Hi
I got your contact from the internet and my instinct motivated me to write
you. I hope you will be kind enough to digest my mail and assist me in this
regards.
I am an undergraduate medical student of Fourahbay College, Sierra Leone. My
Late father, Chief Mayor Musa Bangura was a traditional ruler in my home
town.
He was also a prominent Gold and Diamond dealer in sierra leone before
he was murdered in cold blood three years ago alongside my beloved mother by
the rebels of the RUF that has been fighting the legitimate democratically
elected government in my country since 1992. The war is still ravaging my
country up till now.
After the untimely death of my parents, I discovered some important documents through my father's personal lawyer indicating thatmy late father had deposited the some Gold and Diamond in a Security and Trust company in Dakar Senegal for safe keeping because of the rebel war going on in my country Sierra Leone.
With the assistance of my father's personal lawyer, I have made successful
claims of the gold and the diamond at the Trust company here in Senegal by
virtue of the legal rights as the only child and next of kin of my parents
Now I have decided to search for a reliable Gold and Diamond dealer whom I
can trust and send this gold and diamond out of Senegal.
This is where you came in, because I learnt that your country had good market for gold and diamond. All the documents for evidence and proof of this are here in my position but the gold and diamond in question is in a Security Company.
I am absolutely willing to give you 50% of any amount of money realized from
the sales of these products if you will agree to help me. Also I will be very
much happy if you can assist me to arrange for me to come to your country
where I intend to settle down and complete my education as a qualified
Medical Doctor.
Bear in mind that the task of investing any money realized from the sell of
this product in your country shall be solely done by you and such investment
shall be solely controlled and managed by you until I finish my education.
I hope you will handle this matter with altmost confidentiality and transparency.
Should you trust that you are capable of assisting me to
actualise my goal, do not hesitate to confirm by email responce. My email
address is Annabangura333@voila.fr
I shall be very glad indeed to hear from you as soon as possible
Yours sincerely.
Annabangura.
