Subject: l need your help?
Dear Mr/Mrs,
Your contact has been gotten from after a search for a person whom we can jointly invest Trust in and also solicit a Honourable partnership with.My name is princess janet foday Sankoh,i am 24 years old the only daugther of late Chief Foday johnson Sankoh.
Presently i am in the asylum camp here in the Senegal since the past five years.I have been keeping this issue for the past five years .
What i mean is that i want to finally move away from Africa (me and my mother) to start a new life overthere in abroad this is because i do not have any family no more and no relatives .The war split everybody .Maybe some of them are still alive which i dont know , our mighty house and properties are no more.My younger brother and sister died during the war.My father,late Foday johnson Sankoh , popularly know as Gipu in our country ,he was an independent Diamond marketer in Kono District,Sierra Leone.
Unfortunatetly for us,he was among the twelve prominent citizens executed by our President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah.To know more about me and my father you can go through this website:
<<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/3112659.stm>>
They where executed in 1999 but before my late father was arrested he has already handed over some documents to me,which reveals that , he has deposited a sum of amount with a bank here in senegal dakar worth $8.6 million United States Dollars.
Right now,myself and my mother are in refugees camp here in Senegal we flee because of the war in our country . I want you to assist us facilitates the removal of the funds from the BANK and later assist us to buy house in your country and invest the rest for us in any business since we do not want to re-settled in Africa due to the instruction my late father gave me and for people not to set their eyes on our family.
If i have your co-operation, i will see that you are generously compensated.Please indicate your interest by replying to me on this email (princess_jn20062005@yahoo.fr <mailto:princess_jn20062005@yahoo.fr>) so that i can send the necessary documents you need to transfer the funds account.
Yours faithfully,
princess janet sankoh johnson.
