ATTN: PRESIDENT/THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

DEAR SIR, 
Following the sudden death of my husband, I have been thrown into a state
of utter Confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present Civilian
administration; I have been subjected to physical and psychological
torture by the security Agents in the country. My son is still under
detention Arraigned before the federal high court in Sierra Leon for
Offence he did not commit. 

As a widow that is so Traumatized, I have lost confidence with anybody
within my country and many out rightly have blackmailed us during my
course for a reputable friend and partner either by saying that my mail is
a scam but let me tell you that I am real and not faking and all that is
just propaganda to further frustrate my efforts no thanks to dubious
Nigerians that has used that as an opportunity to defraud people I came
across your contact in my period of desperation to seek for any available
person who even without knowing me might consider giving me an attention
to express myself. 

I therefore wish to solicit for your assistance in this most urgent
situation of mine that will be of benefit to you too. I am Mrs. Maria
Malatu, the wife of the late former chairman of Sierra Leon National Gold
Mining Corporation, who was assassinated in march1999 in the height of one
of the conflicts between rebels and the then government forces to
overthrow the resin staled democratic president of Alhaji Tejan Kamma
which resulted into a tribal war which forced most citizens to run out of
the country to neighboring countries as refugees. As I was getting our
remaining family belongings together in preparation to flee the country
following my husbands death and the continuous threat on my son and my
life for the past two years, by the rebel soldiers of Mr. Fodeh Sankoh in
order to claim my husband's assets which I have no full control over, I
discovered the keys to my husband's valuable vault. Upon the opening of
this vault I discovered two metallic boxes that my husband kept, but never
told me about, because of the constant protection and instruction given
the boxes. My son and I opened these boxes and discovered their contents
to be the sum of US$25,500,000.00 cash (Twenty Five Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) as stated in the covering note inside the
boxes. Following this discovery, I and my son Prince John Malantu entered
an arrangement with a close friend of my husband a Ghanaian who works in
the embassy who helped and smuggled us and the boxes to Cotonou republic
of Benin. He introduced us to this reputable finance and security firm
"Global Security and Finance Company Limited" where we deposited the
boxes. I however made them to understand that the contents are valuable
African artworks, which they noted, that we would be coming soon to claim
them for export. At the moment, I have decided with my son to seek refuge
in Cotonou, with the help of my father's friend who also helped us in
acquiring a satellite phone and fax for this transaction. Hence I am
trying to solicit for a trust-worthy partner. Now we are ready to claim
the deposit but the security company will require the presence of the
beneficiary or for us to come up with the name of the owner to enable them
make out the original certificate of deposit in his name. In view of this,
I am soliciting for your direct assistance to help us present yourself as
the beneficiary of the deposit and help us put in for claim and also guide
us for viable investment to sustain my son's future. We have agreed that a
substantial percentage will be offered to you (25%) on the conclusion of
this. You will also be expected to play a very vital role in the
procurement and the entire bearing in mind that you might incur some
personal expenses like your travel ticket and sundries but do bear in mind
that this transaction is risk free and full refund would be given to you
with your percentage, the money is legitimate money fully owned by my
husband again you would also introduce us on any business venture. I am
very certain that the movement of these assets away from the shores of
West Africa will be successful. Everything has been working out
miraculously for us. And I do not foresee any changes in our faith. If you
are interested to assist us in good faith, do please get back to us
urgently on the above E-mail addresses. And fax.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation. 

Yours faithfully, 
Mrs. Maria Malatu
