Dear Sister,
Based on the information and recommendation I got about quick growth of business, investment and commerce in your country, I deemed it necessary to write and inform you about my interest to invest in any viable venture in joint partnership with you.
I am Mrs Rita Abed the first wife of king George Abed K.S.M the king of mende tribe in Sierra-Leone. On the 19th May, 2004 my husband was murdered by some rebel group on the accusation that he is a great sponsor and in support to restore the democratically elected President of Alhadji Tejan Kabba. Almost half of the palace was burnt.Fortunately I was not in the place when they raided the palace my husband married 4 wives with 16 children two of the wives, with my 3 children where murdered in cold blood while my second son escape the incident with bullet wounds on his right leg at the moment where the remaining families are I don?t know their way about whether they are alive or not. Right now I am left alone with only one son since the sudden assassination of my husband the family has been displaced and totally disorganized left with noting.
Early that year befor my husband was Late husband was murdered he came back from travel and gave me some document to keep for him as usual he told me that he deposited 18.5 million USD in a trunk box with private security company in Abidjan Côte d?Ivoire as a family treasure. So I decided to go and search for the documents where I use to keep them I discovered the documents covering the deposit he made with the company and some other documents like his will and other documents for his business. As my town has been
a serious war zone, I made arrangement with two peace keeping force to help me and my son move out of the country, however we moved out of Sierra-Leone successfully, to Abidjan Côte d?Ivoire where we are now. I have gone and conform the deposit with the
company with all the documents all the documents are with me here.
Now I wish to transfer these funds abroad and enter
into a business venture as the country (Côte d?Ivoire) is no longer in peace since they conducted their Presidential election on the 22nd October 2004 the country has witness all sort of political unrest
ranging from ethnic clash which resulted to killing of innocent citizens and strangers people are living in fears as the country is no longer that peaceful nation as it was before due to this reason that I have
decided to contact you, to assist me to lift this my consignment out of this country. Please I need your assistance. Waiting for your urgent reply.Thanks and God bless.
