Subject: Greetings
Dear Friend,
Based on the information and recommendation I got about quick business, investment and commerce in your country, I deemed it necessary to write and inform you about my interest to invest in any viable venture in joint partnership with you. Am Mrs. Harriet George, the first wife of King George K.S.M, King of Mendes tribe in Sierra Leone . On the 19th of May,2005,My husband was murdered by some rebel group on the accusation that he is a great sponsor and in support to restore democratically elected President ;Alhaji Tijan Kabbah.
Almost half of the palace was burnt to ashes. Fortunately, i was not in the palace when they raided the palace; my husband, as an African chief, married four wives, with sixteen children, all with my three children were murdered in cold blood, while my second son escaped the incident with bullet wound on his right leg. At the moment where the remaining families are, I don’t know am left alone with only one son since the sudden assassination of my husband. The family has been displaced and totally disorganized left with nothing. Early that year, prior to my husband’s death, he gave me some documents to keep for him as his most educated wife. Furthermore, he drew my attention to the fact that he deposited about $16.5million USD in a trunk box with a [private security company in Europe As a family treasure.
The documents he gave me before his death covers the deposit and his will along with other international business. I have contacted the security company to confirm the deposit with the documents at my disposal and all intact. Now, I wish to transfer these funds abroad and enter into a business venture as my country is not conducive for me to do business have decided to contact you for assistance, to lift this money out of the Security/Finance Company to any country you may decide and help me iron out some profitable business thereafter.Please reply to widowofheaven@yahoo.com I am waiting for your urgent reply as soon as you get this mail. Thanks and God bless. Harriet George.Reply to widowofheaven@yahoo.com
