Subject: FROM MISS SARAH EMMANUEL
Dear One,
It is my pleasure to acquaint you with this proposal for the purpose of
investment in your company.
I am Miss Sarah Emmnauel the only daughter of late George Emmanuel from
Sierra Leone. My late father was a Gold and Diamond merchant based in
Freetown Sierra-Leone. As a result of the political instability of
Sierra-Leone, my late father came to Cotonou Benin republic with the sum of
USD12,500,000.000(US$12.5m) which he deposited in a Financial and Security
Institution here in Cotonou Benin Republic West Africa for security reasons
I am here seeking for an avenue to transfer this money to a reliable and
trustworthy individual for investment programmes.
I am here as a refugee because of the political crisis in my Country Sierra
Leone. Please I would offer you 20% of the total sum of USD12.5m for your
assistance. Please I need to transfer this money urgently because delay
would not help at all and I need to relocate based on the political
instability in this sub-region, to enable me continue my education because i
was medical student before the sudden of my father.
Your immediate response would be appreciated.
Best regards
Miss Sarah Emmnauel.
