Dear Mr. VICTIMNAME,
I am contacting you and your firm for a business venture which my son John Kumara Fornah have contacted you for; my dear VICTIMNAME i know it is hard to trust someone you never know too well, but i am urging you to believe me and my family because we are for real and i will go to any lenght to prove that to you, all we ask is that you help us in this matter as we wish to start up a new life.
First of all may i introduce myself to you, I am Dr Mrs Paulina Jim Fornah, From the Diamond Rich town of Mende western Freetown Sierra Leone west Africa,I am the wife of late Dr Jim Fornah, my late husband held a lot of respected and envious position in the government of President Tejan Kabbah before his untimely death after a brief illness, He my Late husband was the former bank governor of my country Sierra Leone, he was also the finance and Economic advicer to President Tejan Kabbah, My late husband because of his position acquired lots of properties through diligence, God fearing and handwork.
Before the outbreak of the eight years Brutal civil war in my Country Sierra Leone, My late husband sold our family land which was rich in diamond deposits to an American Mining company , Because of the rebels brutality in my country, As the rebels were looting banks, finance houses and even breaking the national vaults. My late husband to safeguard the fund Hurried and went to Accra Ghana and Deposited the Fund worth $32 Million United States Dollars In a Security company. My Late husband whom was an asthmatic patient, died of cancer of the heart in 2001, in the United States of America on a Government Sponsored medical treatment.
My late husband`s corpse was Buried in our country home in Mende Western Freetown Sierra Leone, After The Burial of my late husband the rebels West side boys held Our Entire family hostage until the Government secured our release, Due to the break down of law and order, as the rebels were killing everybody recklessly, we left Freetown sierra Leone to Accra Ghana, We arrived Ghana through a boat with other Refugees, We are presently in Go moa Refugee camp Accra Ghana as refugees.
I have tried to locate the company to confirm this deposit and thank God I found the company, I then presented the documents to the director and told him that we wants to claim the deposited metallic Trunk Box in their custody.
The Director of the security company confirmed that they do have such Deposits with them based on the documents we presented to them, He went on to say Madam as you can see even from the agreement we can not release the Mettallic trunk box to you without the concept of your husbands foreign partner, this is why we contacted you so as to stand for us as my late Husband`s foreign partner and also our proxy to get this metallic box out of the Security company and transfer the fund to your country for any good investment which you will recommend to us,
We have resolved to give you 20% of the Total fund $32 Million united states Dollars as your compensation for helping us. What matters to us is trust, secrecy and confidentiality, as nobody else knows about this fund except Myself, my son and my only daughter and youself now. Even the Security company did not know the real content of the trunk metallic box because the content were declared/documented as artwork from the national museum.
We sincerely await your positive mail soon. Thanks
Yours Faithfully,
