Hello Dear,
I know that this email may come as suprise to you but i am sorry if you consider it as an incoveniency but i have sent this email to you to seek for your personal assiatnce due to the problems and uneasiness that i am facing prese'ntly in this country where i seek asylum..I am Kate Norman,26years old,single,decent,educated,a 163cm in height and with no children.
My late father was LATE MR SAM HINGA NORMAN,which was the Ex-Defense Minister in our country SierreLeone,my late father was a figure and a fighter against the Rebel group then in Sierraleone called RUF (Revolutionary United Front).It was a Rebel Movement led then by late Foday Sankoh.
My Late father was a Pro-Government Militia leader and he was charged to court by the UN for War Crimes,my late father had been kept in prison for more than three years in the in Sierraleone and later developed Heart problem which led to his death,you can visit this site for more understanding http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6387673.stm
My father instructed me when he realised that the Government of Sierraleone wanted to arrest him and got him indicted through the WORLD SUPREME COURT in Sieraleone that charged him for humanright violations.
I have purposely travelled to Senegal due to the fact that my father made a deposit of $12.5m with a Security company and my father made available with me all the deposit documents which shows that i am the next of kin to the deposit which would make claims of the this deposit but due to the reason that i am seeking asylum in Senegal,i have encountered many problems in getting the released to me and that is why i have contacted you for joint assistance by having the deposit and i promise that i will compensate you with 20% out of the total as soon as this deposit is safely released from the security company.
Please let me know about your intentions to assist me and i will avail to you all the necessary information as soon as i hear from you.
Thank you as i wait to hear from you in earnest.
Yours,
Kate Norman.
