MATERNITE LAGUNE
C/118 Atinkanmey Cotonou,
REP DU BENIN.
Dear Sir / Ma,
I have a business proposal, which I know might interest you. My name is Dr.
Dessouza Paul a medical doctor and the sole proprietor of the above
specialist hospital. I have a widow by name Mrs Joy's Martins here in my
clinic who is on a political asylum in Cotonou, Rep Du Benin, Refugee Camp,
she has been so ill for some couple of months now.
This woman confided in me based on the free medical attention I have been
giving her and her children. She had revealed to me of her life history and
about her late husband who was a top military officer in one of the West
African country (Sierra-Leone) before his death during the civil war and the
fortune she inherited from her late husband. She has asked me to source a
credible and trustworthy partner abroad who will manage her funds for
investment, the sum of Fifteen million US Dollars (US$15m) and 185Kg of
Aluvia Gold dust which her late husband deposited in a safe Security Company
based in EUROPE.
I wish to choose you for this venture and I believe you will be in the
position to assist in managing this large sum in a profitable venture and
also to help create a safe heaven for her and her children by making a
residential arrangement for them in your country.
After she had disclosed this information to me; I saw the reason to request
from her to allow me see the documents relating to this deposit of which she
did; now I have the documents covering the deposit.
I am obliged to assist this Woman knowing too well that she has a limited
knowledge in the business world and as such she cannot manage this funds
herself here in Africa in order to avoid any trace of her by the government.
I will need from you a mutual understanding and then we shall make plans on
how the funds would be secured into an account in your name after which you
will arrange and travel down here immediately to meet with the security
company for release.
This amount is contained in a sealed trunk box and it is registered and
declared as containing family treasures, so even as I am writing you now the
security company is not aware that this trunk contains money in cash.
From my discussion with her, she has agreed to give you 25% of the total sum
and 5% will be set aside to cover all expenses incurred during the
transaction, then the remaining 70% will be invested with you for a big
profit.
This has to be discussed upon the receipt of your quick response.
Thanks and God bless for your understanding.
Sincere regards,
Dr.Dessouza Paul
(On Behalf of the family)
