Dear ,
First and foremost, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this
transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given genuine
approval considering the facts we have not known each other before; I wish
to use this opportunity to Introduce myself to you.
I am (Mrs.Mariam Weah Addo ) from Liberia, West Africa. I write to inform
you my desire to invest, and to buy a living house in your country.I am the
wife of Mr. Weah Addo; my husband was a diamond/gold merchantin my
country.My husband had a bullet shot by the rebels on his way traveling out
of my country with two of my daughters due to present crisis that is
occurring in our country (Liberia).
My daughters died on the spot while UN peacemaker, keeping force rescued my
late husband, and he was taken to hospital for medical treatment, which he
later died. Before he died he revealed to me and my son about the boxes
containing: 85 kilo of raw gold and $12.5 million,(twelve million and five
hundred thousand us dollars). Which he deposited with a security company in
Ghana for safekeeping. My husband did not disclose any of the content of the
boxes to the security company.To avoid the officials from raising eyebrows
to the funds.Presently my son and myself are here in Ghana to notify the
security company for the claims, and we are staying in the refugee camp.
Therefore I want you to lecture me on how best we can invest this
money,because my husband told me that it is dangerous to invest this money
in Africa to avoid suspicions, and due to market instability coupled with
economic and political instability facing African count rise,that is why we
want to invest in Abroad.
For your mutual assistance, my son and myself have agreed to offer you 25%
of the total amount of the money. We have all the vital documents covering
the deposit and the ownership,which I can send to you through fax on
request. Note: I have never disclosed this to any person apart from you, so
you have to keep this transaction as a top secret to yourself alone. Which I
will want you to forward across to me your direct Tel/Fax number for more
information's about this transaction.
I am waiting for your urgent and positive feedback.
Best regards,
Mrs.Mariam Weah Addo
(For the entire family)
