Subject: PLEASE I NEED YOUR URGENT RESPONDS
My Dear,
How are you, hope all is well with you and your family. My name is Roseline Turay. A young single girl from Sierre-leone( West Africa). I am 27years old and a house girl by profession (Maid).
My dear, i have a very kind proposal to make with you which I believe will be helpful to both of us.
Like I told you at the beginning, I am a house maid working under a woman who died recently in the previous civil war in our country. Before her death, she was a very well known diamond merchant in Africa and abroad who lived in Sierra Leone, since Diamond is our country's main source of income. My late madam died having one son and no husband and the son have been living abroad for many years without anybody knowing his whereabout even and after the death of the mother.
As a mark of appreciation for working with my Madam for several years,she wrote a WILL in my name comprising of US$ 2.7 million which is presently with one leeding bank in Europe with me as the beneficiary.
l am presently living here in Dakar as a refugee as the result of the last civil war in Sierre-Loene and now i am afraid to return back in my country' since i suspect that the people that kill my employee will still be after my life.
Initially i have contacted the bank asking for the possibility to withdraw the money by myself, but they declined my request to claim the money despite my status as the next of kin. They said that since i am in a refugee camp here in dakar, that it will be difficult for me, since their banking law forbid anybody with such status (refugee) to treat or handle anything money/banking transaction. But they ask me to look for a foreign person that will stand on my behalf to claim the money and they assured me that they will give anybody chosen by me the right to claim the money. And since my main objective is to live this so-called africa where there is full of war,crime and political instabilities and migrate abroad.that is why i have chosen you, since i plan to live the rest of my life with you after the transfer of my money to you.
For your assistance I will offer you 10% for making my dream come true, and also 5% for any expenses that may arise during and after the transfer of the money to you.
Please note that all documents relating to this transaction is with my late Madams lawyer, I will make them available once you indicate your willingness to assist me.
Kindly include your telephone/fax number and other related information
about yourself in your reply to enable my lawyer call you for more clarification.
Please make sure all your replies are directed to my private email address ...rosy4all225@yahoo.cu.uk <mailto:...rosy4all225@yahoo.cu.uk>.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day and God bless you.
Best regards,
Roseline Turay.
