Subject: Your kind attention.
Attn: Director,
Re:Your kind attention.
I know that this letter will come to you as a surprise but I want you to
believe that it is the wish of GOD for you to help the helpless.
God has decided to bless you and I through this email and I know that he
will touch your heart to assist me if you are actually sent to me by him.
My name is Mrs.Pauline Ankoh Davies. I am writing you this mail from the
ECOWAS Refugee Rehabilitation Camp in Cote - D' Voire. I am a Sierra -Leonian
National and the wife of Late Dr.Johnson Ankoh Davies.
My late husband was the General overseer of Diamond and Gold Mines in the
Kaneina District of Sierra Leon, until April 16th 2001 when the militaryforces
loyal to the government of president Ahmed Tejan Kabbah, invaded the Diamond
and Gold Mines and Killed my husband, mistaking him for his junior brother
Mike Ankoh Davis, who is the deputy leader to the rebel leader of the revolutionary
United Front (RUF) Mr. Foday Sankoh.
When the news reached me, I hurriedly gathered some valuables in our house
and escape with my two kids George & Lynda along with other displaced peopleto
safety.
We were eventually picked up in a bush on the 22nd of April 2001 by the
Ecomog Soldiers who immediately handed us over to the International Red
Cross Society in Freetown, Sierra Leone, the red cross society finally arrangedfor
our safe movement to the Ecowas
refugee camp in Cote D Voire.
Presently we are camped in one of the Ecowas refugee rehabilitation centers
in Abidjan, and the hope of returning to our home country is not in sight
as the war between the government forces and the rabel
forces is still going on.
Among the valuables I took along with me was my husbands personal file which
contained details of a deposit of $20.5 million U.S Dollars my husband deposited
with a security company in Europe as family teasure, with the name of our
son George.
Although I suspect this money was illegally made from the sales of gold
and Diamond mines and was immediately moved to Europe for safety when my
late husband was the general overseer of the gold and diamond mines in sierra
Leone.
He did this because of the presure mounted on him to leave office by the
present regime and wanted to use the funds for his own personal
Gold and Diamond company which he planned to open in Europe.
Presently as a registered refugee-my movement is restricted. I have no access
and fund to travel to Europe to negotiate for the release of this money/consignment,
It's under this terrible condition we are in the camp, I have no other
option than to seek for your assistance good legal agreement, armed with
all the legal document about the money you should now act on my behalf as
the beneficiary, and help me to sign this money out from the security company
if possible transfer the money to your country where possibly a small scale
industry can be
established with such an amount under my supervision.
I promise to give you 30% of the amount in question, and 10% share in any
investment we will jointly embark on if eventually you assist me.
All I need from you is your assurance that my money will be safe pending
my freedom also that you will not disappear with the money or
sit on it and say that you do not know me again. This is a cry for urgent
assistance and must be kept very confidential.
If you are ready to assist me,let me know via email and I will give you
all the documents which will help you contact the company in
Europe for negotiation and collection of the consignment. This will take
place after you have writen and signed an assurance letter to
me that my money will be safe with you till my arrival.
Please relpy here:pauline_a_d@post.com,
Thanks and God bless.
MRS PAULINE ANKOH. DAVIES
