Dear,
Please forgive me for this impromptu mail,since i do not know anything about you,
apart from the fact that i was told that with proper arrangement you can help me, i
most tell you we have suffered, we have seen dead,suffering,hunger etc. i want you
to appreciate peace in your country, i will like you to pray you not experience war
like in my country, sudan where war has stolen our joy.
My name is Mariam Mohammed 20yrs old from darfur, sudan. i have a little brother 5yrs
his name Ali, my dad is Alhaji. Ibrahim Mohammed, he buys and sells diamond and
precious stones,gold. he was killed among many in darfur that has died so far, the day the
rebels came to our house shut my dad and his friend on 13th Jan.2007, my brother,step
mother and i, we manage to escape,my stepmother was later kill when we were escaping
by bad people after raping her. my brother and i run to Kutum refugee camp in northern
darfur sudan, before the death of my dad he told me and stepmum long before his death that he keep three(3) boxes in Provident Insurance and Security Company Ghana, which have a office in sudan here where every agreements was sailed, all valid documents with me now. he said one box have inside 150kg of gold and some other precious stone such as diamond ,about 43ft long
snake skin, pictures and a horn he bought from kenya. the third box have inside cash
($16 million usd) he made from buying and selling of fine stones and gold,he put these
boxes in this company since the war is getting worse and decleared it as family properties
inside it to avoid raise eyebrows. because of his past political position,so am looking for sincere person from any foreign country to stand as our late dad foriegn partner to recieve this cash and invest the cash for us, since was the wish of our dad that this money be invested in foreign country because endless war in sudan.
His friend(Alhaji jawab kareem and james stewart) that he has in mind that made him going into this bond
with the security company that foriegn partner to recieve the boxes for proper handling of the content inside to ensure bright future for his family just incase of eventuality,is nowhere to be found every attempt in contacting them in your country proved abortive, since i lost the
contact it most have fell from the bag, considering the way we manage to escape the
rebels, it was in the leather bag together with the documents of the deposited boxes. it was
when i was trying to find out if the foreigners giving us first aid can help me locate Alhaji jawab kareem and james stewart that was when i got your contact.
After recieving the boxes you will take money from it then make arrangement for my brother and i to come over to join you and invest part of it. but if you can help get Alhaji Jawab Kareem or james stewart, i will be willing to give 2%($320,000usd)isha allahu, and will give 20%($3,200,000usd) of the total money if you can help yourself to save time. but will not share anything from the other box with you. i wait you reply. i would have send a copy of the bond document along with this mail, but i decided to hold back, just to know which you can help me with.
Regards
Mariam
