Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2005 13:26:03 +0000
Subject: I need your help.
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 Sylvia Litana,I am the only dauther of late Mr. and Mrs Frederick
Litana who was assisinated 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, in October 28, 2002, in a private hospital,
he secretly called me on is bedside and told me that it has the sum of five
million, five hundred and thousand United States(USS5,500,000)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 United States Refugee Camp.
So that is where am currently staying for now. But the problem am
encoutering 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
forieng partner. They told me that the local law hear does not Permit a
refugee to operate any business atall, nor transact a fund of such
magnitude. So please dear, I am pleading, if ou can help me and stand as my
nominated next-of-kin and withdraw the fund for me (USS5,500,000) to your
account in your Coutry and I will be very glad to
Please once can help me with this project, I will offer 15% percent of
themoney 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 as it is the most
confidential for me at the moment. sylvia_litana1@yahoo.com
I will be waiting to hear your favourable response.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Litana
