Subject: MY GREETINGS TO YOU
#226, TAYO RIMI,
MEDINA,
DAKAR, SENEGAL.
My Dear Friend,
Compliments of the season.I did like to send to you the best wishes of
good health and success in your pursuits particularly through my
proposal as contained in this letter. i may not wish to disclose how I got
your email address for now. After due deliberation with my son,I decided
to forward to you this business proposal, we want you to assist us .I
will give you more information. As to this regard as soon as you reply.
I am Mrs. Rita Diatta . I am contacting you with the hope that you
will be of great assistance to me, I currently have within my reach the
sum of 14.3 million U.S dollars cash which I intend to use for investment
purposes. I therefore personally appeal to you seriously and
religiously for your urgent assistance to move this money in to your country
where I believe it will be safe since I cannot leave the country due to the
restriction of movement imposed on the members of my family by the
Senegal Government.
This money came as a result of a payback contract deal between my
husband and a Russian firm in our country.The Russian partners returned my
husbands share .Presently, the Government has intensified their probe
in to my husbands financial resources which has led to the freezing of
all our accounts, local and foreign, the revoking of all our business
licences and the arrest of my First son.
In view of this I want to acted very fast to withdraw this money from
one of our finance houses before it will be closed down.My husband
deposited the money in a finance firm for safe keeping . No record is
known about this fund by the government because there is no
documentation showing that we have such funds.
Further more, my elder son have been in detention in the last four
years following the death of my late husband for charges of State organized
murder and corrupt practices which my husband died in detention. My son
was just been released by the Supreme Court after the president
brokered a deal with my family regarding his freedom. and he is still under
interrogation about my late husband's assets and some vital documents.
Due to the current situation in the country and government attitude to
my family,I cannot make use of this money within, thus I seek your help
in transferring this funds out for investment than leaving the fund
here and to invest the money to profit my family Bearing in mind that
you may assist me.l have decided to part with 25% of the total sum.
I am seriously considering to settle down abroad in a friendly
atmosphere like yours as soon as this fund get into your account so that I can
start all over again if only you wish. I shall ask my son Mohammed to
come over to your country to liaise with you. If this proposal satisfies
you. please do not let me out to the security as I am giving you this
information
in total trust and confidence.
Please kindly reply by return mail and please include your personal
telephone and fax numbers. Conclusively,we have decided part with 25% of
the total sum. of the total sum,10% will be for expenses incurred during
thecause of this transaction, while 65% is to be held on trust by you
until we can decide on a suitable business investment in your country
subsequent to our free movement by the Senegal Government.
I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith.
Your URGENT response is needed.
Regards and God Bless you.
Mrs.Rita Diatta.
