Subject: Please kinbdly get back to me,
Greetings in the name of our good Lord to you over there Amen!!
Please forgive my indignation for contacting you via this media. But i have
no option but to write you this mail. I know that my letter may seem
strange, but i pray God that you give it a fair hearing and render your
help.
My name is Mr. Luc Dossa from Benin, i just graduated from the Cavalry
school of Theology where I went for my Pastoral Training. I'm in a kind of
situation here in my country in the city Cotonou, where i'm residing
presently because of my step mother's threat. I need your help.
My father was one of the generals who ruled with the formal president
Mathieu Kerekou for 38 years of active service, and also my father was a
business man who happens to own some filling Stations in one of our
neibouring country in Lome Togo.
My father died in may 2005 in a bomb blast/explosion.
I am the only surviving heir to my father and sometime before the incident
occurred he deposited a huge sum of money in my account worth $16million US
dollars. My immediate problem right now is that of safety of my life,
because of my Stepmother threat.
My stepmother did not have any issue for my dad, and right now she has
collected all of my father's property including the filling stations that he
left for me because she was the Manager before he died. She happens to find
out the money my father lodge in my name in the bank, and right now she
want's me dead so she can claim the money.
This is the reason why I'm writing you to help me to secure a foreign
account where i can lodge this money without delay. My training in Bible
school has made me to understand that all things worked together for good to
those who love God and are called according to his purpose.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. On your reply indicate your
telephone and fax numbers for oral discussion.
If you will assist me i will give you 30% of the total fund of the
$16million, as I will be coming over to your country as soon as this money
get into your account, I want to come to your country to invest my money and
your advise as regards investment plan is needed.
After your reply I will send the deposited Certificate which my late father
used to deposit this fund with the Bank. I will also send an attached copy
of my international passport as soon as you reply me. I confidently await
your urgent response.
God Bless you and your family. Please contact me via my alternate email: (
dossaluc100@gmail.com).
Regards.
Brother Luc Dossa.
