ATTENTION:
I am Dr.Mrs Munass A.Ejiro. I came across your contact details in my
despirate search for immediate assistance.I have just arrived at Nigeria ,
thinking of how to settle/start life again because I am just
having rest of mind now,since then. after fleeing renewed fighting in
Sierra-leone . Of the 2,030 of us who ran from the village, just 78 of us
made it across the boarder.I lost my husband and daughter during this flight
and I am left with a son.There is a pain in my heart because I haven't see
or heard peace in the last 10 years. Just bloodshed and sorrow. I wonder if
it will ever end.
I seek your help in retrieving money belonging to my husband. My late
husband, DR.Ejiro Ambala, was a devoted family man and a very successful
Diamond /Gold trader in the region of Bo in Sierra-Leone.We were a happy
family of four (4) before the beginning of the civil war in 1991.We were
forced to seek refuge in the neigbouring country of Benin Rep.while the war
was going on,so we hid our life savings in the family tomb and fled.We
returned when we heard news of a peace treaty signed in 1999.
We were decieved.The war escalated beyond imagination and it was nothing but
sorrow,tears and blood the rabels left in its wake. I and my husband sold
our remaining cache of Diamonds /Golds to a Lebanese middle man and was paid
cash for it. The funds were then shipped out of the
country to Europe using the "Diamond /Gold trade Route",which he was very
familiar with(it was how Sierra-Leone Diamonds and Golds ends up in capital
cities of developed Nations).We then make plans to move and settle in Europe
as we were tired of the bloodshed,but unfortunately it was not to be. Our
village was raided.It was during the operation no living thing embarked upon
by the Fonday Sankoh- Led Ruf rabel forces that I lost my husband and
daughter.
Now, I and my surviving son have been going through hell while the funds are
trapped with a security company in Europe.We lost our travelling documents
in our haste to escape the fighting and beside we do not have any money on
us. all We had was lost in the flight out of the worst fighting areas. What
we need now is an individual who have compassion on the poor window of my
type and come to her aid by retrieving this funds from the security company
by means of claiming/clearing the consignment,
This consignment contain the money for security reasons.the funds total at
least US$ 38.5 million Dollars and GB# 7.82 million pounds.This money is
kept with the security company inform of consignment for security
reasons.nobody except me knows about this,I am willing to offer you a
commission for your assistance depending on what is agreed upon by both of
us. I will like to tell you that 10% ofeach said mount goes for expenses.
All you have to do is,send me your Immediate response.All necessary
informations and deposit certificate of the security company will be send to
you when due,and both (secret and answers to preset questions) and location
of security company with this,you can claim the money, they've been directed
to. If you will be able to assist,kindly let me know immediately by replying
me through my e-mail so we can begin procedures at once as my only son is
critically ill.you are free to ask questions where you don't understand.I
eagerly await your favourable response.
