Subject: From Mrs. Mary Coleman.
Dear,
Compliments of the day. I hope that this letter does not come to you as a
surprise because we have not met. However, I urge you to treat the
information which it contains with due and utmost attention. Apart from
being eternally grateful to you, I also assure you that you shall be
adequately compensated.
My name is Mrs. Mary Coleman. I am the wife of Late Mr. Vincent Coleman who
served as the chief security officer to president Kabah of Sierra Leone.
Unfortunately, my husband was killed during the over throw of 24th December
2001.
I came to know of you during my search for a reliable person to handle a
Very confidential business transaction, which involves the transfer of
a huge sum of $6.3,000,000. (Million US dollars) which was Deposited in a
finance house here in Malaysia. My husband deposited the fund for safe
Keeping during the time the military was trying to overthrow President
Tijan Kabah. My husband was killed along with president kabah in that coup d
tact, and I am the only person who has all the legal documents to claim this
money as the next of kin.
My husband gave me all the legal documents covering this fund
days before his death. I was waiting for things to came down before
making any move, but the recent crisis in my country has forced me
to make the move now. For now, my son and I are in asylum here in Malaysia.
Right now, the money is in a safe place. I am using this opportunity to
seek for your assistance to transfer this money into your account which will
be invested in your country. All you need to do is to open a new account
that we will use for this transaction and forward to me the account
information so that I can instruct my late husbands attorney to make a
formal application of clime and transfer to the finance firm here in
Malaysia, then when the money is finally transferred I will send my son
(MICHAEL) to come over to your country for proper negotiation and
investment.
We don't have any business to cover-up, that is why we need your
Assistance. If you agree to this proposal, we shall discuss on the
percentage and I will also forward to you all the legal documents
covering this fund for your confirmation. I await your quick response.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Mary Coleman.
