Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mrs. Alivia Edwin the wife of Engr David Edwin a Syrian Industrialist and member of a Syrian businessman in council Damascus. After the death of my husband, my family is under threat of President Bashar al-Assad for Resolute our support for a true Democratic Government in Syria that is why they killed my husband.
Due to the current President Bashar al-Assad protest in the country many families are running for dear lives as their soldiers are killing civilians, women and children. I want to bring to your notice that I have in my possession the sum of $10,500.000 million dollars. This is the money me and my husband have saved for our entire life as an Industrialist. I placed the money in trunk box and deposited it with the UN here in Damascus. My sincere intention in writing you is to gain your kind permission and acceptance to receive the money on my behalf in your Country and also make investment with it. For your permission and acceptance, I will give you 30% commission as well as buy a property for you.
I have to take this chance because I have no other alternative but to trust somebody. Am an orphan with no brother or sister so I cannot risk my life here to avoid an end to my family lineage. As a woman since my husband is dead all I have is my two sons. They deserve a decent life since I want them to grow up in a peaceful environment. I will relocate to your Country with my family and invest the money In accordance with law, your advice and assistance; we can work together and achieve a better future for our families.
Possible, may I request you to send me your information? Only if you are comfortable with this request. This is purely for the purpose of sending the money to you. The information needed is: Your full name, your private phone number, your full address.
I anticipate your positive response and on receipt of your information I will provide you with further details.
Sincerely,
Mrs Alivia Edwin.

PLEASE HELP MY FAMILY.

Dear

I am indeed very thankful for the time you spent reviewing my request and finally making up your mind to write back despite its unusual nature. In the same spirit. My sincere intention of contacting you is to go into a joint venture with you as my partner in your home country or wherever you feel more comfortable to do so. The money for this investment is here in Syria.

However, like I indicated in my last e-mail message, I will give you 30% of 10.5 million U.S Dollars(Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) and then invest the remaining amount in any profitable business venture in your home country or wherever you find more suitable, but this we can negotiate in details much later. Meanwhile you are welcome to define and provide me details of the best investment opportunities you know in your country and other countries. We can run the investment jointly as partners if possible.

For your ready reference, my address in Syria is, Street Address: Abdullah Bin Rawaha Street, Kafar Suseh Damascus. Mailing Address, P. O. Box 3089, Damascus, Syria. My Syrian passport number is: 7105703608, Date of issue 05 Dec 2005, Date of expiration 04 Dec 2017. My personal contact number in Syria is +9656271403. This is a Kuwait number, but I have it roamed and I use it here in Syria for security reasons. However, for security reasons, the best I can do with you now is the email. Therefore, I will appreciate if you don't call me, as it will be safer to communicate by e-mail only, for now. This people here are very wicked.

I am very much aware of the incessant fraudulent e-mails flying around the internet in recent times but however in my local Kalbiyyan tribe of Syria, we have an adage which says that “fakes or sub standards, does not have an origin of their own. They take their source from the originals”. In other words, everything that is fake took its existence from an already existing authentic original. I do not believe that there is anything I would say right now that would convince you of my authenticity if you have made up your mind that this is another scam or that I am a fraud. However if you let me, I would solicit that you give me some benefit of doubt if you may. Do not judge me based on stereotypes. The fact that there is a million letters similar to these out there does not invalidate the fact that there could be a real situation of this nature out there from which these fakes emanated. I could be a fraudster but I could be real too. This is what you have to find out only IF you are willing to find out. But I would like to assure you that this is a REAL situation and that I am 101% real and authentic as you will soon find out. So like I said, I sincerely appreciate your kind response to my proposal, it goes a long way to show how humane you are. However for both parties to be on safe grounds and in order for us to foster this nascent relationship, I would once again solicit that you give me some benefit of doubt. Give me some benefit of doubt, do not pre-judge me, until such time that I have given you a reason to not believe me but amongst all, follow your instincts. If this request can be granted by you, then be rest-assured that we are both on a very clean page.

Having said all that. Basically, I require your assistance to get this fund out of this place so that I can focus on relocating my family from here. Do you think it would be convenient to assist me in this transaction and if Yes, are there any pre-existing conditions? From my own end, If you will help me to receive and invest this money, I am willing to offer you 30% of this sum as compensation for your efforts.
Without being told I would already assume that you are definitely aware of the strict financial and monetary regulations here in Syria. This makes it very difficult, if not impossible to transfer huge amounts of money through T.T(Telegraphic Transfer) from here to anywhere in the world. As such it is a high risk embarking on a bank to bank transfer for a sum of 10.5million USD giving the laws guiding international monetary policies and Money Laundering Regulations. In this light, I have come up with an alternative arrangement of conveying the capital in cash so that you can receive it there on my behalf pending when I will arrive. I hope this can be possible for you? Do not worry as this is not nearly as complicated as it may seem. I have carefully put this arrangement together and my confidence is high that it will work as expected and in safe order too.

The arrangement is thus: every week a UN relief plane leaves Syria to Europe to carry relief items back to Syria. The amount will be concealed in a metal safe and labelled as official diplomatic bag or pouch and transported in a UN air-plane to Europe. This means that the safe will be inviolable, untouchable and like most UN diplomatic deliveries would have a Diplomatic Immunity that guarantees a safe and CONFIDENTIAL transport of the parcel to Europe. Your role would be to stand in as the beneficiary of this parcel and receive it accordingly and every other further arrangement afterwards regarding the investment of the fund would be entirely between my family and yourself. This consignment would be solely under the care of the UN Diplomatic Service until it is safely delivered to you. This is a very straight-forward process really.All I require from you is honesty and total dedication and absolute cooperation throughout this process. With a maximum cooperation from you, all these should be concluded within 6-7 days at most.

If the above arrangement is acceptable to you and if it will be convenient for you to give me the needed assistance, kindly revert back to me and please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have regarding this transaction. I would also solicit that you treat this with utmost confidentiality regardless of whether you decide to proceed or not, for the safety of myself and my children. We await your response as soon as possible.


Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Alivia Edwin.

Dear Sir

Thanks a lot for your kind message and your willingness to assist me and my family in this transaction. We sincerely appreciate your effort and the time you devote in assisting us with this. However, to avoid making silly mistakes or skipping details and to avoid unnecessary errors, I would kindly request that you contact our family lawyer based in the UK, who has been a long term friend of my late husband and has more than enough details regarding this fund and has the entire history with him. I believe its important to have the right guidance before we proceed. He would be in a much better position to provide you with the necessary details and advice on the best way to go about this. I would also contact him immediately to inform him about you.

Kindly contact him as soon as possible and please feed me back on any latest development. Find his details below;
