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 daugther of late Mr. and Mrs Fred
Nzinga Litana who was assisinated 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 Secure Finance Vault in Europe. 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 I seeked asylum, that is how I now went to stay in
the Refugee Camp. So that is where am currently staying for now. But the
problem am encoutering now is that due to my present status I can not be
able to fly to Europe to clear this fund.
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 forieng partner who can
help 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 Coutry and I will be very glad to Please once can
help me with this project, I will offer 15% percent of themoney 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 sillitana@msn.com as it is the most
confidential for me at the moment I will be waiting to hear your favourable
response.
