above specialist hospital.
I have a widow here in my clinic who is on a political Asylum in the
English Refugee Camp, she has been so ill for some couple of months now.
This woman confided in me based on the free medical attention I have been
giving to her and her children.
She had revealed to me - her life history and about her late husband who
was a top military officer in one of the West African country (Sierra-
Leone) before his death during the civil war and the fortune she inherited
from her late husband.
My profession permits quarterly audit of my accounts Therefore, she has
asked me to source a credible and trustworthy partner abroad who will
manage her funds for investment, the sum of Twenty Eight Million United
State Dollars which her late husband deposited in a safe Fiduciary Agent in
one of the Countries of the world through security Company based in south
Africa.
I wish to chose you for this venture and I believe you will be in the
position to assist in managing this large sum in a profitable venture and
also to help create a safe heaven for her and her children by making a
residence arrangement for them in your country.
After she had disclosed this information to me; I saw the reason to request
from her to allow me see the documents relating to this deposit of which

hesitate to fax to you the copies as a prove for your confirmation as soon
as I receive your response via email.

knowledge in the business world and as such she can not manage this funds
herself and in Africa in order to avoid any trace of her by the government,

will need from you a mutual understanding and then we shall make plans on
how the funds would be secured into an account in your name; after which
you will arrange and travel immediately to meet with the security company
Agent in Europe for clearing.
This amount is contained in a sealed trunk box and it is registered and
declared as containing family treasures, so even as I am writing you now
the security company and it's Agent is not aware that there is cash money
in the trunk.
Let me assure you that this transaction is 100% hitch -free and risk free.
From my discussion with her, she has agreed to give you a reasonable amount
of percentage for your involvement in this and this has to be discussed
upon the receipt of your quick esponse on email:(dr_john_20052003@yahoo.dk)
