Dearest one,
Compliment of the day.I'm Mrs.Kamarita Benson from Sierra-Leone. I picked
interest on you after glancing through your short profile at my late
husband's int'l business directory.I deemed it necessary to disclose this
important issue I believe one thing in me that God will always make a way
for the needy and helpless one. I would like you to do me this favor,save my
soul before I die. I promise to give you the best of my love,sincerity,
respect,trust,promise and confidential keeping etc to your maximum
satisfaction if you can come to my aid with every urgency and sincerity.
I am Mrs.Kamarita Benson with my only son Peter from Sierra Leone. I lost my
husband a couple of years ago.My husband was a serving director of the
Agro-exporting board until his death.He was assassinated by the rebels
during the political uprising here just the same thing that is going on in
this country. Before his death he told me of a fund deposit of
US$15.5M(Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) he
made in a private bank here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire with my name as the
next of kin.He made this deposit for the purchase of cocoa processing
machine and development of a factory before his untimely death.
Since I lost my husband, I've contacted the bank for the release of the
money, the Bank Manger precisely told me that my late husband made the
deposit in a suspense fixed account with a clause attached to it for onward
transfer into a foreign account,that I'll not have access to the money now
until it's transferred first. On this note, I contacted you to please come
in as my late husband's foreign business
partner to enable the bank transfer the money in your foreign account.The
bank has given me requirements I should forward to them:
1. Your full name, (2) office or house full address(3)
Your tel,cel phone and fax numbers.(4) Your bank
account details with the full address where the fund
will be transfered to.(5) Your occupation & position.
This is a matter of trust, now I confide in you since I don't know anybody
abroad, therefore, please promise me that you'll not sit on this money when
it gets into your account. Also, please as I contacted you for this purpose,
let's restrict the information from third-party to avoid exposing ourselves
to wicked people.If you agree on this, I'll give you 25% of the total share
when transferred, then extra 5% will be added to you if you make any
expenses on the cause of the transfer hence I don't have any money may be to
settle any expenses.
Waiting to hearing from you, please once I hear from you ppositively,I'll
send you death certificate of my late husband and the fund deposit
documents.You please write me back for more explanations immediately.
Wishing you a lovely day.
Thanks,
Kamarita Benson
