Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
This letter may come as a surprise to you, but from a sincere mind with honest desire for assistance to establish mutual business relationship with you. I got to know your address from the international economic and trade agency in Abidjan, in my research for an honest, trust worthy and God fearing individual who might assist me in implementing investment instructions as left for me by my late Husband Mr Roberts Idris of blessed memory. In brief introduction. I am the wife of Mr Roberts Idris. He was the Chairman of Sierra Leone Diamond and Gold Mining Corporation. In the short lived Government of Major John Paul Koromah where he also served as the Finance Minister against the desires of Alhadji Tijan Kabbah the outset President (then in exile). After seven months, Major John Koromah Military Government was outset by the combined forces of West African Countries (ECOMOG), and Alhadji Tijan Kabbah was reinstalled as civilian President on February 13th 1998. Upon his resumption, he ordered for the arrest and detention of my Husband and six other men who served in various capacities in the short lived Government of military junta led by Major Paul Koromah. They were charged for complicity in the coup that kept him out of power for seven months. After six months in military detention camp my Husband was announced dead by the government special press release.Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and crisis in Sierra-Leone. However, during the disturbances and prior to my Husband's death, he gave me a certificate meant for a secret deposit he made in a security company in Abidjan. The deposit is worth Twenty Three Million Seven Hundred Thousand US Dollars ($ 23,700,000) in cash, concealed and securely locked in one trunk box. The box was placed under privilege deposit and declared as containing Gold and precious stones. Non of the security company officials is aware of the real content of the box. According to my Late Huband, part of the money was paid to the corporation by it's overseas customer in the heat of the crisis. My Husband made the deposit and instructed the security company that his foreign partner will come for the claim after five years.On the strengh of the above I fled to Abidjan, where I am presently residing under refugee status, however, I have gone to the security company to confirm the deposit and establish ownership as (next of kin). But I was advised that I should come with my Husband's foreign partner before they release the box to me.Right now, I need your assistance urgently in moving this fund abroad, when the fund is properly secured we will jointly invest in high yielding stock and business on your advice in your country. My problem now is to look for a reliable person who will assist me to make sure that this money is out of Cote d'Ivoire because of the political crisis in this Country,which have divided this Country into two,with the rebels in north,which I and my mother is greatly afraid,because recently there is clash between the french troops and the government troops,which everybody is afraid of the forthcoming presidential election. I will reward your immediate assistance because I can not do these on my own due to my refugee status and ignorance of the business world. Your urgent reply indicating your interest will help me in no small measure to stop further contact, all other details will be made known to you and more importantly you have to treat this transaction as confidential as the hope of my entire family's survival is placed on this money. send mail for more details as soon as you receive this mailAwaiting your immediate response, God bless you.
