I have a new email address!You can now email me at: mrs_sankara6@yahoo.in
- My Dear Friend,May the blessings of Allah be upon you and grant you the wisdom and sympathy to understand my situation and how much I need your help.I am Mrs.Aisha Sankara the wife of the late president Mr Thomas Sankara. I am contacting you with the hope that you will be of great assistance to me, I currently have within my reach the sum of 40 million U.S dollars cash which I intend to use for investment purposes.I therefore personally appeal to you seriously and religiously for your urgent assistance to move this money into your country where I believe it will be safe since I cannot leave the country due to the restriction of movement imposed on the members of my family by the Government.This money came as a result of a payback contract deal between my husband and a Russian firm in our country.The Russian partners returned my husbands share .Presently, the Government has intensified their probe in to my husbands financial resources which has led to the freezing of all ou!
r accounts, local and foreign, the revoking of all our business licences and the arrest of my First son.In view of this I want to act very fast to withdraw this money from one of our finance houses before it will be closed down.My husband deposited the money in a finance firm for safe keeping . No record is known about this fund by the government because there is no documentation showing that we have such funds.Further more, my elder son have been in detention in the last four years following the death of my late husband for charges of State organized murder and corrupt practices. he was just been released by the Supreme Court after the president brokered a deal with my family regarding his freedom, and he is still under interrogation about my late husband's assets and some vital documents.Due to the current situation in the country and government attitude to my family,I cannot make use of this money within, thus I seek your help in transferring this funds out for investmen!
t than leaving the fund here and to invest the money to profit my fami
ly Bearing in mind that you may assist me.l have decided to part with 25% of the total sum.I am seriously considering to settle down abroad in a friendly atmosphere like yours as soon as this fund get into your account so that I can start all over again if only you wish. I shall ask my son Mostafa to come over to your country to liaise with you. If this proposal satisfies you. please do not let me out to the security as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence and please include your personal telephone and fax numbers.I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith.Your URGENT response is needed.Regards and Allah Bless you.Mrs.Aisha sankara
