Subject: hello
From : Dr Adams koomson

Dear Freind.
My name is Dr Adams koomson, a political activist and an attorney. I am a
member of my party's executive committee.My aim of contacting you is to
crave your indulgence to assist us in securing some funds, abroad for safe
keeping which incidentally was
kept to help us finance the forth coming elections in 2008.Fortunately with
my immediate assistance, and contact, we were able to deposit the money in a
security vault abroad pending when the fund would be needed.
The need to contact you arose from the fact that the present government is
cracking down on the opposition and trying to trace all the funds that
belong to it, if they succeed in tracing this fund to us, they will seize it
and thereby incapacitating our campaign abilities. We wish to relocate this
fund in a foreigner's name to avoid any trace. All I need from you is an
assurance that you can handle the amount involved (US$52,000,000)
comfortably and that I can also trust you with this arrangement.
Be rest assured that there is no risk involved since I have taken care of
everything. I want you to immediately inform me of your willingness in
assisting and co-operating with us, so that I can send you full details of
this transaction and let us make arrangement for a meeting and discuss at
length on how to transfer this funds. I am able to give you my name without
fear because I got your email address contact from a very reliable and
dependable friend whose judgment I trustn completely, so it would be
appreciated if you can maintain the confidential nature of this letter and
the whole transaction.
Please if you are not interested in this business, let me know in time, so
that I can contact someone else. You can send your reply
through my alternative email address for security measures :
Please contact us for more information. Email to: kdradams@yahoo.co.uk or

Yours sincerely,
Dr Adams koomson
