Subject: Very Important
Ms. Shirley Yema Gbujama
Minister of Social Welfare,
Gender and Children Affairs
Sierra Leone
Greetings to you,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings and I hope this mail
meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might
seem to you as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I
humbly ask that you take due consideration
of its importance and the immense benefit it will be to the both of us.
After careful consideration with my children, we resolved to contact you for
your most needed
assistance in this manner. I duly apologize for infringing on your privacy,
if this contact is not
acceptable to you, as I make this proposal to you as a person of integrity.
I got your contact from reliable source from a network data base and after
due accessment and deliberation with my Children I decided to contact you.
First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is
Ms. Shirley Yema Gbujama , a Sierra Leonean, a mother of three and a Grand
mother of Five. Currently i am the Minister of Social Welfare, Gender and
Children Affair for Seven years running in the Republic of Sierra Leonean.

When I was sworn in as Minister of Social Welfare, Gender and Children
Affairs in 1998, with my influence, my husband Mr. Thomas Gbujama, a very
successful businessman was awarded several contracts in my ministry and had
direct dealings with foreign investors in this field. But his live was cut
short while on an official trip to one of his project sites, where they were
attacked by rebles and killed and their corpses were never to be found.
Sometime early this year, i was contacted by a private security firm as next
of kin to come forth with the Certificate of Deposit and claim a safety
deposit my husband has in their Vault in his name. But at that time when i
was contacted, my children and I did not have an idea where the Certificate
might be, until only recently the Certificate and other documents relating
to the safety deposit was discovered in a book inside a secret save in my
late husbands room.
The safety deposit which is a trunk, is stocked with hard currency (US
Dollars) totalling
$14,500,000.00 (Fourteen Thousand Five hundred US Dollars Only) which was
generated from cash payments from his business associates in the diamond
trade from Antwerp, Belgium.
Though I knew my late husband was in the diamond business, I did not have
the knowledge that he moved funds in cash and with my present position as a
Minister in this Present Government it will cause a lot of harm for me and
my family if the Government should know of this cash, because they might
think that my late husband had a hand in the Blood Diamonds during the civil
war in my Country.
So I crave your understanding to act as a trustee inother to assist me in
claiming this funds which was deposited in a trunk Boxes as a consignment
from the Finance and security company Abroad and i have decided to have this
fund invested immediately in Real estate and Tourism Business abroad or any
profitable ventures under your expert advise and it will be run by you since
any member of my family cannot hold such a huge amount in our name due to my
political status, hence we sincerely propose to you to render us your most
needed assistance in this regard.
Though I believe this transaction should be based on mutuality and
confidentiality, and if you accept to render us your assistance as explained
above, I will introduce you to My personal lawyer, who will Teleguide you
through the process and as well make sure this transaction is carried out
legitimately for the the safety of all parties involved including you. I
have duly informed him that I am locating one of my lates husband's business
associates (you) to handle the funds and invest on our behalf, as he might
be opposed to our decision if he found out that we are only just getting to
know ourselves.
For your willingness to assist us in this huge project I am opened to
negotiate with you on what percentage share you will be compensated with for
your acceptance of this offer. Upon receipt of a favourable response from
you, i'll forward you with the necessary details you will be needing. Please
all correspondents between us should be only through email due to the
sensitivity nature of this transaction and that is why i have contacted you
through this medium.
Thanking you for you in advance as your response is highly anticipated.
With warm regards,
Ms. Shirley Yema Gbujama
