Dear,
With due respect and humility I write you this letter which I believe would be of great assistance to me and my younger sister.We are the only children left to late Dr BOGA YASMINE.Jr of blessed memory. Prior to our father assassination by the rebel forces loyal to Corporal Foday Sankoh of the revolutionary United Front (RUF), he was the Director General National Gold and Diamond Mining Corporation of Sierra-Leone.
Few years before our father was assassinated, he instructed our mother mariam 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 and security company in Abidjan Cote d Ivoire in one trunk box as family valuables and treasures. The content of the box is USD$32.000.000 M (THIRTY TWO MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS) with my name as the beneficiary.
We managed to escape to Abidjan the capital of Republic of Cote d' Ivoire through the help of our father's friend who is a trawler. As our travelling document was seized.
I am now looking for a trustworthy and God fearing person who will handle this money for rapid profit for the future of me and sister because we just lost our mother on brief illness a week ago here in abidjan on waiting for these fund to due for transfer into any account that is safe outside africa. I am pleding with you in the name of whom ever you woship as your GOD to kindly co-operate with me, for the necessary step we are to take for this fund to be transfered in to your account.
Meanwhile, we want to leave Cote d Ivoire entirely for investment of this money in your country and mostly for the future of me and my sister. I want you to please assist us to transfer this fund into 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. To enable us proceed in earnest towards transferring of this money into your account.
Finally please ensure that no one else knows about this money as it is only me and my sister and yourself, who knows about this money. May God bless you and your family.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Ayo yasmine(beneficiary)son.
