Subject: PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
FROM: Sita Kone

Dear Beloved,
I am Sita Kone, the daughter of late mr & mrs Jean Kone. I am 20 years of age, and a sickle cell anemia patient. My parent had great difficulty in giving birth to children, and i being a female, happened to be their only issue. They both worked in an oil firm, and were very, very successful.
While returning from a long term vacation back to office, my parent died in a ghastly motor accident. Before thier death, it had been disclosed to me that i as the only child, shall be the beneficiary of their wealth and properties, but due to male chauvenism existing here in my country: ( the believe that a male child is better than the female), my fathers relatives have all decided to forcefully claim my inherited
wealth from me.
All of my parents properties currently within thier reach had been dispossessed from me, and i have been chased out of our home, away from the viccinity, into an orphanage home where i am sending you this mail from. Their major aim now, is towards my late parents fund
with amount $7.5 million U.S Dollars, lying in the bank.
I was before the death of my parent, a medical student in the university, but due to all these mishaps, my schooling had been temporarily terminated.
My late fathers lawyer, has adviced i move the fund out of the bank where it is presently lying, into a foreign account, to avoid false claim by these relatives.
I shall be giving out 30% of this fund, which of course is okay by me, than loosing the entire fund to these greedy relations, and find myself drop out of school, or die of my ailment without any money to treat myself.
With proper identification, such as sending to me your full details:
(1)FULL NAMES,
(2)HOME ADDRESS,
(3)MARIITAL STATUS,
(4)COUNTRY
(5)OCCUPATION,
(6)VALID IDENTITY, e.g, DRIVERS LICENCE OR INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT( this is to back up the informations sent, for me to be truly sure that i know whom i am doing this with).
I shall come over to your location, reward you for your help, and make use of the fund the way my parent wished.
I anticipate your response.
Best Regards,
Sita Kone
