Greetings to you,

From: MRS. AGNES TAYLOR-LEWIS

Greetings to you,

With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings,
and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However
strange or surprising this contact might seem to you
as we have not met personally or had any dealings in
the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration
of its importance and the immense benefit it will be
to you.
After careful consideration with my children, we
resolved to contact you for your most needed
assistance in this manner. I duly apologize
for infringing on your privacy, if this contact is not
acceptable to you, as I make this proposal to you as a
person of integrity.
First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly
to you. My name is Mrs. AGNES TAYLOR-LEWIS mother of
five and the Minister of Health and Sanitation 
of The Republic of Sierra Leone for a year and a half running you can view my 
profile on my countries web site;http://www.statehouse-sl.org/at-lewis.html
I will now give you a general overview of the
situation. From 1989 to 1991,I Agnes worked as Financial Comptroller cum 
Secretary to the Board of Directors of the National Industrial Development and 
Finance Organisation Limited (NIDFO) a joint project of UNDP, UNIDO and the 
Government of Sierra Lone,My managerial functions included the control of all 
financial matters, the mobilisation of resources for the company and serving in 
the project appraisal committee that reviews and approves loans to small-scale 
entrepreneurs
in 1996, with my influence, my husband Mr. thomas Taylor lewis a very 
successful businessman was awarded several contracts in my country and had 
direct dealings with foreign investors in this field. Due to my political 
status,and position I was not involved in my husband's business but was the 
financier of the projects through funds from the bank the business was very 
successful. My beloved husband
died whilst on an official trip to
Trinidad and Tobago in February 2001 had a plane crash and died.
about some months after my husband died, I was contacted as next of kin
by a private security firm in Europe to come forth
with the Certificate of Deposit and claim a safety
deposit my husband has in their Vault in his name. At
that time, my children and I did not have an idea
where the Certificate might be. We then instructed the
security firm to continue holding the safety deposit
until further instructions from me. Whilst preparing
for the second remembrance of my beloved husband, I
was going through his library collection and to my
astonishment I discovered a Certificate of Deposit for the
safety deposit with this private security firm, and other
documents relating to the safety deposit in a book. The
safety deposit which is a trunk, is stocked with hard currency (US Dollars) 
totalling $18,500,000 which was generated from cash payments from his business 
associates in the diamond trade from Antwerp, Belgium.
Though I knew my late husband was in the diamond
business, I did not have the knowledge that he moved
funds in cash. This has came as a shock to me and my
children, and we have decided to have this fund
invested immediately in commercial and residential
properties abroad as well as profitable ventures, as
any member of my family cannot hold such a huge
amount in our name due to my political status, hence
we sincerely propose to you to render us your most
needed assistance in this regard.cause we dont want the government to probe us.
If you agree to render us your assistance, your role
in this project will be to act on my behalf as a
trustee to receive the safety deposit containing the
funds from the Security firm. Though I believe this
transaction should be based on mutuality, my family's
interest will be protected by a family associate, who
is a lawyer(attorney) attached to the sierra leone Embassy
in the country where the security firm is located. He is now
aware of the safety deposit, and I have informed him that I am locating one of 
my husband's business associates (you) to handle the
funds and invest on our behalf, as he might be opposed
to our decision if he found out that I barely know you.
For your reliable assistance, we are offering you 15
%($2,775,000) of the funds. I thank you in advance as
we anticipate your assistance in enabling us achieve this goal.
On hearing from you, I will forward your contact to the gentleman
lawyer who will be representing us, As you may understand,
due to my sensitive position in the present government,
it is not safe to communicate with me via phone or fax.
This is why I have communicated with you with my
private email address, and I like us to keep this way,
for the safety of this transaction.
Please contact me on my private email address;

address@hidden

whether or not you are interested in assisting us.
This will enable us make alternative plans, in the
event of non-interest on your part.

With warm regards,
MRS. AGNES TAYLOR-LEWIS
