Subject: Proposal......................
Dear Sir,
I know this letter will come to you as a surprise
because we don't have previous contact or arrangment,before
but kindly take it as an offer of investment
assistance that i need from you.I got your contact through the NET from my
seriousness and anxiousness in contacting a reputable
foreigner who will assist me in investing overseas and i
have decided to seek your personal assistance in this
transaction for future benefit of both parties.
I am Miss Aida Diallo, a Sierra-Leonian now
seeking
assylum in Dakar-Senegal under (UNHCR).
My father (late) chief Musa Diallo was the managing
director of Rainbow Gold and Diamond Mine company in
(KENEMA) Sierra-Leone, but was killed during the
civil war by the rebels due to his resistance against the rebel because of his pretisgious position ,but before his
untimely death,while he was in
the hospital,he told me of some vital deposit
documents in his strong room which bears the total sum
of Thirteen million five hundred thousand united states
dollars(US 13.500,000.00) he deposited in a Security
and Finance Company here in Dakar,Senegal on my name
as the next of kin and beneficiary if he is unseen.
He further warned and advised me not to invest this
money in any war zones/countries rather makes a
foreign contact for my brighter life.
I and my mother is presently residing at Dakar Senegal
pending the period we should succeed in investing the
fund overseas and we have maped out 20% as a partly reward
for your assistance during this process.
I have all the neccesary backing/proofs in respect
of this consignment.
Awaiting your earnest response.Please handle this transaction with
ulmost confidentiality if you know that you cannot assist me i humbly advice you to keep it within yourself for security purpose.again i say please for the sake of our family
Regards,
Miss Aida Diallo
