Attn: President/CEO
Dear Sir,
best wishes of the year.
First let me use this medium to introduce myself,
I am Sarah Inganomah, the wife, from Kono district
north of Freetown SIERRA-LEONE West Africa.
My husband Chief Sam Inganomah before his
was arrested by the world court tribunal for his
involvement in the war in our country he was
the vice president the defense minister, so
during the war, he formed the civil right committee
which help in fighting the rebels there by saving our
country but now he is being held by that reason
to face charges in the tribunal, but before he was
arrested, he has already handed over some
documents to me, which reveals that he has
deposited a sealed box that contains
$4, 680.000.00 million (Four million, six hundred
and eighty thousand United States dollars).
Deposited in the security company here in Accra
the capital city of Ghana, which my name is the
next of kin. My husband told me that, He registered
the box as containing precious items as at the time
of deposit in order not to raise questions. The officers
in the security company do not know the content of
the metal box because my father wisely declared it as
an artwork and family treasures.
Since his detention, we the family members has
done everything possible to secure his release but
to no success. So he has advised me to look for
somebody reliable outside the country to help in
retrieve these consignment in other to use the fund
for more effort for his realize. So sir I like you to stand
as my husband foreign business partner, so as to get
the fund out of the SECURITY COMPANY and transfer
it to your country where we can make use of it in a
lucrative business investment in your country.
This transaction is now, only known by you, me and
my son whom is with me in the camp waiting for the
time I get this fund out of the security company.
Please the secrecy and confidentiality should be maintained.
I will be sending over to you by fax or email attachment the
original certificate of deposit which the security company
gave to my father at the time of deposit.
These funds was deposited with a secret code not
by any name or any person, that means it will be
more easy for you to retrieve these box and I withhold
the secret code for security reasons as you show
interest, the secret code and the certificate of deposit
will be given to you upon your arrival and held a
meeting with me and my mother, We can now proceed
to the SECURITY COMPANY to retrieve the FUNDS
for investment in your country. My son and I have
agreed to compensate you with 30% from the total
sum and 5% for your expenses. Please get back to
me as soon as possible, you can also send me your
private fax and telephone numbers, for more
confidential discussions.

Mrs. Sarah Inganoma
