Greetings
I know that this mail may come to you as unespected since we have not met or known each other before, but I hope that you will treat this matter with love and fear of God.
I am Mrs joy promise the wife to Dr promise Umar the former Director Of gold and diamond of Sierra leone,who was assasinated by the rebel loyal to Foday Sankoh the(R U F)leader;I managed to escape my country with my son,with the sum of $18.5 MILLION dollars concealed in a metallic trunk box belonging to my late husband,This money I discovered in my husband's underground room while searching for our belonging in readiness to flee my country for safety.
After his assasination my Husband's friend who operates a fishing trawler along the west africa coastal line assisted us in moving this box to Daker Senegal where Iam presently residing as a refugee with my son.
This money I deposited with a private security and trust company here under special arrangement as family treasure;the security company does not know the real content of the box for security resons;all the neccessary deposit documents issued to me are Available and can be sent to you on request.
So all am asking from you is to assist me by coming over to Daker Senegal,and help me to claim this money from the security company and into a domiciliary account in your name,here you will open with any of the international bank for onward transfer to your account in your country for a profitable business investment.As a refugee here I cannot open an account with my name or my son name,or operate freely since we are refugee statues,so that is why I am asking for your assistance.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks and God bless you.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs joy promise. .skype_tb_injection { font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: bold; font-weight: bold; border: 0; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; line-height: normal; vertical-align:top; text-indent:0; color:#333333; cursor:hand; background:transparent none no-repeat scroll 0px 0px; height:15px; white-space: nowrap; } .skype_tb_injectionIn { font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: bold; font-weight: bold; border: 0; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; line-height: normal; vertical-align:middle; text-indent:0; color:#333333; cursor:hand; background:transparent url(C:\Program Files\Skype\toolbars\Skype for Internet Explorer\inactive_m.compat.gif) repeat-x scroll 0px 0px; height:15px; position: relative; top:
