chamber of commerce and believe that you will treat
this proposal as urgent and very confidential.
I am Mrs ROSE WILLIAM the wife to Dr DOE WILLIAM

leone, who was assasinated by the rebel loyal to Foday
Sankoh the (R U F) leader; I managed to escape my with
the sum of $12.5 MILLION dollars concealed in a
metallic trunk box belonging to my late husband,This
money I discovered in my husband's underground room
while searching for our belonging in readiness to
flee my country for safety.
After his assasination my Husband's friend who
operates a fishing trawler along the west africa
coastal line assisted us in moving this box to Abidjan
Cote d Ivoire where I am presently residing as a
refugee with my son.
This money I deposited with a private security and
trust company here under special arrangement as family
treasure ; The security company does not know the real
content of the box for security resons ; All the
neccessary deposit documents issued to me are
Available and can be sent to you on request.
So all am asking from you is to assist me by coming
over to Abidjan Cote d' Ivoire, and help me to claim
this money from the security company and into a
domiciliary account in your name, here you will open
with any of the international bank for onward transfer
to your account in your country for a profitable
business investment. as a refugee here I cannot open
an account with my name or my son name.
Looking forward to hearing from you.alternative
