Subject: Dear respectful one
Dear respectful one, .
With due respect and humility I write you this letter which I believe you
would be of great assistance to me and my children.
I am Mrs rodiath richard, the wife of the late Mr richard moses of blessed
memory. Prior to my husband assassination by the rebel forces loyal to
Corporal Foday Sankoh of the revolutionary United Front (RUF), he was the
Director General National Gold and Rubber Plantation Mining Corporation of
Sierra-Leone.
Few month before my husband was assassinated, he instructed me and my
children (George and Henry) to move out of Sierra-Leone and also to go in
his underground strong room where the documents of money he has deposited in
a finance company in Abidjan Cote d Ivoire in one trunk box as family
valuables and treasures with the name of my first son Mr George as the
beneficiary.The amont is US$10.000.000 ( Ten Million united states
dollars).We managed to escape to Abidjan the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire
through the help of my husband s friend who is a trawler driver. As our
travelling document was seized.
I want you for a trust worthy and god fearing person who will handle this
money for rapid profit for the future of my two fatherless children.
For your information, the finance company did not know the real content of
the box and we do not wish them to know until the money is transferred to
your account.As it was deposited as family valuables and treasures.
Mean while, I want to leave Cote d Ivoire entirely for investment of this
money in your country and mostly for the future of my children. I want you
to please assist us to claim the box from the finance company and to deposit
the money in your account as to order the bank to transfer the money to your
account in your country. As our foreign partner.
We have it in mind to reward you with a certain percentage for your
assistance. As soon as we hear from you. Do not hesitate to write me on
this mail immediately you receive this letter to enable us proceed in
earnest towards retrieving the box and transferring of the money into your
account.
Finally please ensure that no one else knows about this money as it is only
myself and my first son Mr George as the beneficiary,yourself knows about
this money. May god bless you as you assist me.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs_rodiath richard
