I currently have within my reach the sum of 14.3 million U.S America dollars cash which I intend to use for investment purposes. I therefore personally appeal to you seriously for your urgent assistance to move this money in to your country where I believe it will be safe since I cannot leave the country due to the restriction of movement imposed on the members of my family by the SUDAN Government.
In view of this I want to act very fast to withdraw this money from one of our finance houses before it will be closed down,My husband deposited this money in a finance firm in senegal Dakar for safe keeping .No record is known about this fund by the government because there is no documentation showing that we have
such funds.
Furthermore, my husband is Popular Congress, Former Minister in my country and was arrested and detenied some order people in june last year 2005 in khartoum following the charges of State organized murder and corrupt practices. and l dont know when he will be released by the Supreme Court. regarding his freedom. and he is still under interrogation,the are asking my husband's assets and some vital documents. wish is with me,
Due to the current situation in the country and government attitude to my family,I cannot make use of this money within, I seek your help in transferring this funds out for investment than leaving the fund there and l want to invest the money to profit my family, l hope you will assist me.I am seriously considering to settle down abroad in a friendly atmosphere like yours as soon as this fund get into your account, so that me and my only son can start all over again before my husband will be out,if only you wish. I shall ask my son Mohammed to come over to your country to liaise with you. If this proposal satisfies you. please do not leed me out to the security as I am giving you this information in total trust, .
Please kindly reply and include your personal telephone and fax numbers.with your pictures Conclusively,we have decided to give you 25% of the total money,10% will be for expenses incurred during thecause of this transaction, while
65% is to be held on trust by you until we can decide on a suitable business investment in your country subsequent to our free movement by the SUDAN
Government.
I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith.
Your URGENT response is needed. please take look at this web side.
