Subject: Dear Sir/ Madam
Dear Sir/ Madam
It will surely be a surprise to you to have received this mail from me. I
got your contact through your country's Trade Journal here in Holland. I was
directed to you after much fasting and prayer, seeking God intervention in
my life regarding my planes to seek a foreign trustworthy person whom will
serve as guardian of my Fund and family valuables(daimond) worth several
million in dollars for investment.
Please do not disclose my business intentions to any person or group of
person, because I want it to be handled as confidential as possible. This is
the reason why I decided to contact you by email. First I must introduce
myself. I am Mrs. Sanko Ama Otumuku the wife of Mr. Kuala amana Otumuku one
of the key officer who where sarving under the then head of state Major
Johnny Koroma in Sierra Leone.
As you are fully aware, my country relied heavily on the foreign earning
generated from Diamond Trade. This money was personally kept by the then
President, Major Johnny Koroma, since our banking system had collapsed
during the war.
However, as the war progressed, it became apparent that we were going to
lose the war to the superior and better armed West African Allied Forces
(ECOMOG). At this point, the key officers of the Administration started
making frantic efforts on how to leave Sierra Leone safely, thereby sharing
the proceeds / money from the Diamond Trade. My husband being one of the key
officers who succeeded in getting the sum of US$14.5 Million (Fourteen
Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) and four cubes of
africa blue daimonds.
This Money and valuables was transferred through diplomatic means to South
Africa and kept in a security company, I and my family lived for good three
years in South Africa till the untimely death of my husband through heart
attack after 3 years of exile in South Africa, I and my two children
automatically became the legal owner of the said money since I was the only
wife in the family.
My two beautiful daughters God has giving me are now still in South Africa,
after I realized I need to invest the Fund outside African country, I
decided to convey the legacy to Europe with the help of the courier
company, on arriving here, I deposited it with the courier company for safe
keeping although the courier company is not aware of the content of the
consignment.
Presently I'm living in The Luxembourg seeking political asylum, just to
make sure I can secure my staying here also to monitor my Fund. Although we
have not met, I need you as a trustworthy person that will assist me and my
family to transfer this money to his or her account outside Europe, as the
strict monetary laws here do not allow asylum seekers certain financial
rights to open a foreign account.
I shall be grateful if you assist me to accomplish this transaction and
hoping too that you remain trustworthy, that you will not take any advantage
of me after the Fund is under your custody.
As I promise you that, you will never regret knowing me, you will not regret
your effort and assistance; I am prepared to give you 20% of the total sum
while 5%will be set aside for all the expenses incurred during the course of
this transaction. The rest 75% will be for my family investment in your
country.
Note that this transaction is 100% risk free as such the only thing I ask
from you is total assistance to transfer this money, complete trust and
assurance that my own part of the money will be safe when transferred to
your country.
If you are touched and interested in assisting me please contact me by
email.(ama2646798@yahoo.co.uk)
Kind Regards.
Mrs.Ama Sanko Otumuku
