MRS VERONICA LAMINE
ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE
WEST AFRICAN STATE.
PHONE: +22507848486
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 LAMINE.
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 LAMINE who is the deputy to the leader of the evolutionary
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 JOHNSON.
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$10.5M
(Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) contained in 1 Trunk Box
in the name of our son JOHNSON 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, etc. This
fortune we have revealed to you should remain confidential as it only you
who we have told about it. Note that this transaction is risk free.
May God Bless you as you assist us.
Yours Sincerely,
MRS.VERONICA LAMINE.
