Subject: ATTN: REGARDS FROM MARYANN WITH PROPOSAL!!
Greetings to you Sir/Madam,
I write to solicit your help and assistance in solving my present problem:
the solution of which will be beneficial to us both.
My name is Maryann Sabata, an Ashanti woman from Ghana. I am widow since
July 4th, 2004. My husband died mysteriously after a long lay off by
undiagnosed sickness. He was on sick bed for two years before he died. He
was from the Ashanti region of Ghana where Gold and other Mineral resources
abound and his father was not left out of the share of the rich land. The
matter now is that my husband had some Gold dust he deposited as safe keep
in the vault of a bank here in Ghana as FAMILY TREASURE since January, 2000
worth USD$14.7m. He was able to get this safe as part of his inheritance
from his late father being the only child and heir to his father’s wealth.
After his death as the only son and child of his father, his extended family
members took over the family gold-rich land and sold it to new investors
from America as well as squander all his savings except the one I am
discussing with you which they did not know anything about. My husband
warned me on his sick bed not to disclose the deposit to his family before
he died in the hospital. The family has left me and my two sons with
nothing. I want to give my children good education and myself good life.
Please you are the key to my escape.
I want to leave Ghana entirely now and relocate permanently, but I need to
transfer out the deposit left by my husband. This can only be done by
transferring it to a trusted friend abroad as this is one of the conditions
specified in the contract agreement with the bank by my husband. I will move
the gold deposit to you, I will come to your country and you will help me
get buyers for the gold and I will invest the money under your guide once I
relocate as well as donate to charitable organizations.
I am therefore soliciting your help in standing as my foreign appointee to
whom I can send the gold dust. I will get all necessary documents to help us
move the deposit to you which will enable me to come over and get the
proceeds or the raw gold shared between us 60% for me 10% for the lawyer who
is going to help in legal processes and 20% for you or your establishment
(as the case may be) for helping out while 10% will be for repayment of any
out-and-out expenses you, my lawyer or your organization may incur in the
process of transferring and transporting the deposit to your place. I have
samples of the gold dust in case you can come over here to see them and
confirm the quality for yourself and conclude the transaction.
I wait for your immediate and urgent reply to this mail so I can have a new
life again. As it is now, I am left with nothing and my sons have stopped
schooling because I could no longer afford the expenses. Please give me your
phone number so that I can call you to discuss it further with my lawyer.
Thank you
Maryann Sabata
NB: IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DOING MORE GOLD BUSINESS AT REDUCED PRICES, I
WILL BE ABLE TO LINK YOU DIRECTLY TO THE MINERS HERE IN GHANA AS WELL AFTER
CONCLUDING MY TRANSACTION AND CONFIRM EVERYTHING YOU MAY WANT TO COMFIRM.
