DEAR SIR/MADAM,
FIRST,I MUST SOLICIT YOUR STRICTEST CONFIDENCE IN THIS TRANSACTION, THIS IS BY VITUE OF ITS NATURE AS BEING UTTERLY CONFIDENTIAL AND TOP SECRET.
I AM ELDER. JERRY EKOOT.SANKOH,THE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT, FOREIGN OPRETION DEPARTMENT, FIRST INTERNATIONAL BANK,SIERRA LEONE,IN WEST COAST OF AFRICA.WITH DUE REGARDS, I HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU ON A BUSINESS TRANSACTION THAT WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO BOTH OF US AT THE END OF EXECUTION.
DURING OUR INVESTIGATION AND AUDITING IN THIS BANK,MY DEPARTMENT CAME ACROSS A VERY HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY US$18.7M, BELONGING TO ONE DR.DAVID BATLEY.RUSH (LATE) A DIAMOND INDUSTRIALIST FROM REPUBLIC OF IRELAND WHO WAS THE CHEIF PROPRIETOR OF A DEFUNCT WEST-AFRICA DIAMOND MINING AUTHORITY-SIERRA LEONE,AND WHO HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THOSE THAT SADLY LOST THEIR LIVES AT THE HANDS OF REVOLUTIONARY UNITED FRONT REBELS(RUF) DURING THE SIERRA LEONE REBEL WAR, WHICH BROKE OUT ON 6TH OF JAN.1999,THAT LEFT OVER 750,000 PEOPLE DEAD,LEAVING SO MANY PEOPLE DISPLACED .YOU MAY HAVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS SIERRA LEONE REBEL WAR THAT ENDED IN YEAR 2002, AS IT WAS BEEN PUBLICIZED ON CNN,BBC, AS WELL AS THE LOCAL MEDIA.

I CAN EQUALLY REVEAL THAT HIS SUPPOSED NEXT OF KIN BEING THE ONLY SON DAVID JR. WAS MURDERED IN A COLD BLOOD ALONG WITH HIM LEAVING BEHIND THIS MONEY FOR SO MANY YEARS WITHOUT A CLAIM. IT IS UPON THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT WE THEREFORE DECIDED TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU, AND RELEASE THE MONEY TO YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED, HENCE NOBODY IS COMING FOR IT.AS WE DON'T WANT THE MONEY TO GO BACK INTO GOVERNMENT TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED BILL.HENCE IT IS STATED IN OUR BANKING GUIDELINE THAT ANY UNCLAIMED DEPOSIT THAT HAS LASTED UP TO TEN-YEARS IN OUR ACCOUNT WILL BE RELEGATED TO GOVERNMENT TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED BILL.
I COULD HAVE DONE THIS DEAL ONLY MYSELF AND PARTNERS IN THE BANK NOR EVEN APPOINT A SOMBODY WITHIN THE COUNTRY TO FRONT AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED. BUT WE CANNOT DO THIS, THIS IS BECAUSE A SIERRA LEONE INDIGENE CANNOT BEAR NEXT OF KIN TO HIM, AS IT WILL LOOK SUSPICIOUS, HENCE THE NEED FOR AN OVERSEAS PARTNER.
