Good Day,
Compliments of the day. I hope that this letter does not surprise you because
we have not met. However, I urge you to treat the information which it contains
with due and utmost attention. Apart from being eternally grateful to you,
I also assure that you shall be adequately
compensated.
My name is Mrs Mary Koffi. I am the wife of Mr.Noel Koffi who served as
the chief security officer to president Kabah of Sierra Leone. Unfortunately,
my husband was killed During the over throw of 24th December 1997.
I came to know of you in my search of a reliable person to handle a very
confidential business transaction, which involves the transfer of a huge
sum of $usd12 million (Twelve million US dollars) which was deposited in
a finance house ,the former president Tijan Kabah gave him this money for
safe keeping when he got information that the militaries were planning to
over throw him(KABAH).Unfortunately,my husband was killed in that coup detract,
and I am the only person who has all the legal documents to claim this money.
My husband gave me all the legal documents that covers this fund days before
his death. I was waiting for things to cool down before making my move but
the recent crisis in my country has forced me to make the move now.
Now, i and my son is in refugee camp in Nigeria. Right now, the money is
in a safe place.I am using this opportunity to seek for your assistance
to transfer this money into your account to be invested in your country.
All you need to do is to forward to me an account where this money will
be sent to so that I can send my son (MICHAEL)to come over to your country
for investment.
We don't have any business to cover-up, that is why we need your assistance.
If you agree to this proposal, we shall discuss on the parcentage and I
will also forward to you all the legal documents that covers this fund for
confirmation.Please reply me as soon as possible.
I awaits your quick response .
Yours faithfully,
Mrs Mary Koffi/ Michael son.
