Subject: DEAR FRIEND
Dear friend,
How are you? Let me first introduce myself, I know this will come to
you as a surprise, because you do not know me in person. My name is
Hash Mohd Esq, a British and the Personal Assistance/Adviser to a
deceased expatriate and a consultant with an Australian Oil company
(WOODSIDE). I want you to assist me to receive and invest some money
in your company or in any good business in your country, I ask for
your assistance because of its sensitive nature.
My Boss died as a result of cancer of the Bone Marrow. Six years ago,
my Boss successfully executed a contract that worth's $47.3 Million
United States Dollars. A part payment of $35 Million United States
Dollars was paid to my Boss, while the balance of $12.3 Million United
States Dollars stood unpaid before his death. Recently, his bank sent
me a notification letter informing of the existence of the $12.3
Million United States Dollars claim when they got no response from my
Boss. All my efforts to locate his possible relative however proved
abortive,my search for his relative even took me to Africa.
He was a Widower,lost his wife 12 years ago and did not remarried,
most of his properties in Africa were being vandalized by hoodlums and
some overgrown by weeds as there is no one to take care of them. The
crux of this email is that by the end of this month the bank will
divert all unclaimed bill to the Government Coffer Account, therefore,
following my inability to locate any of his relatives, I decided to
contact you so that we can work together as a team to remit this funds
into your account as my Boss's ?next-of-kin?. I will not be happy to
see my Boss?s hard earned entitlements go into wrong use.
As a lawyer, I assure you that this is achievable.I will immediately
source the relevant documents that will perfect the claim, this deal
required trust, confidential and honesty to enable us see it through.
Frankly speaking, this proposal is with the best of intentions and on
successful end you will take 40% of the total sum while I take 60% as
the initiator. If this is workable, get back to me for clarification
on how to proceed next, remain blessed.
Sincerely yours,
Hash Mohd Esq.
