MUZAZAH
Dear sir,
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
Sierra Leonean National and I am the wife of late Dr SIMON MUZAZAH
and 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 MUZAZAH who is the deputy to the
leader of the revolutionary United Front (RUF ) FODAY SANKOH. When
the news reached me, I and my son hurriedly gathered some valuables
in our family villa and escaped for our dear life.
Among the valuables was a file that contained details of a Deposit my
husband made in a security company in Abidjan C?d'Ivoire and in Europe
respectively. He deposited in Abidjan US$ 10.5 M (Ten Million Five
Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) contained in 1 Trunk Box.
In Europe 2 Trunk Boxes containing $20 Million USD (Twenty Million
U.S Dollarseach) my son name JOHNSON was used for the Deposit of
these boxes which was deposited as family valuables. He did not
disclose the real contents of the box to the security company in
Abidjan/Europe. 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.
I am soliciting for your assistance to help me retrieve the fund from
the security company and lodged it in your Bank Account. We need your
sincere assistance to move out this funds by providing us with a SAFE
BANK ACCOUNT where the fund will be transferred into for investment
as soon as it is been retrieved from the security Companies etc.
I have it in mind to give you 10 % of the total sum (30.5 million US
Dollars), and 25% share in any investment we will embark upon if you
assist me. I will also set aside 5% of the funds for ancillary
expenses which you will make in this transaction- fax messages, phone
calls, air tickets etc.This fortune we have revealed to you should
remain confidential as it is only you who we have told about it.
You are strictly advised to reply me though the above E-mail
(muzazah@ny.com) address
in regards to this transaction, so that your messages will be
confidentially received. Contact me on your receipt of this message
for further directives.
Note that this transaction is risk free.
May God bless you as you assist us.
Yours Sincerely,
LILIAN MUZAZAH
