Attn :dearest one,
Based on the information I gathered about you from a very reliable
source, We are very happy to send this message to you.
I hope you will consider and give it urgent and favourable reply. My
name is Dominic Fae I am 21years,a citizen of Sierra - Leone ,Son and Daughter of late Dr.Christopher Fae
who before his death was the person managing the Sierra - Leone gold
and diamond corporation( SGDC ).
I hope you are aware of the war which has ravaged my country for the
past years now . It was in one of this attacks by the rebels that led to
the death of my Father and my Mother including Two of my Brothers, now
am left with only my younger sister Agate.
We was terrified of the situation and because of this I escaped with my
younger Sister Agate from Sierra - Leone to Ivory Coast into a
refugee camp but brought along with all vital documents which our late
father used in depositing the sum of Us $11.5 Million United State Dollars
with a prime SECURITY COMPANY here in Ivory Coast.
For now, We have every information and document needed for the
Collection of the deposit with the SECURITY COMPANY and I want you to Act as the
beneficiary of the deposit for easy and smooth collection to your account abroad
for investment purposes.
Since our breadwinner is no more and this is the only hope for life to us.
Your positive response will give me the greatest joy and relief. Our aim
of contacting you is to seek for your able assistance as a front in
transferring this fund abroad into an account, then but for you to understand me very well,
When my late father was depositing this money he put it in side trunk box and he told them that the box contains his family valuables. As a business developer, You can help us to invest wisely in areas you deem lucrative and
finally obtain a residential permit for us to stay comfortable in your
country of abroad.
Presently we cannot go back to Sierra- Leone because of the situation
there and you know that IVORY COAST where we are now is politically
uncomfortable;
we therefore wish you could help us get out of here before it become
worse.
May God Bless you for your kind assistance we have agreed to offer
you 15% of the total sum.
