MRS AMANDA MUZAZAH
ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE
PHONE: 0022507848485
Dear,
Compliment of the season,
With due respect and humility I write this proposal which I
believe would be of great interest to you. I wish to
solicit your help in migrating to your country and
investing my funds. Briefly, I am a Sierra Leonean National
and the wife of late Dr SIMON MUZAZAH.
Until his death, my husband was the General overseer of the
Diamond and Gold Mining Corporation in Kanema, Sierra
Leone. On April 6 2000 the military forces loyal to the
Government of Ahmed TIJAN KABBAH invaded the Diamond
and Gold mine and assassinated my husband, mistaking him
for his brother MIKE MUZAZAH who is the deputy to the
leader of the revolutionary United Front (RUF ) FODAY
SANKOH. When the news reached me, I hurried gathered
some valuables in our family villa and escaped for my dear
life in the company of my only son GEBRAIL.
Among the valuables was a file that contained details of a
Deposit my husband made in a security company in Abidjan
Côte d'Ivoire. He deposited US$ 10.5 M ( Ten Million Five
Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) contained in 1 Trunk
Box in the name of our son GEBRAIL as containing family
valuables. He did not disclose the real contents of the box
to the security company. Rather, he declared the deposit as
Family Valuables for security reasons. This is the money he
made from the sale of Gold and diamonds during his time as
the General overseer.
We have dislodged and retrieved the fund from the security
company and lodged it in a Bank here. We need your sincere
assistance to move this funds out of Côte d'Ivoire by
providing us with a SAFE BANK ACCOUNT where the fund
will be transferred to for investment in your country as we
cannot invest here due to its nearess to our country and
the war still going on there. Besides, our Refugee Status
here cannot help matters for us. We also ask you to scout
for a viable and lucrative business, so that we can invest
wisely.
We have it in mind to give you 10 % of the total sum (10.5
million US Dollars), and 25% share in any investment we
will embark upon if you assist us. We will also set aside
5% of the funds for ancillary expenses which you will make
in course of this transaction- fax messages, phone calls,
air tickets etc. This fortune we have revealed to you
should remain confidential as it only you who we have told
about it.
The phone number above have been acquierd for this
transaction, so that your messages will be confidentially
recieved. Call my son GEBRAIL on 00225 07 84 84 85 on
receipt of this message for futher directives. Note that
this transaction is risk free.
May God Bless you as you assist us.
Yours Sincerely,
AMANDA MUZAZAH
