Subject: My Regards
Dear Sir,
My greetings to you.
With warm heart, I offer my friendship, greetings, and
I hope this email reaches you in good faith.
However, strange or surprising this contact might seem
to you as we have not met personally or had any
dealings in the past. I humbly ask that you take due
consideration of its importance and the immense
benefit it will be to both of us.
After careful consideration with my children, we
resolved to contact you for your most needed
assistance in this manner. I duly apologize for
intruding in your privacy, if this contact is not
acceptable to you, as I make this proposal, please
kindly disregard it.
Firstly, I wish to introduce myself properly to you.
My name is Mrs. Shirley Yema Gbujama, a mother of two
children and the former Minister of Social Welfare,
Gender and Children Affairs in my country
sierra-leone.
I will now give you a general view of the situation
When I was sworn in as a Minister of Social Welfare,
Gender and Children Affairs in 1996, my late husband
Anthony Gbujama, is also a very successful diamonds
businessman and was awarded several contracts in my
ministry and had direct dealings with foreign
investors in this field.
Due to my political status, I was not involved in my
husband's business which was very vast and successful.
My beloved husband died whilst on an official trip to
one of his project sites, where they were attacked by
rebels and killed and their corpse were never found.
He secretly deposited two trunk boxes in our neighbour
Hood country Ghana,stocked with money valued at
(US$133.7 Million usd).This money was generated from
cash payments from his business associates in the
diamond trade.
I have decided to have this funds invested by buying
hotels and houses or if possible company in abroad
with your assistance, as i have no other means to
invest this funds without attravting my governments
since no member of my family can hold such a huge
amount of money in our name due to my political
status, hence we sincerely propose to you to render us
your most needed assistance in this regard.
On hearing from you, I will make every arrangement to
workout modality on how best you can receive this
funds in your country for the onward purchasing of the
properties stated but before that you must have the
prices at hand.
Due to my sensitive position in the government now, it
is not safe to communicate with me via phone or fax,
but by email ONLY. This is why I have communicated you
by email, and I would appreciate us to keep this way
for the safety of this transaction,anyway i will
instruct my first son to travel down to Ghana, so that
he can open communication with you.

Mrs. Shirley Yema Gbujama.
