of the Bank told me to seek for someone that will help me, in the claim as i am a refugee by status,that is reason why I am contacting you to stand for me and claim this money on my behalf.If I can trust you, I will need your assistance in this regard please. I will provide all necessary documentation of my late father to show the Bank.
As soon as I hear from you I will send you the Bank contact information, so you can contact the Bank for the payment of the money in to your Account. Should you be interested in helping me, please write back to me.
I hope that we shall discuss how you want remunerated when you get back to me.For my part, I shall be more than willing to part with 35% of the total sum to you while 10% will be mapped out for any expenses to receive the money from the Bank where this was deposited that is to let you know that you will help me both financially and with your honest mind to enable me get the necessary documents that would back this deal.
Yours Truly,
Miss Swann williams
