Dear,
Compliments of the day. I hope that this letter does not surprise you
Because we have not met. However, I urge you to treat the information
Which it contains with due and utmost attention. Apart from being
Eternally grateful to you, I also assure that you shall be adequately
Compensated.
My name is Mrs Mary Koffi. I am the wife of Mr. Vincent Koffi who
Served as the chief security officer to president Kabah of Sierra
Leone. Unfortunately, my husband was killed during the over throw of
24th December 2001.
I came to know of you in my search of a reliable person to handle a
Very confidential business transaction, which involves the transfer of
a huge sum of $10,000,000.0( million US dollars) which was
Deposited in a finance house. My husband deposited the fund for safe
Keeping during the time the military were trying to overthrow president
Tijan Kabah. My husband was killed along with president kabah in that coup
d tact, and I am the only person who has all the legal documents to claim
This money.
My husband gave me all the legal documents that covers this fund
days before his death. I was waiting for things to cool down before
making my move but the recent crisis in my country has forced me
to make the move now. For now, my son and I is in refugee camp in Nigeria.
Right now, the money is in a safe place. I am using this opportunity to
seek for your assistance to transfer this money into your account to be
invested in your country. All you need to do is to forward to me an account
where this money will be sent to so that I can send my son (MICHAEL)to come
over to your country for investment.
We don't have any business to cover-up, that is why we need your
Assistance. If you agree to this proposal, we shall discuss on the
percentage and I will also forward to you all the legal documents that
covers this fund for confirmation. Please reply with this email address:mrs_emilia@latinmail.com
I awaits your quick response.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs Mary Koffi/ Michael son
