Compliment of the day,
My name is Mrs Rose Goddard ,a widow and from the nation of Sierra Leone,a West African war torn nation, My self and my husband worked in the biggest Diamond Minning Coporation in which he was incharge of accounts while I was a minning engineer .
When the war broke out and the pendemonium that followed, I had to escape with my son and some Cash immediatelly after the brutal murder of my husband,which is after he was accused of financial mismanegement by the then rabel leader and Head of Millitery junta Mr Forday Sankoh ,although he [ Sankoh ] claimed to be unconnected to the killing but after all I experienced from the rabels,I think i had to run for the safty of myself and my son ,with the cash which is in sum of $14 Million American Dollars .
My reason of contacting you is to solicit for your assistance and to stand as my trustee in having this cash successfully moved to your country where i will have to invest in a good bussiness or if accepted by you form a Joint Venture bussiness with you ,for the mutual benefit of both of us. Although am still very ready to pay you a trustee or rather commit it same to the joint venture collaboration ,back in my country trustee fee is withen the range of 15 to 20 % of the total fund. Upon your acceptancy and willingness to stand as my trustee in handling this transaction i will be pleased to direct you on the financial institution which i kept the fund for safe custody.
Please i implore you to handle this transaction with utmost confidentiality as the future of myself and my only son solely depend on the success of this transaction .I look forward to hearing from you very soon . Thanks in advance for your Co-operations.
Best Regards ,
Mrs Rose Goddard.
