Dear Friend,
Before reading my proposal, please note that what we are going into is very serious and its of genuine intention. This transaction is about cash, and it's in the amount
of Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD$10 500.000.00). I Iimplore you to excuse me of any embarrassment this letter might cause you, as
we have not met before.
My name is Sandra TANKO from Sierra Leone. Before l didn't have any problem, until l lost my father two years ago. He was a big time diamond dealer, his business was flourishing until the United Nation placed embargo on diamonds from West Africa.
When the embargo was enforced, my father started having problems with bank transactions in respect of making deposits and receiving payments for diamonds
purchased by his customers. Because of the problem he started storing cash in the
house.
One morning, he left as usual with his men to the diamond mining area of Sierra Leone. While there,they were attacked by rebels; during the attack, my father was shot. He did not die, he was rushed to the hospital where the bullets were removed. My dad returned home after a few days feeling well and okay.
But two months later, my father became sick. His situation deteriorated so much that he couldn't carry on with his work anymore. One day,he told me to prepare myself that we have to travel to Europe, that he has to deposit the money (USD$10.500.000.00) in a Security Company in Europe for safe keeping. We then arranged for a quick travel.
The money was arranged in a trunk box and shipped to Europe by diplomatic means.
At the Security Company in Europe, my father deposited the trunk box as a bonded shipment and he declared it as family treasures. My father made me the beneficiary
of the deposit.
Not too long we returned from Europe, my father died. After the burial rights, my late father's brothers came to the house accusing my mother of masterminding my father's death in order to inherit his wealth.With this accusation, they drove my mother I and my brother away from the house. They did not allow us take anything out of the house. We then went to my mother's family house to live there.
My mother went through every day in sorrow, little did we know that she could take her own life. We returned to the house one day to meet her on the
ground dead; she committed suicide. It was really painful. After this period, things became very difficult for us, and with the on going war, we had to travel to Rep. of TOGO as refugees. We have since been in TOGO on refugee status.
I am writing you to please see how possible it is for you to assist claim the box from the security company in Europe. We really have to get out of this financial crises. I and my brother needs the money to live a better life. If you would help us, please contact us send me a mail.I will send you every prove of this deposit when I hear from you.
Thank you and God bless.
Miss Sandra TANKO.
