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}: lindtchesekedi@netscape.net

Yours sincerely.
Mrs Linda Tchesekedi.
