Subject: Dear Please Your Urgent Reply is Needed.
*Dear Please Your Urgent Reply is Needed.*
**
*Dear Friend,*
*Good Day to you.*
*I hope you are fine? It is my great desire to go into business and parental
relationship with you as i intend to transfer the sum of £5.5 Million Pounds
into your account for safe keeping/investment. I am quite aware that my
message will come to you as a surprise or unbelievable because it is indeed
very strange for someone you don't know to contact you in this regard. I
found your contact online and decided to propose to you. My name is: Miss
Peace Uguma, I am from Democratic Republic of Congo, the only Daughter of
late Mr. Robert Uguma Who died mysteriously in fact he was assassinated by
Poisson. Though his sudden death was rather masterminded by his own brother
who has ego to inherit everything that my father has at all means. Because
my father was a very wealthy politician & businessman. My uncle has sold
almost all of my late father's assets and has used his influence to
confiscate my late father's bank accounts in the country as his only
surviving brother.*
*My mother died 20 years ago while giving birth to my only brother when I
was just 2 years old, and since then my father took me & my brother so
special and was giving us the best of live until his death. Before his death
I and my only brother rushed him to the hospital where he died after few
hours. On his bed he told me and my brother to runaway for our dear lives
for someone is after us, HE SAID (My children please do not bother about
even picking your cloths nor care about any property in the country for now
just runaway, go to my friend Mr. Titalamou and ask him to give you the file
and you kids should run find your way to the Republic of Benin and make sure
we confide in a God fearing person to assist us move the money out of Benin
Republic) I could not understand what file he was talking about until he
opened up he has the sum of £5,500,000. Five Million Five Hundred
Thousand British
Pounds Sterling. Which he deposited in a bank in Republic of Benin, Left in
a fixed / suspense account in one of the prime banks in Cotonou the
commercial city of Benin Republic, that he used my brother's name as his
only son for the Next of Kin in depositing the fund.*
*Now we are in **Benin** **Republic** living in a refugee camp, and we have
located the bank where my late father deposited the money and we have made
our presence known to the management of the bank and explain the situation
to them. As a mater of fact my wicked uncle has find out that we are in
Benin Republic according to my late father's friend Mr. Titalamus, my uncle
might be planning to come here and kill us. Since the death of our late
father things has not been easy with me and my younger brother, we have been
facing trials and difficulty we are suffering so much. Please I contacted
you so that you will help us and see that this money is transferred out of
here into your account as our foreign beneficiary to help us invest the
money and we continue our education while you manage the fund and investment
until we are of age to take over the investment, meanwhile I and my brother
have decided offer you £1,500,000 (One Million Five Hundred Thousand British
Pounds) as gratitude for helping us, while the remaining balance would be
invested by you on our behalf. *
**
*Please assist us clear and transfer this fund into your account overseas as
our foreign beneficiary. As you can understand based on our ignorance in the
business field we cannot handle it alone. The death of daddy actually
brought us sorrow. We need someone to be our Guardian in life that we will
look on to as our parents. Could you honestly help us as your children?
Please let us know your mind and how sincere you accept us. Please it is not
an illegal event and I wouldn't want us to go underground in anything
regarding the arrangement so that we will not lose the fund, everything will
be legally done and I hope that we can realize this within few days.*
*Hoping to hear from you urgently. Please, consider this and get back to us
as soon as possible.*
*Thanks and God bless you.*
*Our sincere Respect,*
*Yours children*
*Peace & Paul Uguma**
