Due to this war crises presently in my city Monrovia our home town, my husband managed to sneak me and my son David 23 years of age and four other of my daughters out of Monrovia to Dakar senegal for safety. We were sneaked into Dakar Senegal through the land boarder by the help of some government militant group.
My husband adviced me to get a trust worthy individual abroad to receive the deposit.I feel confident therefore to introduce myself and this offer to you based on this problem of war in my country and our present condition as all our foreign contacts and connections got lost during this crises, all properties burnt by the rebels.
I am desperately in need to move and re-locate this huge deposit to your country for safe keeping on the advice of my husband as this is the only wealth remaining for the future survival and well being of our large family.
For your percentage for assistance, a negotiable percentage will be discussed as soon as I receive your response based on this plea for your assistance as our lives are highly in danger due to war.I pray and plead for your help.
For your information I got your contact on my search for our family friend from your country whom we lost his contact in the fire out break in our house, and during our search, we came accross , your profile and your address and after praying and fasting over this matter we decided to contact you having in mind that you will understand our situation and assist us in the relocation our deposit and to bring us to your country with my children.

God bless you as you heed to my plea for assistance.
