Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Mrs.Florence Diop and I need your assistance.I am the widow of
Hanson Diop ,former Liberia Minister of Health. My
husband died on May, 12th 2002. After his death the government seized our
properties and frozen our accounts and tried to kill me
and my daughter so we had to move to GHANA also in (WEST AFRICA) where I
and my only daughter are now on political assylum,
things have been so bad.
But I recently discovered through the family lawyer that my late husband
deposited about US$15.5 million dollars in a Finance
Company [Overseas]. I am unable to claim these funds myself because of the
travel restrictions which have been placed on me.
I need your assistance to claim this funds and secure them so that I can
take my family away from the oppression that we now face.
In return for your assistance I am willing to give you some portion of the
money, and I am open for reasonable negotiation on this.
Better still I suggest you tell me exactly what you will like to receive
for your assistance.
I will give you details and proof after I hear from you.Please keep this
confidential as the future of my family depends on this. I hope to
hear from you soon, also kindly send me your telephone numbers, your mailing
address, and your full name so that we can get
started at once.
Take note that I have already told the family lawyer that you are a business
partner to my late husband as well as the authorised
beneficiary of the said funds on behalf of my family.
I shall have you discuss with the lawyer further as soon as I hear from
you. Be informed also that, I will want the money invested in
real estate business in your country, so that me and my daughter can come
to live in your country.
Yours Sincerely.
MRS.FLORENCE DIOP
