Dear Friend,
It wil be a great insult to my personality if you refer to this bussines
propsal.Ever since i was born,i have never been insulted in this way before
because i have been a gentle and a humble man who has always lived a fair
life.My commitment to my job and fair dealings has earned me good image in
my working place for 30years now.You are talking from ignorance,probably
misled by the wrong people i am a family man with two kids and a lovely
wife and a good reputation . I am being insulted by your word SCAM in what i
proposed to you which will benefit me and you.people might be involve in
scam but it will be wrong for you to generalise issues and judge people from
what others did in the past, but my proposal is for the benefit of both of
us which is an opportunity given to me by God to give my family a better
life in the future.
Like I said before,due to this issue on my hands now,it became necessary for
me to seek your assistance, I appreciate the fact that you are ready to
assist me in executing this project.i intend to resign immediately this
project is concluded and invest my part of the money in a lucrative
business.You should not have anything to worry about, I will do everything
legally required with the help of my attorney to ensure that the project
goes smoothly and i will make sure it passes through all Laws of
International Banking, you have my word.
Having resolved to entrust this transaction into your hands, I want to
remind you that, it needs your commitment and diligent follow up.If you work
seriously,the entire transaction should be over in a couple of days.
READ THE FOLLOWING AND GET BACK TO ME:
Firstly, I will want to know precisely the type of occupation that you do
and how old you are, you should note that this project is capital intensive,
this is why I have to be very careful, I need your total devotion and trust
to see this through. I know we have not met before,but I am very confident
that we will be able to establish the necessary trust that we need to
execute this project.I am now in contact with a foreign online bank, I now
intend that you open an account in your name in this foreign bank.The money
would be transfered to your account which you will open in this bank for
both of us, this is the best way,I have found,it will protect us from my
bank. I want us to enjoy this money in peace when we conclude. So you should
listen to my instructions and follow them carefully for a successful
conclusion of the transfer. Also You have to know that I cannot transfer
this money in my name as my bank will be aware that it is from me, this is
where I need you. As a result of this,you will have to open an account in
your name in this corresponding bank. I will obtain a certificate of deposit
from this my bank,this will make you the bonafide owner of the funds. After
this,the money will be banked online for both of us. We can then instruct
the bank to transfer our various shares into our respective home bank
accounts. I will also perfect the documentations with the assistance of my
attorney to give the transaction the legal right it requires.
Before I commence,I will need you to send me a copy of any form of your
identification (Driver's licence,Work ID or International passport). I want
to be sure that I am transacting with the correct person. As soon as I get
these from you,I will commence the paper work with the help of my attorney.
I hope you will understand why I need all these, the money in question is
big and I want to be sure that I know you well before I proceed to give you
all the details to commence the project.I will send the name and the bank
website to you immediately i receive your identification so that you can
commence communication with them.Ensure that you keep this project
confidential, do not discuss it with anybody because of its confidential
nature and my job.
Please reply soonest.
Regards,
Mr.Tan Wong.
