Subject: Dear Sir
Dear Sir
How are you doing?. My intention of contacting you is to solicit your
assistance for a project,
whichwill be mutually beneficial. Though I know my decision to contact you
is to a large extent
unconventional, the prevailing circumstances necessitated my action and I
know this mail will
come as a suprise to you but from a sincere heart with honest desire for
your assistance.
In a brief introduction, My name is Kevin williams from Sierra Leone.It is
my pleasure
communicating with you for the first time and believing that it will lead to
a better
relationship between us. I have an inheritance which was left for me by late
father but
the bank said they were instructed by my late father during depositing of
the money,that
it is only his business partner that is authorised to withdraw the money
because of my age
when he made the agreement with the bank but now my father is late and was
killed by this
his partner who was suppose to withdraw the money and give to me according
to mylate father's
instruction and because of this, I am afraid and of contacting the man or
letting him know I
want to withdraw the money and I will never let him know about the money or
call him. So right
now I have explained to the Bank Manager incharge about the situation and he
said I should
introduce another business partner of my late father to withdraw the money
for me transfer
it to their country immediately and base on this, I checked through your
country profile in
our chamber of commerce and saw your details and I decided to contact you
for this assistance
since I have the plan to come and settle down in your country and invest. I
will please want
you to stand as my late father's business partner in claiming the money from
the bank where
it is right now. And please I also want to let you know according to the
Bank Manager, that
this will involve a little expenses because the Bank said my father's
partner will have to
make a change of beneficiary and as well as obtain the remittance clearance
documents from
the Ministries concerned so that all the inittial documents of the deposit
will read your
name befor remittance to your country and the total amount in the account
for withdrawal is
US$60.5million.
Note that I resolved to compensate you with 30% of the total sum if only you
can assist me
faithfully to claim the money and assist me also in investing the money in
any lucrative
business in your country or anywhere in the world you may deam ok and every
expenses incured
in moving the money to your country account, will be refunded with interest.
Further to this, please I will give you more detail and forward all vital
information to you as soon as I hear from you. Note also that the Bank
Manager said I should
give you his private telephone number to call him incase you find it
necessary for any reason.
Please respond to this mail through this email address: kevina11@live.fr
Regards as I urgently await to hearing from you.
Kevin williams
