Subject: HELLO DEAR


From: Mrs. Pauline Ankoh Davies,
Please reply me only through my private email
Private email: pauline101@web-mail.com.ar


Hello Dear ,

I know that this letter will come to you as a surprise
but I want you to believe that it is the wish of GOD
for you to help the helpless. God has decided to bless
you and I through this email and I know that he will
touch your heart to assist me if you are actually sent
to me by him.

My name is Mrs.Pauline Ankoh Davis. I am writing you
this mail from the ECOWAS Refugee Rehabilitation Camp
in Corte - D Voire. I am a Sierra Leonine National and
the wife of Late Dr. Johnson Ankoh Davis, my late
husband was the General overseer of Diamond and Gold
Mines in the Kaneina District of Sierra Leon, until
April 16th 2001 when the military forces loyal to the
government of president Ahmed Jijan Kabbah, invaded
the Diamond and Gold Mines and Killed my husband,
mistaking him for his junior brother Mike Ankoh Davis,
who is the deputy leader to the rebel leader of the
revolutionary United Front (RUF) Mr. Friday Sankih.
When the news reached me, I hurriedly gathered some
valuables in our house and escape with my two kids
George & Lynda along with other displaced people to
safety.

We were eventually picked up in a bush on the 22nd of
April 2001 by the Ecomog Soldiers who immediately
handed us over to the International Red Cross Society
in Freetown, Sierra Leone, the red cross society
finally arranged for our safe movement to the Ecowas
refugee camp in Coite De Voire. Presently we are
camped in one of the Ecowas refugee rehabilitation
centers in Abidjan, and the hope of returning to our
home country is not in sight as the war between the
government forces and the rabel forces is still going
on.

Among the valuables I took along with me was my
husbands personal file which contained details of a
deposit of US20.5 million u.s.Dollars my husband
deposited with a security company in Europe as family
teasure, with the name of our son George. Although I
suspect this money was illegally made from the sales
of gold and Diamond mines and was immediately moved to
Europe for safety when my late husband was the general
overseer of the gold and diamond mines in sierra
Leone.He did this because of the presure mounted on
him to leave office by the present regime and wanted
to use the funds for his own personal Gold and Diamond
company which he planned to open in Europe.

Presently as a registered refugee-my movement is
retracted. I have no access and fund to travel to
Europe to negotiate for the release of this
money/consignment, It's under this terrible condition
we are in the camp, I have no other option than to
seek for your assistance good legal agreement, armed
with all the legal document about the money you should
now act on my behalf as the beneficiary, and help me
to sign this money out from the security company if
possible transfer the money to your country where
possibly a small scale industry can be establish with
such an amount under my supervision. I promise to give
you 30% of the amount in question, and 10% share in
any investment we will jointly embark on if eventually
you assist me.

All I need from you is your assurance that my money
will be safe pending my freedom also that you will not
disappear with the money or sit on it and say that you
do not know me again. This is a cry for urgent
assistance and must be kept very confidential. If you
are ready to assist me, let me know via email and I
will give you all the documents which will help you
contact the company in Europe for negotiation and
collection of the consignment. This will take place
after you have writen and signed an assurance letter
to me that my money will be safe with you till my
arrival.

Please reach me immediately via my private email

Thanks and God bless

MRS PAULINE A. DAVIES ( pauline101@web-mail.com.ar )
