My dear friend,
My name is Dr. Valintine Chima Sessenou, a medical
doctor and the sole proprietor of the above specialist
hospital. I understand that
through internet is not the best way to link up with
you because of the confidentiality which the
transaction demands. However, I have already
sent you this same letter by post one month ago, but I
am not sure if it did get to you since I have not
heard from you, hence my resending it again. I have a
widow here in my hospital, she is on a political
assylum in Lome - Togo refugee camp. She has been so
ill for some couple of months now and was transfered
to my hospital in Lagos.
This woman confided in me based on the free medical
attention I have been giving to her and her children.
She had revealed to me of her life history and about
her late husband who was a top military officer in one
of the west African country (Sierra-Leone) before his
death during the civil war and the fortune she
inherited from her late husband. She has asked me to
source a credible and trustworthy partner abroad who
will manage her funds for investment, the sum of
Twenty Eight Million US Dollars (US$28m) which her
late husband deposited in a safe fiduciary agent in
Europe through a security company based in Lagos.
I wish to chose you for this venture and I believe you
will be in the position to assist in managing this
large sum in a profitable ventures and also to help
create a safe haven for her and her children
by making a residence arrangement for them in your
country.
After she had disclosed this information to me, I saw
the reason to request from her all the documents
relating to this deposit of which she did, now I have
the documents covering the deposit which I will not
hesitate to fax to you the copies as a proof for your
confirmation as soon as I receive your response via
e-mail. I am obliged to assist this lady knowing too
well that she has a limited knowledge in the business
world and as such she cannot manage this funds
herself, and in order to avoid any trace of her by the
government, I will need from you a mutual
understanding and then we shall make plans on how the
funds would be secured into an account in your name;
after which you will arrange and travel immediately to
meet with the security company\'s Agency in Europe for
clearing.
This amount is contained in a sealed trunk box and it
is registered and declared as containing family
treasures, so even as I am writing you now the
security company and its agency are not aware that
there is cash money in the trunk. Let me assure you
that this transaction is 100% hitch and risk free;
from my discussion with her, she has agreed to give
you a reasonable amount of percentage for your
involvement in this deal, and this has to be discussed
upon the receipt of your quick response.
Thanks and God bless you for your understanding,
Best regards,
Dr.Valintine Chima Sessenou
