Subject: Good Day,
Good Day,
My name is Mrs kene Koffi. I am the wife of Mr.Noel Koffi who served as
the chief security officer to president Kabah of Sierra Leone.
Unfortunately,
my husband was killed During the over throw of 24th December 1997.
I came to know of you in my search of a reliable person to handle a
very
confidential business transaction, which involves the transfer of a
huge
sum of $usd35 million which was deposited in a finance house
the former president Tijan Kabah gave him this money safe keeping
for
when he got information that the militaries were planning to over throw
him(KABAH).Unfortunately,my husband was killed in that coup
detract,
and I am the only person who has all the legal documents to claim this
money.
My husband gave me all the legal documents that covers this fund days
before
his death. I was waiting for things to cool down before making my move
but
the recent crisis in my country has forced me to make the move now.
Now, i and my son is in refugee camp in London. Right now, the money
is
in a safe place.I am using this opportunity to seek for your assistance
to transfer this money into your account to be invested in your
country.
All you need to do is to forward to me an account where this money will
be sent to so that I can send my son (johnson)to come over to your
country
for investment.
We don't have any business to cover-up, that is why we need your
assistance.
If you agree to this proposal, we shall discuss on the parcentage and I
will also forward to you all the legal documents that covers this fund
for
confirmation.Please reply me as soon as possible.
I awaits your quick response .
Yours faithfully,
Mrs kene Koffi/ johnson, my son.
