Dearest
I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a surprising manner.
I am Mrs Lilian Adams from Sierra-leone. the wife of Late Dr.Edwin Adams of blessed memory. My late husband was the chairman of Sierra Leonean Diamond Corporation.
He was killed along with my three children in our Freetown residence while I was out. They were assassinated by Unknown Gunmen that was sent by the Rebel leader, Now I am left lonely with no child no husband or any partner in world
I was terrified of the situation and because of this I escaped from Sierra - Leone to the neighbouring country which is SENEGAL.brought along the money my husband left, the sum of u.s$7.5 million , in a metallic box which I deposited in a security finance security company as family valuables for security reasons.
My aim of contacting you is to seek for your able assistance as a front in transferring this fund abroad into an account , then as a business partner , you can help me to invest wisely in areas you deem lucrative and finally obtain a residential
permit for me to stay comfortable in your country of abode.
Presently, I am in refugee camp in darka,senegal and I cannot go back to Sierra- Leone because of the situation there.
I am prepared to offer you 20% of the total fund for your able assistance and support and would send you proofs of the funds as soon as I favourably hear from you .
Finally, I implore you to treat this transaction with secrecy and confidentiality for security reasons .
Thanking you in anticipation and God bless.
Mrs Lilian Adams
