SAO TOME ISLAND,SOUTH ATLANTIC OCEAN.
Dear Partner,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. I sincerely ask for forgiveness for i know this may seem like a complete intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is my option of communication.
This note might seem strange or probably untrue considering the amount of junk mails we receive daily, but i believe this is still the most genuine way of contacting a true character like you.
I will introduce myself as Mr. Joseph B.Morgan a son of Dr.Morgan Barker an African who works with the "OPEC" before he died in the year 2004, as a result of one of my brother's brutal murder in Saudi Arabia by unknown gun men. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death my mother decided never to re-marry or get a child outside her matrimonial home which my culture is against.
However, the most painful and annoying part of it is that my father's relatives has been on my mother's neck. They said she was behind my father's death which is never true. They sent her packing and threw her out of her matrimonial home which she have suffered for with my late father for so many years.This is one of our urgly cultures which i never liked where a man dies, the relatives of the man will take possession of the man's properties until the first son is upto 35years.She have nowhere to go to, so she decided to go back to her motherland to stay with her family in SAO TOME ISLAND via offshore Africa in South Atlantic Ocean to get herself organized and carter for the rest children.
Before my father died, he made me to understand that he deposited the sum of $52 million (Fifty Two Million U.S. Dollars) with a security company.He told me to look for a person or company in overseas and not from our place to assist and claim this fund for investment overseas espectially in your country.He warned me not to allow any of his relatives to know to avoid them confistcating it also.
We have interest in Aviation industries,Stocks,Tourism,Hotels,Agriculture,oil and gas.Please, I hereby request for your urgent assistance to help my family in investing the money as a partnership investment with your company or any investment that both of us will benefit from it. Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the security company. I don’t want my father’s relatives to know about this development.
Please tell me in confidence, can you handle it? Can you invest this huge amount of money successfully on behalf of my family? Please advise most urgently.
In a short time, we will arrange how you will go to the company and claim the fund which was deposited by my late father.
I will issue you a letter of authority that will empower you to claim this fund with other related documents if you are ready to work with us.
Upon your acceptance of this offer,we shall discuss about your share in this transaction.
Waiting for your urgent response.
Yours in Sincerely,
Mr.Joseph B.Morgan
