COMING BACK HOME
Dear Sir,
THE MANAGER / CEO
First and foremost, I wish to express my sincerity of purpose to you and hoping that
you will reciprocate the same back to me. I got your contact in my quest to trace,
realize and achieve my sentimental value to my root of origin. This is the story
of my life as narrated by my foster parents MR AND MRS P.J DICKSON a Briton who
adopted me many years ago from South Africa precisely 1981 when I was a toddler of
a year old baby from an Abandoned Children Home. They took me to the
United Kingdom my present place of abode in the Surrey neighborhoods. A country I
have grown up to know as my home and culture, but that perception is what I
intend to change. That is why my contact to you became imperative.
However it was rather unfortunate that my foster father passed away few months ago
on the 13th of February , he died of Prostrate cancer and was buried 1st of march,
meanwhile the wife had earlier died in 2006.
I was recently going through my late foster father documents in his closet and came
across one certificate of deposit.
The certificate of deposit is of a private security company here in London and it
contains and read as;
1. Cash deposit -1. 850,000.00 pound starlings. (ONE MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND BRITISH POUNDS STERLING)
2. Ornament - Gold jewelries value at 165, 000, 00
3. Precious metal- silver and gold bullion value at 75, 000, 00
I went to the corporate head office of the security company based here in central
London with the Certificate of Deposit and the Deed Of Lodge, which they acknowledged .Now I have to look for a way to divert this Trunk- case and claim it hence my contact with you became indispensable. This is because recently my late foster father's younger sister has visited our house on two occasions accompanied by the family attorney. I do not know her intention but she is acting suspiciously. I want to come back to the country of my birth South Africa . Therefore I plan to relocate back to my motherland and be close to my ancestors and invest. I have been studying closely, events in South Africa via the internet. And I want to come back home to where I belong as a black South Africa .
I want you to play a fatherly and motherly role for me so that this funds I am
repatriating back to my beloved country South Africa , you will conveniently receive it into your account and help me get on into the mainstream of the society. Then invest and marry so that my lineage will not be lost.
For your immeasurable assistance, you will be entitled to 10% of the total funds and a further 5% shareholder stake in the new company I intend to open in South Africa .
You can contact me on my number 44- 702-405- 6741
YOURS SINCERELY
