NIGERIAN FRAUD E-MAIL OFFER # 7
(Note:

From:
"lane Quar"
Subject: Fwd: assistance
Dear XXXX (Intended victim)
Although we have not met, I got your contact through the
Internet and decided to contact you for assistance. I was, until
recently, a Medical student of the University of Sierra Leone,
West Africa. Early in January this year, the rebels in my
country struck our township and killed my parents in one of
their attacks. My late father, King Amonoo Davies-Goodwill,
being the King of the Town was a prime target.
Fortunately for me, I was in school when the attack took place.
I equally lost my only sister to the rebels. When I got home for
the remains of my parents and the subsequent burial that
followed, I discovered a document indicating that my late father
had deposited some $15.5M United States Dollars (Fifteen
Million, five hundred thousand US dollars) in a security company
in the Gambia. My late father meant this money, according to the
document, for the building of an ultra modern hospital for me,
when I complete my studies.
Upon the discovery of this document, I traveled to the Gambia to
trace the Security Company and to make claims for the said money
as the only surviving next of kin to my father. But
deliberately, I have decided to keep all my uncles and Aunts out
of the issue as none of them will be happy to know I am in
possession of such money
I have succeeded in making the people at the
Security Company believe that I am the next of Kin and all the
documents related to it are now with me. I do not know what to
do with it but I have decided to contact you to seek your
assistance in helping me to take it out to your country or
through your account and help me to come to your country to
continue my education and so that you will help me to get the
money invested until such a time that I will be ready to begin
to use it. I am really desperate as I am left alone now in the
world. Let me know what you want as compensation for helping me
to solve this my problem.
Most importantly, I seriously appeal that you
maintain high level of secrecy and confidentiality in the whole
thing. I remain yours sincerely,
Charles Davies

Dear XXXXl (Intended victim)
Glad to receive you mail at last and welcome back to your
station.
This money is cash inside a box and is securely kept in a rented
safe. I have access to it because it is my property, but
the truth is that the management of this company are not aware
of the true content of this box as it was tagged Family
Treasure. Reason been that we don't want them or any other
person aside my late father then for security reason. you can't
trust black African so much with regards to money. I need you to
be here because I would not like to visit this company more than
once and that will be to take my box, As soon as you are we wil
go together to collect this box and straight to your hotel or
the apartment where I am staying.
You will open an account here in Gambia on your name and or it
can be taken along with you cash in a suite case but informed
that I am not expirience in all these ideas of mine, So be
asured that you are in control of treasure so be ready to be in
control of ideas. Gambia is a tourist country and most account
are owned by foreigners because the indigenes are very poor, and
very complex of whites. There are foreign banks like Trust Bank,
Standard Chattered Bank, Some other ones.
You better consider the urgency of this project.
Thanks
Charles.
