Subject: DEAR BELOVE
Dear friend,
It is my humble pleasure to write you this important
letter, irrespective of the fact that we have not met
for the first time or known each other before.
However, I was able to get your contact through an international profile in
my earnest search for a reliable and trustworthy person, firm, or group of
persons that can handle this confidential transaction with me.
My name is Joyce Lamar,the wife of Chief Williams .J.Lamar(the former
financial Director of Sierra Leone national minning corporation) who was
killed and mutilated by the military junta led by Major Foday Sankoh after
overthrowing the elected government of President Tejan Kabah,
though I do not know to what extent you are familiar with this events and
disturbances in Sierra Leone but it has consistent features in news and
bulletins.The pressure of war drove the rest of our family out of Sierra
Leone into exile where we have been living under political asylum
till now.I am now here with my 4 children and myself,
But before the death of my husband he handed over to me a certificate meant
for a secret deposited trunk box which he made in a security company,
and he disclosed to me that the trunk box contains US$25,000.000.00 (Twenty
Five Million United States Dollars) withholding the truth of the real
content for security reasons, even the Security Firm is not aware that the
boxes contains Money till now.
The Money was paid to the minning corporation under him by it's overseas
customers in the heat of the war but he made the deposit in his name with
the hope of converting it to his personal use at the end of the war but was
killed when the conflict intensified as a result of his opposition to the
rebel forces.I have contacted the Security Company to confirm the deposit
and established
ownership.I have decided to solicit for the assistance of an honest and
trustworthy person that will assist me in the withdrawal of the trunk boxes
for investment purposes.
I cannot do it alone due to my present status and total ignorance in
business and investment world. You will be given a nogotiable percentage of
the money at the end of the transaction. If you are trustworthy and
interested in the proposal, contact me immediately for more details.
Endeavor to include your personal/private telephoneand fax number when
replying to maintain absolute confidentiality to ensure success.
please kindly reply to my private email box
joycelamar@globalum.com
Best regards,
Mrs. Joyce Lamar
