Subject: pls i need your help
good day sir
This proposal to you is strictly confidential, with due respect .Sorry at
this perceived confusion or stress you may have receiving this letter from
me, Since we have not known ourselves or met previously. Despite that, I am
constrained to write you this letter because of the urgency of it.
I am Mrs. Bennie Khobe, the wife of late Gen. Maxwell Khobe former ECOMOG
[West African peacekeeping force] commander who died in the Sierra Leone
civil disturbance [War]. My three daughters and I are trapped in obnoxious
custom traditional rites.
We have suffered maltreatment and untold hardship in the hands of my late
husbands family, simple because I did not bear a male child for my late
husband By tradition, all that my husband had, [wealth] belongs to his
brothersfamily and myself is to be married by his immediate younger brother.
They have taken all that I suffered with my husband to acquire including
treasure, houses and his bank accounts closed by them. I wanted to escape to
the United State of America [USA} with my children on exile, but again they
conspired and stole my international passport and other traveling documents
to further frustrate me. Thank God, two weeks ago, I received Key Text Code
[KTC} from SECURITIES COMPANY, that my husband deposited U.S $5.5 Million
[Five Million five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars] cash with this
company. It has therefore, become very necessary and urgent to contact some
one, a foreigner like you to help me receive secure these funds overseas and
to help invest it on our behalf as well, while we find a way of getting out
to meet with you in your country.
These funds are kept on a CODE with the Securities Company to avoid
detection, seizure or diversion. I have had several telephone discussions
with the Assistant Director of the Securities Company, Mr. MARTINS GILBERT
who has express willingness to help me on meeting the company’s demand. This
is why I have contacted you to help save my children and I, receive these
funds on our behalf. But, you would need to give me sufficient assurance
that if you help me, you would
not divert the funds. My children and I have resolved to give you 20% of the
total sum. This is all my
children and I have got to live on. Please, I have reposed my confidence in
you and hope you will not disappoint me. I will forward you the contact of
Mr. MARTINS GILBERT for you to contact him and ask him the possibility of
receiving this fund on our behalf as the sole beneficiary look forward to
your urgent response.
Best Personal Regards.
Mrs. Bennie Khobe.
