Subject: INVESTMEN/HELP
Dear Sir
LUCY MARTINS ,FROM SIERRALEONE WEST AFRICA.
Dearest, I know that this letter may or may not come to you as a
surprise. But after much considerations I decided to open up this
transaction to you. Recently I am a final year student of the
Moyamba high school in Moyamba S/leone, West Africa. Early in
January 1999 , the rebels in my country struck our township and
killed my parents in one of their attacks, my late father Dr George
Martins, being the Managing Director of the Port of Freetown is a
prime target to kill. Fortunately for me I was in school when the
attack took place. I equally lost my only sister to the rebels. When
I got home the remains of my Family and the subsequent burial that
followed,After some years, I discovered a document indicating that
my late Father has deposited some $7.5M.United States Dollars
with one of the security leading Bank in europe
This fund according to the documents was meant for the building of
an Auto repair company by my late father. Upon the discovery of this
document, I try to locate the concerned security company which is a
means of banking and to make claims for the said money as the only
surviving next of kin to my father. I have succeeded in making the
people at the Security Company believe that I am the next of Kin
Therefore all the documents related are now with me. I do not know
what to do with it but I have decided to contact you to seek your
assistance in helping me to retrieved it out from the security company in
europe
and transfer it to your account and then you will from the fund,Send
some money to me which i will use to finish up my paper work to
come to you in your country to continue my education and so
that you will help me to get the money invested until such a time
that I will be ready to begin to use it. I am really desperate as I
am left alone now in the world. Let me know what you want as
compensation for helping me to solve this my problem. Most
importantly, I seriously appeal that you maintain high level of
secrecy and confidentiality in the whole thing. Please Contact me
with this Email:(lucymartins1@yahoo.ca)
Meanwhile,you should note that iam presently seeking for my Refugee
Statues here in Cotonou ,Benin-Repubic Because i came here and then have
to declar
myself to the United Nations and finally meet someone whom took me
to the chuch people and then there i explained all my problems
and finally there is help somehow because i mate a Seminarin there
and he is trying to help me to withdraw the fund and finally the
bank Manager dosent agree with us because he said that,Iam too young
to handle this kind money,And i have a Refugee Statues already and
that i have to sarch for a forigner whom will stand on my behalf for
the claim and this is the advice that he gave to me.Well i hope
everything will went un sucessfully for both of us and i will like
us to discauss about the percentage or do you cares to marry me then
all will be a beneffit between both of us and i dose'nt want
anything betray because we shall legalize everything with the lawyer
here since the security company told us already this and thank you again for
your kindness with me and God will also help u for trying to help an
orphan like me.
I remain yours sincerely,
Lucy Martins.
