Subject: I NEED YOUR HELP.
Dear,
I know that this proposal might be a surprise to you but do consider it
as
an emergency. In a nut shell, My name is Aminata Kabba 20 years old
from the
republic of Seirra leone in west Africa, now seeking for refugee in
Dakar
-Senegal under the(UNHCR).
The only child of late Dr.David Kabba. I am looking for someone who can
take
me as child I promise to be obidient to you and I will bring happiness
to
your life.
I got your contact from the Internet Search.I want you to assist me in
this
transaction. My late father was the managing director of Rainbow Gold
and
Diamond Mine company in (KENEMA) Seirra leone .But he was killed along
side
with my mother during the longing civil war and all his properties were
totally destroyed. However, after their death I managed to escape with
very
important files of my father.He has the sum of (US$10.5M)Ten million
five
hundred thousand U.S Dollars only. This amount was deposited by my late
father in one of the leading Bank here in senegal. The deposit
documents
indicate me as the next of kin. Presently, I am saddled with the
problem of
securing a trust worthy foriegn personality to help me. I will map out
10%
for you.
(1)Stand on my behalf in Senegal as the beneficiary for the claim of
the
inheritance from the bank since the management of the bank adviced that
I
should solicit for an individual or corporate organization to claim the
deposit for me as they cannot release it directly to me due to my
refugee
status in Senegal.
(2)Transfer the money over to your own country and into your possession
pending my arrival to meet with you.
(3)Invest and manage the money for me in a good business pending my
maturity.
(4) Help me secure my travelling documents to meet you as soon as my
money
is released to you.
Furthermore,you can contact the Bank for confirmation and I will issue
a
letter of authorisation on your name,that will enable the bank
correspond
with you on my behalf.I am giving you this offers as mentioned with
every
confidence on your acceptance to assist me or adopt me as your Child if
possible and manage the money for me.
Conclusively,I wish you send me a reply immediately you recieve this
proposal.
Until then,I remain with the best
Stay Blessed.
Aminata Kabba
