Dear Friend,

This letter might come to you as a surprise since we have not had any
previous correspondence nor met. This is as a result of the helpless situation I
found myself into. I got your contact during my search for a reliable,
capable and trustworthy person that can assist me in this darkest moment of my
life.
I am a native of Liberia and I lost my father, mother and two sisters
with our family house during this recent war raging in Liberia. I am alive
writing you now from Nigeria where I and other lucky victims who escaped alive
from the rebel attack are like refugees.
No house, no good food, no good job and I just getting assistance from
well meaning individuals and a couple of Nigerians who came back from
Liberia too.
Before my father's sudden death, he kept the sum of US$15,000,000.00
(Fifteen Million US Dollars) in cash with a Private security vault overseas,
which he intended to use for Politics. While my father was alive he
explained to me that he had such fund and had to keep it in a security company abroad due to the unstable polity in
Liberia and considering that he is a politician, he would not want the
Government to seize the money if deposited into the bank in Liberia. Now that he
is late and am the only surviving son, I am writing you to assist me receive this money in your country, invest
it in a profitable business and help relocate me to join you immediately.
As a result of insecurity of life and property here, I do not want to stay
in Africa any longer. You have my permission/authority to have/collect 30% of the funds
on receiving it, for your timely assistance.
Please indicate your readiness to assist me immediately so that all the
information about this fund will be passed to you immediately. Send to
me immediately the following information:
1. Your full legal names including contact address
2. Your mobile telephone and fax numbers for easy communication

As soon as I receive your reply mail I shall give you further
details on how and where to receive the fund on my behalf. The legal documents
will also be sent to you immediately and I shall pass
instructions to the security company to contact you for the delivery of
the funds to you.
With the help of sympathizer I was able to secure a mobile phone which
is very important for me at this stage to enable me transact this
important business for which I am contacting you.
I await your reply
Your friend in need,

Sam Williams
