Subject: FROM PRINCESS ABIGAIL COLE
Dear sir,
In my quest for a reliable and reputable person to
engage in a mutual
business relationship, your good self was introduced
to me by my
father*s lawyer whose brother had worked in your
country. But I did not
disclose the reason why needed your contact.
As introduction, I am the only surviving daughter of
late Chief Ibrahimprincess abigail Cole, the paramount chief
of Munsha District of Sierra Leone who was killed on
January 8 1999, by the trigger happy rebels. Most
unfortunately for me came from a polygamous family,
and a student but out of school because this problem.
During my father*s lifetime he was actively engaged
in ILLEGAL MINING AND SALES OF DIAMOND, from wherehe
made his enormous wealth.
Prior to my father*s death, he left a WILL with his
lawyer, which was made available to us upon
observation and conclusion of burial befitting my
father. And as the only daughter most of his
properties were willed to me, most importantly is
the sum of US$15M (fifteen million United States
dollars)which he deposited in a private security
company this also is
among my inheritance from my deceased father.
Since introduction of this WILL all my father*s
relatives have not been at peace with me, they were
not happy how my father assigned all the enormous
wealth to me. They have systematically and
forcefully collected from me all documents of the
properties *willed* to me.
Not including a huge mount of money in one
of the banks in sierra Leone which they could not
withdrawn due to a court order
restraining either party from making withdrawals
pending the determination of a Litigation filled by
my father*s relations challenging the WILL.
Now since I am too hard for them the (relatives) to
subdue, they were making attempts to kill me so that
nobody can stop them from carrying out their act, as
they have succeeded in killing my mother last year.
Infact the fear and warning of killing me as well
griped me so much that I could not bear it anymore,
hence I ran away from our family house to live with
a school mate of mine whose father is a military
man,with advise of my father*s lawyer to safeguard
my life and this US$15 million that was not known to
them.
Considering my age and inexperienced in business and
investment procedures, please I want you to help me
in taking good custody of this funds and invest it
in a profitable venture in a country where there is
Economic and political stability.
If you assent to helping me this regard, we shall
then discuss what I will give you in return for your
assistance. And you will be required to sign a
Memorandum of Understanding with me upon which you
shall proceed to the official premises of the
Security Company to take delivery of the funds
forfurther investment.
Please put into consideration my incapabilities in
some respect, therefore I would prefer all
correspondence to be through Email which is more
secret and confidential, as I can not use my school
mate father*s telephone to avoid jeopardizing my
stayhere. Every document concerning these funds is
with my lawyer, upon request it will be sent to you.
Should you not be willing to collaborate with me in
this venture, please inform me urgently to enable me
look for another person.
Thanks in anticipation to your positive response.
Yours truly
PRINCESS HASIHATU SESSEY COLE.
