Bonjour !

Je vous écris pour une proposition afin de m'aider. Si vous ne pouvez pas,
conservez ce message confidentiellement à cause de ma situation. Je me nomme
Solange Bangura. Je suis la femme du défunt ministre des ressources minières
de la Sierra Leone monsieur David Bangura. A cause de la situation politique
que vivait notre pays, il a été assassiné. Depuis cela, je vis en côte
d'ivoire comme réfugiée.

Etant donné que la situation socio politique de la côte d'ivoire n'est pas
bonne, j'ai peur pour ma personne car ici personne ne voit le bout du tunnel
pour le moment.

Je vis avec mes deux enfants et avec la situation ici, monter une affaire
est très difficile. Avant la mort de mon mari, il a déposé des fonds en côte
d'ivoire. J'ai tous les documents prouvant l'existence des fonds.

Je demande donc votre assistance pour m'aider à quitter le pays afin de
venir vous rejoindre pour investir dans votre pays. Je vous garantie des
intérêts à la fin de l'opération.
J'attends votre réponse pour entamer et finaliser quand vous me transmettrez
toutes vos coordonnées.

Que Dieu vous bénisse.
Solange Bangura .
