Greetings,
Compliment of the day.I Know that my mail to you may come as a surprise to you considering the fact that we have not met each other before. My name is Mrs. Linde Kamara Momodu, wife of the late former Special adviser to the former military president of Sierra Leone,Major Johnny Koroma. My husband was an inner caucus member and a key officer of President Koroma's administration. I believe you may have heard all over the news on BBC and CNN about the various coup attempts to overthrow President Koroma which led to the civil war in Sierra Leone some years ago between Koroma's administration and the West African Allied Forces (ECOMOG).
During that war, President Koroma depended heavily on foreign earnings generated from our country's booming Diamond trade and plenty of money and arms that he received from secret sponsors/countries who supported his government and supplied him with arms and money to fight the opposition forces and remain in power. All the money and diamonds were kept by President Koroma in his presidential villa, because our entire country's banking systems had collapsed as a result of the war.
As the war progressed, it became obvious that President Koroma's faction were going to loose the war to the opposition Forces, so most of the Koroma's key officers had to flee from Sierra Leone for the safety of their lives. It was case of survival of the fittest, so they shared all the Diamonds and money remaining in their custody. At that time, my husband was unable to move his own share of the funds/money out of Sierra leone, because our banking systems were completely destroyed. We alternatively had no choice than to look for a safe hide out, somewhere in the city of Lungi,Sierra Leone where we hid the money before we escaped to South Africa. My husband died of heart attack after several months on exile, and since then i have been left alone with my son Joseph to take care of the rest of our entire family.
I have contacted you because i am now making arrangements to move my husband's funds/money out of Sierra Leone to an oversea country where the money will be safe. I am making arrangements to move the money out of Sierra Leone to a foreign country and in need of a trusted person who will assist me receive the money and make plans for safe keeping and good investments. I am willing to sacrifice and offer you some part of the money for your assistance, as We have US$32 Million Dollars of my fractions hidden back there in Sierra Leone (this is valued at 27.2 million Euro) hidden back there in Sierra Leone.
My dear, I need to know if you can work with me, so that i can give you more details of my arrangements to move the funds oversea. I will be waiting to hear from you if you are interested and capable of assisting and please endeavour to keep all my discussions about this money confidential to ensure that we have a 100% smooth movement of the funds.Please if interested in working wih me do not hesitate to get back to me soonest .May God bless you.
Regards,
Mrs Linde Momodu
