My Dear,

Please this project is confidential.

I am Mrs Regina Ochale citizen of Liberia,widow and legitimate their to
the late former Minister of finance who was assassinated for been working
with the ex-president Charles Tellor in Liberia.

I inherited a total sum of 7.3 million dollars from my late husband, The
presure from my decease husband's family for this money has compelled me
to leave Liberia and have the money which is concealed in a metallic trunk
box is deposited with a security and finance company Cote d'ivoire under
a secret arrangement as a family treasure.

This means that the security company does not know the content of this box
that was shipped from the Liberia to Cote d' ivoire under a diplomatic coverage.

My purpose of asking for your assistance boil down to the fact that I don't
want my late husband's family to be aware or name involve. And the deposit
statement of the box authorized the company to make this box avaliable for
shipment on request only to my foreign bussiness
representative, though unname.

Hence I want you to contact the the security company as my bussiness partner,
after receiving the prove from me to enable the company release the consigment
to you diplomatically, while I join you on the arrival of the box.

I have recently paid all demurrage ,storage charges and the shipment fee,
all you need do is to help me contact the security company and introduce
yourself as my bussiness partner ,requesting the shipment of the box.

And as soon as Diplomatic shipping agent approved the shipment and tell
you the arrival date of the box then I will join you to give you 20% of
the money instantly before I go on with the proposed investment in your
domain provided is secured and investment friendly. Please if you are interested
and willing to represent me as my bussiness partner kindly write me as soon
as possible.

I await your urgent response. True my alternative email address above.

Best wishes,
Mrs.Regina Ochale.
