Dear
,
With all my sincerity and passion I wish this mail meet
you in good mode, as all what you are about to read from
me is real and serious expecting your urgent attention.
I write to intimate you of a matter that requires an
urgent attention. But briefly, I am MRS Vivian Mark and Son Williams
age 34 years a full registered member ,a widow wife of
late Dr Ahmed A Mark CEO/Managing Director Sierra Leone
Gold & Diamond Mining Corporation. It is my pleasure
communicating with you for the first time and believe that
it will lead to a better relationship between us. I hope
you will not impede the trust and confidence I repose in
you.
I sent this letter from Abidjan in Cote d'Ivoire here I
have an official refugee status with my son after leaving
our country due to an event that took place on Febuary
2003 which led to the arrest and detention of my Husband
and six other men after a face off with the Sierra-Leone
government on allegation of subversive activities and
treasonable offences which was nothing but a mere
political persecution.
After five months in the military detention camp my
Husband was announced dead by the government special press
release. Though I do not know to what extent you are
familiar with the event and crisis in Sierra-Leone,
however during the disturbance and prior to my Husband's
death he gave me all the deposit slip for the secret
deposit he made in a private bank account here in Abidjan
Cote Divoire. The deposit is US$ 10.5 Million US Dollars,
he made the deposit in a private bank account in Abidjan
Abidjan Cote Divoire, You will confirm and clarify the
existence of this very fund after all neccessary
arrangement are put in place for this fund transfer into
your private bank account for full security before we
decide on what kind of investment together
.
However I have establised the ownership of this very fund
in the bank to confirm the deposit and , please I need
your assistance to help me move out all this fund to be
transfered into your private bank account abroad hence I
am very worried here because of the insecurity in the
country, and urgently in moving this fund to your country
for our investment, when the fund is properly secured we
will jointly invest in any business you consider
profitable.
I will be glad for your resolved assistance, I will kindly
appreciate you if we can talk and emerge words with
action. With all honesty and humility to the stated data
in my message,I assure you of the genuity of this fund
transfer as it is real and there is no danger attached to
it , this you will confirm . I will particularly be happy
if you can handle this transaction in the most
confidential manner since the rest of my life and that of
my only son solely depends on this fund.
It is the fear of betrayal from any one around us here
that informed my decision to contact a neutral individual
like you, and I want you to educate us on investment
potential in your country since I would not like to invest
or stay in any of the African country.
I will not hesitate to give you 20% or whatever percentage
you will want out of the total sum for your assistance, so
if you will be able to assist me and my son in helping us
transfer out this very fund into your private bank account
for our investment as I will be willing to forward you
every neccessary deposit slip from a private bank account
in Abidjan , and the office contact immediately, Please do
urgently reply me on the private email address below for
further clarification and confirmation.
Thank for your anticipated co-operation,
May God bless
you.
Your Sincerely,
I am MRS Vivian Mark and Son Williams
A.Widow.
