Dear Friend,
I am well confident of your capability of executing
this business for the mutual benefit of our both
families, believing that you will not expose or betray
the trust and confident I am about to repose on you.
I am contacting you with the greatest delight and
personal respect. I am PRINCES MAUREN TARAWALLY, the
first DAUGHTER of CHIEF K.S. TARAWALLY former minister of
Mineral Resources of the Republic of Sierra-Leone who> was recently murdered
by the Forces Loyal to Corporal Foday Sankoh, due to his support to the
incumbent
elected President Tejan Kabbah to remain in the office
as reported on the cable Network News (CNN) and by the
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
Two days before my father was assassinated,he confided
in me and ordered me to go to his underground safe
and moved out immediately with the deposit agreements
and cash receipt he made with a Security Company in
Abidjan where he deposited one trunk box which
contains cash sum of US$15,000,000(Fifteen million
United States Dollars).
I successfully smuggled out of the country to Abidjan,
Côte d´Ivoire with the help of some rebels loyal to My
father and have gone to the Security Company with the
deposit Documents to confirm the deposit myself.
Unknown to the Security company my father declared the
contents of the trunk box as African Artworks
belonging to his foreign partner, that the keys are> with him in order
to prevent them from nowing the
real content of the box.
I am now seeking for your direct assistance to front
you as the owner of the consignment and lift the
fund out of this country to your base for onward
profitable investment which necessitated my contacting
you.
We are to open a non residential Bank Account here in
Abidjan in your name through which the fund shall be
remitted to your Bank Account abroad and your
reward for this noble assistance is under negotiation.
Further detail will be made known to you on
confirmation of your interest to assist me towards
this project. You will also comfirm to me that no
third party should hear about this transaction.
Contact me through the email address.
May God bless you and your entire family
Expecting your immediate response.
Yours sincerely.
princes mauren tarawally
