Subject: Dear friend,
Dear friend,
I am well confident of your capability to assist me in a transaction for
mutual benefit of both parties, ie (me and you) I am also believing that you
will not expose or betray the trust and confidence I am about to establish
with you. I have decided to contact you with greatest delight and personal
respect. Well, I am faith johnson, wife to Chief Andrew johnson late former
Director of finance,Chief Andrew johnson Sierra-Leone diamond and mining
corporation. Few days before the death of my husband, he confided in me and
ordered me to go to his underground safe and move out immediately, with a
Deposit Agreement and Cash Receipt he made with a security Company in
Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire where he deposited One Iron Box containing USD$ 22
million dollars cash (TWENTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS). This money was made from
the sell of Gold and Diamond by my husband and he have already decided to
use this money for future investment of the family. Thereafter, I rushed
down to Abidjan with these two documents and confirmed the deposit of the
fund by my husband. Also, I have been granted political stay as a Refugee by
the Government of Cote d'Ivoire. Meanwhile, my husband have instructed me to
look for a trusted foreigner who can assist me to move out this money from
Cote d'Ivoire immediately for investment. Based on this , I solicit for your
assistance to transfer this fund into your Account, but I will demand for
the following requirement:
(1) Could you provide for me a safe Bank Account where this fund will be
transferred to in your country or another nearby country where taxation will
not take great toll on the money ? (2) Could you be able to introduce me to
a profitable business venture that would not require much technical
expertise in your country where part of this fund will be invested ?
Please, all these requirements are urgently needed as it will enable me to
establish a stronger business relationship with you hence I will like you to
be the general overseer of the investment thereafter. I am a Christian and I
will please, want you to handle this transaction based on the trust I have
established on you.
For your assistance in this transaction, I have decided to offer you 15%
percent commission of the total amount at the end of this business.The
security of this business is very important to me and as such,I would like
you to keep this business very confidential.If you are willing to assist me
and my only son David Please kindly reply me immediately.
I shall expect your urgent response.
thanks.
