ATTN:
I have the honour and confidence to introduce this business to you in view
of the fact that you are trustworthy and reliable in handling such an international
transaction.
I am a citizen of Sierra Leone, a country located in West Africa, and the
only survived dauther to Major George Ayetore collins, a top Sierra Leonean
rebel soldier,who played an active role during the political crises in Sierra
Leone.
On the thick of the crises, my father flew to Lome -Togo with me on exile
, where we are residing. But most unfortunate for me, my
father died of heart failure last three months, leaving only me as my mother
had earlier died during child birth seven years age and my twin brother
and a kid sister were killed during the war in my
country.
Due to my father's failing health, he disclosed to me in confidence about
the existence of twenty-five million, five hundred thousand United States
Dollars (US$25.5m) which he secretly lodged in one security company .
However, I observed from my father that he got this money from the huge
amount mapped out by the rebel group for the importation of
ammunitions from Yugoslavia to kill and maim the innocent citizens of Sierra
Leone.
Upon the cause of the above, he diverted this fund . As a matter of fact,
this fund has no trace as the war has ended with a new government in the
country. But then, my father gave me instructions before his death to seek
for a God fearing and reliable foreigner, who is ready to assist me without
delay to move this fund out from the finance company and transfer it to
the
person's Bank Account, for safe keeping and immediate investment. I believe
that you are most reliable and trustworthy to handle this transaction with
me. This is why I solicit for your coperation without hesitation.
my father gave to me every reliable information and the documents of the
funds, of which I will provide for you. Upon your agreement to assist, I
have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum at the end of the transaction.
At the same time, I mapped out 10% for any expenses both parties might incure
during the transaction.
However, if you are interested, kindly reply immediately by my private email:c.aishatou@caramail.com
to enable me stop further contacts. Furthermore, be assured that this business
is risk free as every information/document is
intact with me. Remember to include your private telephone/fax numbers for
faster communication.
More details will be given to you on the receipt of your reply. Be informed
that this transaction requires absolute secret and
confidentiality.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Sincerely
AIshatou joe Collins
