Subject: SEEKING YOUR DUE CONSENT.
Dear Friend,
First, I must apologize if my mode of first contact is not acceptable to you and also solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly private and top secret.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried
My Name is Silvia Litana,I am the only daughter of late Mr. and Mrs Fred Nzinga Litana who was assassinated in 2002 during a political unrest that engulfed my Country Zambia recently. They where shot to dead my unknown Person(s) who where accusing him of funding and sponsoring a factional Political group with his money. So in respect of this they came to our House and shot everyone dead including my two younger Siblings by then I was not at home,But fortunately my Father did not die instantly that day. It took him three Months later after that incident before he finally gave up the ghost.
Before the death of my father, on October 28, 2002, in a private hospital, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has the sum of Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States(US$15.5Million dollars he deposited it in a Finance and Security company here Dakar Senegal. with my name as next of kin to the fund.
Now, after the recent crisis that burst up in my Country I ran to Senegal where my father deposited the fund and seeked asylum, that is how I now went to stay in the a Refugee Camp. So that is where am currently staying for now. But the problem am encountering now is that when I went to the financial holding company to withdraw the money. I was made to understand that with my status as a refugee I can not be able to clear the fund, but can do so with the help of a foreign partner. They told me that the local law hear does not Permit a refugee to operate any business at all, nor transact a fund of such magnitude.
So please dear, I am pleading, if you can help me and stand as my nominated next-of-kin and withdraw the fund for me (USS15.5 Million Dollars) to your account in your Country and I will be very glad to
Please once can help me with this project, I will offer 15% percent of the money then after I will
Come over to your Country to start up a new life. And also go into any profitable business you will advise me to do.
Please you can reply me with this alternate email address slvlitan4@inbox.com
as it is the most confidential for me at the moment
I will be waiting to hear your favourable response.
Sincerely,
Silvia Litana
