Subject: Greetings from Mrs.Regina Weah.
From: Mrs. Regina Weah
Country: Liberia, West Africa.
E-mail: mrs.rweah1@easymail.hu
Dear Sir,
Compliments of the day,
First and foremost, I want to solicit your strict confidence in this transaction
and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given a genuine approval
considering the fact that we have not known each other before. Sir before I
proceed , I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important transaction.
However,
this correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such.
Further I would wish to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you. I am Mrs.
Regina Weah from Liberia,West Africa. I am writing to inform you of my desire to
invest, and to buy a living house in your country. I am the widow of late Mr. Opong
Weah, my Husband was a diamond/gold merchant before his death.
His death was cause by gun short injuries he sustained in the hands of rebels on
his way traveling out of my country with two of my daughter’s due to the crisis in
my country (Liberia) some years back. Unfortunately my daughter's died on the spot
while UN peace keepers rescued my husband, he was taken to hospital for medical
treatment , were he later died.
Before his death he revealed to me about a deposit he made with a security company
in Ghana containing 35 kilos of raw gold and $12.6 million,(twelve million and six
hundred thousand us dollars) for safekeeping as family treasures. My husband did
not disclose the content of the boxes to the security company to avoid the
officials from raising eyebrows to the contents of the consignment.
Presently I am in Ghana with son Charles to notify the security company for the
claims, and we are staying at the Bujumbura refugee camp. Sir, i am writing to seek
for your assistance on how best and areas we can invest this fund in you country,
knowing the fact that we have not been to your country before.
My husband strictly advised us before his death not to venture to invest this fund
in Africa due to market instability coupled with economic and political instability
facing African countries, considering all this fact and the high economic growth in
your country was why I have opted to invest in your country.
For your mutual assistance in actualizing this objective, my son and I have agreed
to offer you 25% of the total amount of the money. All the vital documents covering
the deposit and the ownership are intact with our attorney, which will be sent to
you on your notifying us of your willingness to assist.
Note we have in mind to establish a good business and friendly relationship with
you in the nearest future if you are able to assist us. Please treat this matter
with utmost confidentiality to yourself. Also i would want you to forward across to
me your direct Tel/Fax number for discussion about this transaction. If you are
unable to assist please be kind to notify me so that I can look for a suitable
alternative.
Please accept my warm compliments, as I earnestly await your response.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Regina Weah.
For the entire family
