Subject: Attn Swart
Dearest One,
I write to intimate you of a matter that requires an urgent attention. But
briefly, I am Mrs Maria Chioma Wingobet , the wife of late Dr williams Wingobet
he was the chairman/CEO of the Sierra-Leone national Gold & Diamond Mining
Corporation. It is my pleasure communicating with you for the first time
and believing that it will lead to a better relationship between us. I also
hope you will not impede this trust and confidence I repose in you.
I send this letter from lome in togo where I have an official refugee status
with my three children after leaving our country due to an event that took
place on Febuary 2001 which led to the arrest and detention of my husband
and six other men after a face off with the Sierra-Leone government on allegation
of subversive activities and treasonable offences which was nothing
but a mere political persecution.
After five months in the military detention camp my husband was announced
dead by the government special press release. Though I do not know to
what extent you are familiar with the event and crisis in Sierra-Leone, however during the
disturbance and prior to my husband's death he gave me all the documents for the secret deposit
he made in a security company in lome-togo. The deposit is US$ 7.5 Million
US Dollars, he made the deposit in one trunk box(cash), but the real content
of the box was not disclosed to the security
company officials as this was deposited as personal effect.(for security
reasons).
However I have gone to the security company to confirm the deposit and establish
ownership, please I need your assistance urgently in moving this fund abroad
for investment, when the fund is properly secured we will jointly invest
in any business you consider profitable.
I will be glad for your resolved assistance, I will kindly appreciate if
we can talk and emerge words with action. With all honesty to the stated
data in my message,i assure you of the genuity of this proposal. I will
particularly be happy if you can handle this transaction in the most confidential
manner since the rest of my life solely depends on this fund. It is the
fear of betrayal from anyone around us here that confirms my decision to
contact a neutral individual like you, and I want you to educate me on investment
potential in your country since I would not like to invest or stay in any
of the African country,except otherwise.
I will not hesitate to give you 20% or negotiable of the total sum for
your assistance. So if you will be able to assist me, please do urgently
reply me for further clarification and confirmation.
You can always reech me through this my private mail
addresss,
Thank for your anticipated co-operation, May GOD
bless you.
Your Sincerely,
Mrs Maria Chioma Wingobet
