GOOD DAY DEAR My name is Angus William from Sierra Leonian. I am 19 years old and a student.Please I would like you to assist me as urgent as you can, before they kill me.My father is a wealthy cocoa merchant in this country Cote D'Ivoire. Trouble began when my father's associates began suspecting that my father is becoming much rich above them even in their country as a foreigner.This envy and haterade deepens between Oct-Sept,2005 when they discovered a very large some of money my father deposited with a Bank here in ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE (FORMALLY IVORY COAST in West Africa.As a result of this discovery and the envy on the money he was poisioned by his associates. At his hospital bed,he revealed to me the reasons of his sickness and directed me where to get the documents of the said deposit which he made on my name as the next of kin, being the only child.He advised me that in case he die,that I should not stay in this country Cote D'Ivoireor going back to Sierre Leone because his associates will equally kill me.My father loved me so much as the only child because my maother died the same day she gave birth to me because of excess bleeding.So I did not even know my mother.May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace.Amen. He also instructed that if he dies,(based on the deposit agreement & nature of deposit) I should look for a foreign partner who will help me to transfer the money out of this place (Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire), to his/her account and the person will help me to invest the money in his/her country. Because of this, I had to contact you bearing in mind that you will be human enough to protect my life.
My father finally died on the 5th of june,2004 and since then, I was out of school and went into hiding because of my father's associates. All the relevant documents of the $5.500,000.(Five Million,Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) that was deposited in a Commercial Bank here by my late father, are with me now. I will give you 25% of the total money and extra 5% for the replacement of all financial expenses you will make on the process of this transfer to your account.Making it total of 30% if you can help me transferring it into your Account, for onward investment in your country. I have already confirmed this fund with the bank here and they ask me to get these detials of yours and present them officially for for the transfer processing: The requirement were as follows:
