Subject: YOUR ATTENTION!
Dear Sir,
I am Mrs. Richael Ngeuma. I came across your contact details in my desperate
search for immediate assistance. I have just arrived at Benin Republic,
thinking of how to settle/start life again because I am just having rest of
mind now, since then. After fleeing renewed fighting in Sierra-Leone. Of the
2,030 of us who ran from the village, just 78 of us made it across the
boarder. I lost my husband and daughter during this flight and I am left
with a son. There is a pain in my heart because I haven't see or heard peace
in the last 10 years. Just bloodshed and sorrow. I wonder if it will ever
end.
I seek your help in retrieving money belonging to my husband. My late
husband, DR.Ejiro Ngeuma, was a devoted family man and a very successful
Diamond /Gold trader in the region of Bo in Sierra-Leone. We were a happy
family of four (4) before the beginning of the civil war in 1999.We were
forced to seek refuge in the neighboring country of Benin Rep.while the war
was going on, so we hid our life savings in the family tomb and fled. We
returned when we heard news of a peace treaty signed in 2003. We were
decieved. The war escalated beyond imagination and it was nothing but
sorrow, tears and blood the rebels left in its wake. My husband and I sold
our remaining cache of Diamonds /Gold to a Lebanese middle man and was paid
cash for it. The funds were then shipped out of the country to Europe using
the "Diamond /Gold trade Route",which he was very familiar with(it was how
Sierra-Leone Diamonds and Golds ends up in capital cities of developed
Nations).We then make plans to move and settle in Europe as we were tired of
the bloodshed, but unfortunately it was not to be. Our village was raided.
It was during the operation no living thing embarked upon by the Fonday
Sankoh- Led Ruf rebel forces that I lost my husband and daughter.
Now, my surviving son and I have been going through hell while the funds are
trapped with a security company in Europe. We lost our traveling documents
in our haste to escape the fighting and beside we do not have any money on
us. All we had was lost in the flight out of the worst fighting areas. What
we need now is an individual who have compassion on the poor window of my
type and come to her aid by retrieving this funds from the security company
by means of claiming/clearing the consignment. This consignment contain the
money for security reasons, the funds total at least US$ 38.5 million
Dollars and GB# 7.82 million pounds. This money is kept with the security
company inform of consignment for security reasons. Nobody except me knows
about this, I am willing to offer you a commission for your assistance
depending on what is agreed upon by both of us. I will like to tell you that
10% of each said amount goes for expenses.
All you have to do is, send me your immediate response. All necessary
information’s and deposit certificate of the security company will be send
to you when due, and both (secret and answers to preset questions) and
location of security company with this, you can claim the money, they've
been directed to. If you will be able to assist, kindly let me know
immediately by replying me through my e-mail so we can begin procedures at
once, as my only son is critically ill. you are free to ask questions where
you don't understand. I eagerly await your favorable response.
Best Regard,
Mrs. Richael Ngeuma.
