Subject: We do need your assistance please.
Hello Sir/Mdam,
Please we do want you to know in God name that we are contacting you base on this business transaction because someone has to be contacted we know you may wonder why you are chosen or contacted since we do not know each other before but someone has to be chosen please. I am the only son of my late father who was the then owner of diamond coporation in my country the Sierra Leon before he was killed. My late father was a very rich and traditional African who made a lot of money from the sales of diamonds. Before my late father was killed he deposited Ten Million Euro (€15,000,000.00) with a security safe company and my mane was use as the next of kin over here in Ghana. He kept the money in two trunk boxes before he made the deposit and the content were registered as family treasury not cash as not to raise an eyebrow on him. My late father happened to sell diamonds to foreign buyers on shore before he was killed and this way he made fortune to himself. Before the death of
my late father we had already flew from our country to Abidjan because of the civil war and after the death of my late father my late father lawyer brought to us some vital document stating my father kept this money with a security safe company in Ghana and immediately we rush to Ghana for the claim of the treasure and we were told to provide all the documents that was given to my late father by the company at the time my late father deposited the boxes with the company and also my late father death certificate and id to show that I am the next of kin and all these documents were provided by us but there was no way we could claim the boxes since my late father had already registered the boxes unexpressed transfer to leave Africa before he died and it is a pit my mother can not speak English so we need your assistance to help us stand as a foreign partner and a business associate to my late father who will help us receive the boxes and invest this money for us after we come
and meet you. My mother said that if you can help us that after the company transfer the boxes to you that she will give you 25% of the total money in the boxes for your assistance to us and you will also help us to buy a house in your country after we come and meet you.
Best regards,
Dustin and Mother.
