Dear Sir,
My Name is Edward Perez Pedersen, and I am writing you from my home in Santa Clara , about 165 miles east of Havana , the Capital City of Cuba . Santa Clara is known for two landmarks; The famous Revolutionary, the Guevara is buried here; and it is home to one of Cuba 's largest universities, La Universidad Central "Martha Abreu" de Las Villas. This is a compelling story, and I beg you to be patient and read through to the end.
I was adopted in 1964, at age 14 months by Mr. Giovanni Pedersen, the Sugar and tobacco millionaire; some say he also made his fortune from the lucrative illicit drugs trade. My adoption brought so much controversy that Mr. Giovanni Pedersen was forced by his family to put me into a foster home at age 5,where I stayed until maturity, like most Cuban youths.
I dreamt of freedom, which every one here knows is called America ; like most youths, in time, I joined an Anti-Castro group and that merited automatic 24 hours round the clock surveillance by the Secret Police, but this is also normal in Cuba ! My father nevertheless funded my education through the above-mentioned university, where I graduated in Automobile Engineering. I am now a mechanic, making just enough to take care of my wife Vanessa, and 3 boys, Junior, Denis, and Alonso. Sadly, my father died in 1998; left only his wife and family (he died childless), and I was not invited to his funeral by his family, but we mourned him deeply; I had no memory of my real father; But I loved him for his kindness to me; he frequently defied his family to visit me.
His Last Will and testament was read and probated. No mention was made of my family and me. Understandably, I carried on with my life. Two weeks ago, I received a letter from London-United Kingdom a country in Europe , from a Commission, and the contents of that letter put me into shock! I kept the letter for a week without mentioning it to my wife. Eventually I revealed everything to her, apparently my late father Mr. Giovanni Pedersen, had provided for us after all!
Mr. Giovanni Pedersen, had bought shares worth about USD8M (Eight Million Dollars) in 1982, (when I turned 18) and left it in my name over time. My father bought more shares and increased the shareholding to USD22M (Twenty Two Million Dollars) (I am made to understand that the current market value is far in excess of this figure). The letter explained that according to the terms and agreement reached with my late father, the shares were to be delivered to me (The Beneficiary) one calendar year after his death; the Director of Operation of the Commission in his letter apologized to me for waiting so long to contact me, that the information of my fathers death simply did not reach him until a chance newspaper publication alerted him of the fact. I was then invited to come forward to London, to claim my Inheritance! The total current value of my shares now stands at approximately USD32M (Thirty Two Million Dollars) and rising! But this simple invitation to travel to London is fraught with problems! I have no International Passport!
It is impossible to travel out of Cuba, unless with special permission which will of course take months of paperwork to procure. As an Anti-Castro sympathizer, I have absolutely no hope of leaving Cuba legally? The only option is to leave by illegal ferry to the
American Coast of Miami , which is extremely dangerous.
Every one knows that success rate is about 30%, the unlucky get captured and repatriated back to prison. But the rich and the connected have a better chance by using low flying aircraft (which will beat the Cuban Radar) to smuggle themselves out. I therefore desperately need your help! I need you to contact the Commission in London on my behalf, secure the Share Certificates from the Commission, and sell/redeem the shares for the current market value and deposit the money into your Bank Account. Once the money is secured, I will make the usual underground deal to be smuggled out of Cuba by aircraft, to freedom!
There is absolutely NO RISK to you in this transaction; my family and I are the ones at risk... Therefore, I will make no attempt to call you by land-based telephone, which is routinely bugged and monitored by the Secret Police. In consideration of your expenses during the course of this transaction, I freely offer you 20% of the value of my shares, if you are willing to help me recover my inheritance.
Please make your interest known in your reply mail to enable me follow up with more details of the Commission contact address and also more details of the transaction. Looking forward to your urgent response, please kindly reply true my private email box: edwardperez011@yahoo.com
Sincerely,
Mr. Edward Perez Pedersen
