Subject: From Silvia
Dear Friend,
First, I must apologize if my mode of first contact is
not acceptable to you and also solicit your confidence
in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature
as being utterly private and top secret.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude
will make anyone apprehensive and worried
My Name is Silvia Litana,I am the only daughter of
late Mr. and Mrs Fred Nzinga Litana who was
assassinated in 2002 during a political unrest that
engulfed my Country Zambia recently. They where shot
to dead my unknown Person(s) who where accusing him of
funding and sponsoring a factional Political group
with his money. So in respect of this they came to our
House and shot everyone dead including my two younger
Siblings by then I was not at home,But fortunately my
Father did not die instantly that day. It took him
three Months later after that incident before he
finally gave up the ghost.
Before the death of my father, on October 28, 2002, in
a private hospital, he secretly called me on his
bedside and told me that he has the sum of Fifteen
Million, Five Hundred Thousand United
States(US$15.5Million dollars he deposited it in a
Finance and Security company with
my name as next of kin to the fund.
Now, after the recent crisis that burst up in my
Country I ran to Senegal where my father deposited the
fund and seeked asylum, that is how I now went to stay
in the a Refugee Camp. So that is where am currently
staying for now. But the problem am encountering now
is that when I went to the financial holding company
to withdraw the money. I was made to understand that
with my status as a refugee I can not be able to clear
the fund, but can do so with the help of a foreign
partner. They told me that the local law hear does not
Permit a refugee to operate any business at all, nor
transact a fund of such magnitude.
So please dear, I am pleading, if you can help me and
stand as my nominated next-of-kin and withdraw the
fund for me (USS15.5 Million Dollars) to your account
in your Country and I will be very glad to
Please once can help me with this project, I will
offer 15% percent of the money then after I will
Come over to your Country to start up a new life. And
also go into any profitable business you will advise
me to do.
Please you can reply me with this alternate email
address silvialitan23@walla.com </ym/Compose?To=silvialitan23@walla.com> as it is the most
confidential for me at the moment
I will be waiting to hear your favourable response.
Sincerely,
Silvia Litana
