Hi,

 

My Name is Capt Katherine Lertas a member of a medical team that was deployed to Syria at the beginning of the war in Syria, my purpose of contacting you is to seek your noble help.

 

I met Mrs. Fadilah Rajha a Syrian woman presently in the hospital, her late husband, Dawoud Rajha was killed in the civil war, she is dying of cancer disease, She opened up to me concerning the fund her late husband deposited with a bank in Europe. But due to her health and the recent turmoil in Syria she is urgently looking for a reliable partner to receive this fund and invest part of it on behalf of her little daughter who is still under age.

 

All what she told me is real, but I cannot receive this fund or fulfill her dream due to my position as a military personnel, I want you to be our Partner and so I need your Commitment and diligent follow up to get these funds transfer to your account from the European  bank. If you are willing to assist kindly get back to me so I can give you more directives on how to contact the bank and do the online transfer to your account. I do hope you will give me your trust in carrying out this project which I know will be of benefit for you and me,

 

I appreciate to hear from you as soon as possible, I shall inform you of your percentage and the amount in subsequent correspondent.

 

Regards,

Capt Katherine Lertas
