I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment I, am receiving
from my step mother. She planned to take away all my late father's treasury
and properties from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Father.
Meanwhile I wanted to escape to the Europe but she hide away my
international passport and other valuable traveling documents. Luckily she
did not discover where I kept my Father's File which contains important
documents. So I decided to run to the refugee camp where I am presently
seeking asylum under the United Nations High Commission for the Refugee here
in Dakar, Republic of Senegal. I wish to contact you personally for a long
term business relationship and investment assistance in your country.
My father secretly deposited the sum of US$3,423, 000.00 in one of the prime
bank here in Senegal in custody of my name as the next of kin. However, I
shall forward you with the necessary information of the deposit on
confirmation of your acceptance to assist me for the transfer and investment
of the fund in your country. As you will also help me in an investment, and
I will like to complete my studies, as I was in the school, before the death
of my father in Sierra Leone.
It is my intention to compensate you with 5% of the total money for your
services and the balance shall be my investment capital. This is the reason
why I decided to contact you. Please all communications should be through
this email address only for confidential purposes. As soon as I receive your
positive response showing your interest to help me out,I will put things
into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an
urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this
transaction sincerely.
I am staying at the female hostel.Awaiting your urgent and positive
response. Please do keep this only to your self please I beg you not to
disclose it a third party till I come over, once the fund has been
transferred into your account. I hope my explanation is very clear but if
you need further clarification, then send in your questions. I will try to
scan my picture to send in my next mail.
Thanks as I hope to receive from you soon.
Yours Faithfully!
Miss. Veronica Richard Attipoe
