FROM MRS VICTORIA FATOU SANKOH

Dear Friend,
I do hope my letter will not embarrass you since there was no previous
Correspondence held with you. By getting your address is the handwork of the
almighty God. Since then, I have been very much hopeful that you will
assist us irrespective of the fact that the present world is full of
dishonesty and distrust.
Firstly, I will wish to introduce myself. I am Mrs.VICTORIA FATOU SANKOH,
from Sierra Leone; I am the wife of, CPL FODAY SANKOH. My husband was the
Leader of the Revolutionary United Front until he was dethroned and arrested
few years back by President TEJAN KABBAH who later handed him over to the
United Nations war crime tribunal were he later died in detention.
But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he
deposited the sum of US$15.4m (Fifteen million four hundered Thousand United
States Dollars)in the name of our only son 'SAMCO' at a reputable security
company in South Africa .This consignment was deposited as family
valuables which means the security conpany are not awere of the content of
the box.
I arrived here in SOUTH AFRICA a couple of months ago with my three children
and through a good contact l applied for a refugee status as an asylum
seeker, which is still pending in Home Affairs Department. The problem now
is that because of our status, we cannot risk moving the money without help
hence I am looking for a trustworthy partner, who can help me move this
money out of SOUTH AFRICA .
In that case, I want to know if you can help me transfer the fund into your
account in your country or elsewhere since time is not on my side.
As a widow of three children I need your urgent attention to this matter. It
is true that we have neither met nor known each other before, but the
information I gathered of your credibility makes me believe that with trust
and honesty we will achieve a huge success in about a week. I will leave
together with my children from SOUTH AFRICA to your country immediately the
money goes into your account.
For your noble assistance and well assured of safeguarding the whole Fund
under your care, I will offer you 30% of the total sum, while 10% will be
set aside for expenses incurred on the cause of this transaction by both
parties, while the remaining 60% will be for me and my family. I want to
assure you that this business is completely risk free because every
arrangement has been made for a successful deal.
I expect your immediate response so that we can conclude the Transaction in
the very shortest time. It is very important that you keep this business
HIGHY CONFIDENTIAL because I do not want anything to happen to this fund.
Please contact me directly on this Email address :
mrsvictoria_sankohfamily@yahoo.com
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards,
Mrs.Victoria F Sankoh
