Subject: GOD IS GOOD FOR ME//John Berrevoets
ATTENTION::DEAR.
PLEASE HELP US TO INVEST IN YOUR COUNTRY,
I wish to solicit your help in migrating to your country and investing my funds.
Briefly, I am a Sierra Leonean National and the wife of late Dr Samson Walter.Until the death of my husband he was the General overseer of the Diamond Mine in
Kanema Sierra Leone. On April 6 2000 the military forces loyal to the Government of Ahmed TIJAN KABBAH invaded the diamond mine and assassinated my husband,
Revolutionary United Front (RUF ).
When the news reached me, I hurried and gathered some valuables in our family villa and escaped for my dear life in the company of my only son Jim. Among the valuables was a file that contained details of a deposit which my husband made with a security company in
Lome Togo in West Africa.
He deposited $15 million (united states dollars) contained in 1 trunk box for our son Jim as family
valuables for security puposes,that was he did not mention it to the security company.This is money he made from the sale of Gold and diamonds during his time as the General overseer.
Now that we are in Togo,I have gone to verify with the security company where this money is drposited with the Certificate of deposit they issued to him when he deposited it and they confirmed the existence of this box in their custody, so i need your assistance to move this funds out from Togo here to your country for investment as i cannot invest the money here due to its nearness to our country and the war is still going on there.
We ask you to search for a viable and lucrative business which this money can be invested and let make arrangement here with this company to change the benefiary's name into yours and release this box to you so that you can now help us in investing the money and as well make arrangement for us to come over there to stay.We have it in mind to give you 10% of the total sum ($15 Million), and 15% share in any investment we will embark upon if you assist us. We will also set aside 5% of the funds for little
expenses which you will make in course of this transaction- fax messages, phone calls, air tickets etc.
This fortune we have revealed to you should remain confidential as it is only you who we has idea about this. Note that there is risk involved in this as this is very genuine.
We still remain yours sincerely.
Grace Walter and son.
