Subject: FAMILY ASSISTANCE
Dear Friend,
I do hope my letter will not embarrass you since there was no previous correspondence held with you. By getting your address is the handwork of the almighty God. Since then, I have been very much hopeful that you will assist us irrespective of the fact that the present world is full of
dishonesty and distrust.This may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial; as a matter of urgency, i am desparately seeking for your help to handle some investment or fund movement.
Firstly, I will wish to introduce myself. I am Mrs.VICTORIA FATOU SANKOH, from Sierra Leone; I am the wife of, CPL FODAY SANKOH. My husband was the Leader of the Revolutionary United Front untill he was dethroned and arrested by President TEJAN KABBAH who later handed him over to the United Nations war crime tribunal were he later died in detention.
But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he deposited the sum of US$15.4m (Fifteen million four hundered Thousand United States Dollars)in the name of our only son 'SAMCO' at a reputable security company in South Africa .This consignment was
deposited as family valuables which means the security company are not aware of the content of the box.
I arrived here in SOUTH AFRICA a couple of months ago with my three children and through a good contact l applied for a refugee status as an asylum seeker, which is still pending in Home Affairs Department. The problem now is that because of our status, we cannot risk moving the money without help hence I am looking for a trustworthy partner, who can help me move this
money out of SOUTH AFRICA .
In that case, I want to know if you can help me transfer the fund into your account in your country or elsewhere since time is not on my side.
As a widow of three children I need your urgent attention to this matter. It is true that we have neither met nor known each other before, but the information I gathered of your credibility makes me believe that with trust and honesty we will achieve a huge success in about a week. I will leave together with my children from SOUTH AFRICA to your country immediately the
money goes into your account.
For your noble assistance and well assured of safeguarding the whole Fund under your care, I will offer you 40% of the total sum, while 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred on the cause of this transaction by both parties, while the remaining 50%will be for me and my family. I want to assure you that this business is completely risk free because every arrangement has been made for a successful deal.
I expect your immediate response so that we can conclude the Transaction in the very shortest time. It is very important that you keep this business HIGHY CONFIDENTIAL because I do not want anything to happen to this fund.
Please you can call me on phone with this number +27 782 710 001 or email to victoria_sankoh19@yahoo.com
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards,
Mrs.Victoria F Sankoh
