REFUGEE QUATERS
VALENCIA -SPAIN
DIRECT PHONE:0034-677-169-726.
ATTN: FAITHFUL ONE,
I know this proposal letter may come to you as a
surprise considering the fact that we have not had any
formal acquaintance before. But all the same I would
want you for the sake of God to give this an immediate
attention in view of the fact that the security of our
lives ,inherited property and future are at stake.
I am SANDRA WILLIAMS AM 23 years old from war ravaged
Liberia but presently domiciled in Red Cross VALENCIA- SPAIN with my younger brother WILLIAMS JR. who is 21 years
old. My father Mr GEOFFREY WILLIAMS who before his
untimely assassination by the rebels was the Director
of LIBERIAN Diamond corporation (LDC). He was
killed in our home town residential house at Bongima along side
two of my other brothers, two house maids and one
government attached security guard. Fortunately for Me,my
younger brother and mother, we were at the government house Monrovia as our mother decided that we stay with her while others go the weekend with my father. As we got the news of the tragedy. We immediately managed to ran into neighbouring
country Ivory Coast for refuge. But unfortunately. As
fate would have it, we lost our dear mother (may her
soul rest in peace) as a result of what the Doctor called cardiac arrest.
As we were coming into this country, we had some
documents of a deposit of $ 10.7m (TEN Million
seven hundred thousand USD) deposited by my late
father in a security and trust company . According to my father, he
intended to use this fund for his international
business transaction after his tenure in office since the government which he was serving the government of CHARLES TAYLOR was having a problem with the international community and citizens alike.but was unfortunately murdered in cold-blooded. We had
located the security company where the money is
deposited with the help of an attorney we were able to
establish ownership in my name as the next of KIN. Please
right now, with the bitter experiences we had in our
country and though the war have officially decleard
over and interim government in place we can not go
back because we don't have any body to stay with,
Coupled with the incessant political upheavals and
hostilities in our country and West African sub regions, we desire
seriously to leave here and live the rest of our life
into a more peaceful and politically stable country like yours.
Following the misfortune that has befallen
our future, We therefore wish that you can help us in the
following regards:
1)To adopt us as your own children as we do not wish to go back to Africa.
2) To provide us with a good bank account to transfer
the money into when claimed from the security company.
3) To help us invest the money into a lucrativ business.
4) To assist us get a college admission
to further our education as it was the wish of our parents before there death.
5) To assist us in getting residential permits for
formal and comfortable stay in your country after the
money must have been transferred into the account you
will provide if you would not adopt us as your children.
Please I know that, this letter may sound strange and
incredible to you, but the CNN and the BBC African
bulletin normally have it as their major news features.
Therefore for the sake of God and humanity
give an immediate positive consideration and reply to
me through my e-mail address or call me through my indicated phone above.
We shall willingly agree to offer you any suitable percentage of the money you
will propose as your compensation for your assistance
with regards to the above if you would not have us as your own children,as we dont intends to share any thing with our would be parents.
Please in view of our sensitive refugee status and as we are still conscious of our father's enemies. I would like you to give this a highly confidential approach.
Best Regards.
Sandra Williams
