Dear Beloveone
This business proposal to you is strictly confidential, with due respect.
Sorry at this perceived confusion or stress you may have receivingthis letter
from me, Since we have not known ourselves or met previously. Despite that,
I am constrained to write you this letter because of the urgency of it.By
way of self introduction, I am Mrs. Sarah Kobe, the wife of late Brigadier
- Gen.Maxwell Kobe former ECOMOGARMY COMMANDER [West African peacekeeping
force in Sierra Leone] who died in the Sierra Leone civildisturbance [War].
My three daughters and I aretrapped in obnoxious custom and traditional
norms.
We have suffered maltreatment and untold hardship in the hands of my late
husband's family, simply because I did not bear a male child [heir apparent]
for my late husband. By tradition, all that my late husband had, [wealth]
belongs to his brothers/family. And myself is to be remarried by his immediate
younger brother which I vehemently refused. They have taken all that I suffered
with my husband to acquire including treasures, houses and his bank particularseized
by them. I wanted to escape to the United Stateof America [USA} with my
children on exile, but againthey conspired and stole my international passport
andother traveling document to further frustrate me.
Thank God, two weeks ago, I received Key Text Code [KTC} from a Security
& Finance Company abroad, that my late husband deposited diamond what of
U.S $31.5 Million [Thirty-one Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars] cash with this company. It has therefore, become very necessary
and urgent to contact someone, a foreigner like you to help me receive/secure
these consingnment overseas after the diamond has been convated to cash
in a reliable bank Account (presumably an empty Bank Account, if available)
and to help invest it on our behalf as well, while we find a way of getting
out tomeet with you in your country.
These consignment are kept on an "OPEN BENEFICIARY MANDATE"
with the Security Company to avoid detection, seizure or diversion. my late
husband attorney have had several telephone discussionswith the Assistant
Director of the security company, who has express willingness to help me
on meeting the company's demands. This is why I have contacted you to help
save my children and I, receive these consignment on our behalf. But, you
would need to give me sufficient assurance that if you help me, you wouldnot
divert the funds. My children and I have resolvedto give you 30% of the
total sum. This is all mychildren and I have got to live on.Please, I have
reposed my confidence in you and hopeyou will not disappoint me. I look
forward to yoururgent response, including your private phone / mobileNo
and also your fax no for easier communication.
NB: The secret codes (e.g Pin No., Secret Access Code)
for this fund are safely kept with me which I can give
you as soon as you express desire to help me.
Stay blessed.
Mrs.Sarah Kobe.
