Ms. Shirley Yema Gbujama
Minister of Social Welfare,
Gender and Children Affairs Republic of Sierra Leone
Hello,
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 database and after due assessment 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 Leona, 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 Leona. You

http://www.statehouse-sl.org/sygbujama.html
My husband Mr. Thomas Gbujama, was a successful businessman and he had
direct dealings with foreign investors in his field of business, But his
live was cut short while on an official trip to one of his project sites,
where they were attacked by rebels 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) totaling $14,500,000.00 (Fourteen Million, Five
Hundred Thousand 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 in
other 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.
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 Tele guide you through the
process and as well make sure this transaction is carried out legitimately
for the safety of all parties involved including you. I have duly informed
him that I am locating one of my late 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 favorable response from you, I’ll forward you with the
necessary details you will need. 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 in advance as your response is highly anticipated.
With warm regards,
Ms. Shirley Yema Gbujama
Minister of Social Welfare, Gender and Children Affairs
Republic of Sierra Leone
