Subject: I SERIOUSILY IN NEED OF YOUR ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir/Madam,
Complement of the Day.
I am writing to you with due respect and with a heavy heart as Iâm in a desperate situation and need your urgent help. My name is Miss Atifat Ahmed from Libya but currently seeking an assulum in a country.
My father who is now dead was a key figure in the Col Muammar Gaddafi regime in Libya before he defected in March 2011 to the opposition side. Unfortunately he was killed alongside 3 other members of my immediate family during the war months after he defected from the Col Gaddafi regime. My father had wanted to relocated the rest of the family before he was captured by Gaddafi's men and latter killed.
Prior to his death, my father visited me to arrange a place for the family and before he left back to Libya, he handed over to me documents of funds he had secretly moved out of the country before the uprising started. The funds are presently under the custody and control of a diplomat whom my late father made a special arrangement with to transfer the funds to a financial institution just 2 months before he was killed.
I strongly believe it will be better for me and safer as well to get a third party, a neutral person from a different country whoâs God fearing that can accept me with the funds and invest them on my behalf for 10 years. The fund is in total of USD7.5M and Iâm ready to part with a percentage of the fund to you.
If you will be willing to help me in this regards, Iâm prepared to also relocate immediately with the funds.
I have received several requests from the financial institution already asking me to present a more mature person who can take delivery of the funds on my behalf.
It has always been my dream to relocate and live outside Africa and I will be grateful if you can be of assistant to help me relocate alongside the funds.
God bless you as I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Miss Atifat Ahmed
