I hope this mail meets you in good health and spirit. I am
Jerry Lemue, a Sierra-Leonian. Presently, I live as a refugee in
Abidjan, Ivory Coast, West Africa. I am a victim of war and the son of
late Dr lemue , the assassinated former Director of Sierra Leone Gold and
Diamond mining corporation. I have the confidence and trust to contact
you based on my faith in God and the reliability of the source of your
contact.My father was killed with other Government officials
during official hours when the rebel troops stormed and raided the mining
corporation office at the heat of the crises in Sierra Leone A few
weeks later, the rebels also invade our residential building in which my
mother and two of my junior sisters including two of our security guards were
killed in the compound while I was out for a special research
programme. I had a singular shock and trauma, which compelled me to flee from
the country to Ivory Coast with the help of an army colonel who was a
close friend of my late father.
My educational career was jeopardized as a result of the sudden death of
my parents. I am contacting you now because of the present difficulty
I am facing.Unfortunately, my fathers two accounts in West
Africa have recently been frozen. However, this did not affect the (Twelve Miliion
two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD$12.200,000), which he
deposited in a security company in Abidjan Ivory Coast. For now I am having every
information and document needed for the clearance of the money in the security company
here in Abidjan and I want you to act as the beneficiary of the fund for easy and
smooth transfer of the fund to your bank account abroad. He also said that
the security company does not know the content of the safe Box.He
decleared it as family treasure and used my name to Deposit the money
as his first son for next of kin.I promise to give you 15% of the total amount for your
assistance as soon as this transfer is concluded. You will invite me to your
country where you can introduce me into a very profitable business in which I can
invest part of the money. I am making this request to you with tears in
my eyes and I feel that God Almighty will touch you with His spirit to
listen to my cry for help and answer me without delay since my
breadwinner is no more and this is my only hope in life.
Your positive response will give me the greatest joy and relief Furthermore you can
indicate your option towards assisting me as i believe that this transaction would
be concluded within seven ( 7 ) days you signify interest to assist me.
Anticipating to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
