Subject: need your kind help
From Mrs Jenifer and Son Usman bello
Dear,
Compliments of the day. I hope that this letter does not surprise you because
we have not met. However, I urge you to treat the information which it contains
with due and utmost attention. Apart from being eternally grateful to you,
I also assure that you shall be adequately compensated.
My name is Mrs Jenifer Bello. I am the wife of Mr.Vincent Bello who served
as the chief security officer to president Kabah of Sierra Leone. Unfortunately,
my husband was killed During the over throw of 24th December 1997
I came to know of you in my search of a reliable person to handle a very
confidential business transaction, which involves the transfer of a huge
sum of $15,000,000.0(15 million US dollars) which was deposited in a Security/finance
house ,the former president gave him this money for safe keeping when he
got information that the militaries were planning to over throw him.Unfortunately,my
husband was killed in that coup , and I am the only person who knows all
about the fund.
My husband gave me all the legal documents that covers this fund days before
his death. I was waiting for things to cool down before making my move but
the recent crisis in my country has forced me to make the move now.
All you need to do is to inform me about your willingness ,so I can arrange
with the finance company for the clearance of the fund. And I will like
my son Usman to come over to your country for investment.
We don't have any business to cover-up, that is why we need your assistance.
If you agree to this proposal, we shall discuss on the parcentage and I
will also forward to you all the legal documents that covers this fund for
confirmation.Please reply with this email address: or mrsjenniferbello@yahoo.co.uk
I awaits your quick response .
Yours faithfully,
Mrs Jenifer Bello
