GREETING
With due respect and humility I write this proposal which I believe would be of great interest to you.
I wish to solicit your help in migrating to your country and investing my funds. Briefly, I am a Sierra Leonean National and the wife of late Dr SIMON KONE. Until his death, my husband was the General overseer of the Diamond and Gold Mining Corporation in Kanema, Sierra Leone. On April 6 2001 the military forces loyal to the Government of Ahmed TIJAN KABBAH invaded the Diamond and Gold mine and assassinated my husband, mistaking him for his brother MIKE KONE who is the deputy to the leader of the revolutionary United Front (RUF )FODAY SANKOH.
When the news reached me, I hurried gathered some valuables in our family villa and escaped for my dear life in the company of my only son Johnson. Among the valuables was a file that contained details of a Deposit my husband made in a security company in Abidjan Cote d Ivoire. He deposited US$ 5.5 M ( Five Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) contained in 1 Trunk Box in the name of our son Johnson as containing family valuables. He did not disclose the real contents of the box to the security company. Rather, he declared the deposit as Family Valuables for security reasons.
This is the money he made from the sale of Gold and diamonds during his time as the General overseer.We have dislodged and retrieved the fund from the security company and lodged it in a Bank here. We need your sincere assistance to move this funds out of Cote d Ivoire by providing us with a SAFE BANK ACCOUNT where the fund will be
transferred to for investment in your country as we cannot invest here due to its nearess to our country and the war still going on there. Besides, our Refugee Status here cannot help matters for us. We also ask you to scout for a viable and lucrative business, so that we can invest wisely.
We have it in mind to give you 10 % of the total sum (5.5 million US Dollars) and 25% share in any investment we will embark upon if you assist us. We will also set aside 5% of the funds for ancillary expenses which you will make in course of this transaction- fax messages, phone calls, etc.
This fortune we have revealed to you should remain confidential as it only you who we have told about it.
Note that this transaction is risk free.
May God Bless you as you assist us.
Yours Sincerely,
FATIMA KONE.
