>From Mrs. Janet Jabata
Rep of Sierra Leone
Email address; mrsjanetjabata@walla.com
My Dearest ,
With due respect and humility I write you this proposal which I believe
would be of great interest to you. I am Mrs. Janet Jabata, a Sierra Leone
National and the wife of Late Dr Edwin Jabata of the blessed memory.
Prior to my husband assassination by the rebel forces loyal to FODAY SANKOH,
he was the Director General National Gold Diamond Mining Corporation of
Sierra Leone. Two days before my husband was assassinated, he instructed me
and my only son Timothy to move out of Sierra Leone immediately. Before the
powerful Economic Community of West African States (ECOMOG) forces
intervened which eventually resulted into a brutal civil war.
I and my son managed to escape to Rep of Nigeria. Through the help of my
husband's friend who is a traveler. We came into the Country with almost
nothing rather than some jewelry which we have sold to keep body and sold
together. Though, my late husband of blessed memory has a cash sum of U$8
Million (EIGTH MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) in one trunk box which he
deposited with a private security company in Europe with my son's name
(Timothy Jabata) which he intends to use in purchasing Gold Diamond Mining
machines before his sudden death.
For your information, he did not disclose the real content of the box to the
security company and he does not wish them to know this under any
circumstances. Rather, he deposited the box as containing family valuables.
Meanwhile, I want to leave Nigeria entirely but my concern is this money for
investment in your country because of the stable political situation and
mostly for the future of my son. Right now I am seeking for foreign partners
who will assist me retrieve and serve as the guardian of this fund with whom
I can plan the best way to move out this fund for investment purposes which
is my motive for contacting you.
Moreover, you are requested to assist in the following areas: That you will
be required to negotiate on how best to transfer this fund without
attracting much taxation. That you will assist in providing me and my family
a permanent residence / Resident permit in your country after this money has
been transferred to your country.
That you will be responsible in advising us to invest this fund a viable
venture in your country. That you will pay a short working visit (2 days) to
meet with me and my family face to face here. to enable us establish a
personal contact with you to ensure some amount of confidence between us.
We have it in mind to reward you handsomely for your assistance. We are
prepared to give you 30 % of the total sum and 35% share in the total
investment to be made. Do not hesitate to contact me or my son Timothy
immediately you receive this message so to enable us proceed in earnest
towards concluding this transaction. Alternative email:

Please ensure that no one else know about this money as it is only myself,
my son, yourself.
May God bless you as you assist us.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Janet Jabata
