Subject: SEEKING FOR A REAL-ESTATE PROPERTY TO BUY
FROM: Mrs Linda Tchesekedi.
I know this message might come to you as a surprise
since you don't know me before.I got your contact from
Information network online(INO)And want to use this
opportunity to express my interest in doing business
with you as I belive that you are reliable in handling
this type of international transaction.PLEASE MAIL ME
ON MY PRIVATE BOX AS STATED BELOW.
I am Mrs Tchesekedi,a former parliament member in the
regime of President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah of Republic of
Sierra Leone before he was ousted in a military coup
in May 25th 1997 by Major Johnny Paul Koroma and the
wife of late Major.Tchesekedi who died last year,we
are presently in exile here in Banjul,The Republic of
Gambia.I want to buy real estate properties worth $35
million US dollars in your country or any other part
of the world,in order to secure the future of my
son.The real estate can be
residential,commercial,industral,hotel building or
shopping center.I am writing to know if you can locate
and purchase viable properties for me and also manage
it untill I leave Africa.
Presently I can not travel out of the continent but if
you can locate,purchase and manage the properties then
I will invite you to visit me here in the Gambia
immediately to sign a written agreement with me as my
real estate/manager. I will release the investment
fund to you so that you can purchase the properties on
my behalf,in accordance to my instructions after which
my son will visit you to inspect the properties. I
will offer you 20% commission of the total investment
fund and additional 5% for any expenses which you
might incure as a result of this transaction,
including travelling, accommodation and other sundry
expenses.
So if you can handle the business properly, write me
immediately with full details of the available
properties and its prices and also furnish me with
your phone numbers. By virtue of my position,you
should protect my interest in the business,and should
treat the business with absolute confidentiality
because I do not want the Government to know about the
money, because the money we want to use for the
investment was made by my late husband during his
tenure in the office and the fund was deposited in a
sealed box in a private security company here as a
family treasures for security reasons.
I am looking forward to your immediate reply.
{PRIVATE MAILBOX}: tchesekedi_lin40@mail.com

Yours sincerely.
Mrs Linda Tchesekedi.
