Subject: From: Mercy Benson
*From: Mercy Benson

(Old Ivory Cost) *
*Private Email : **mercybensonm1@yahoo.fr* <mercybensonm1@yahoo.fr>* *
*Dearest One, *
*Compliments of the day.How are you, your business and family? I hope all is
well.I decided to communicate with you about my present condition with my
only
junior brother.*
*I am Mercy Benson daughter of the late ENGR. FERICOH BENSON of Free town
Sierra Leone with my brother Peter.I am a young brother from the family of
two because my beloved mother died on the day my younger brother was
delivered and my father refused to re-marry immediately because he is the
only child of his parents and don't want anybody that will maltreat us due
to the love he has for us. *
*My late father Engr.Fericoh Benson was the Managing Director (MD) of BETAX
PLC a Gold and Diamond Mining corporation company. During the time of his
service he was a very devoted and God fearing person. This cause his fellow
staff to hate him because he always refuse to collaborate with them in doing
evil. *
*So one evening october 2004 when I was coming back with my dad from
shopping in his own private car we ran into bandits(hired assasins) who were
totally armed they trace us till we reach home.There they attacked us, my
father pleaded with them to take everything he has and spare his life. They
took everything and also shot him three times on his chest and left with a
word saying( That they were hired to kill him) My father died in cold blood.
We have ran out of that our old residence and living now with our church
servant of God for security and sipiritual upliftment immediately after the
burial of my father.The problem we are facing is that my father's business
wicked staffs is hunting for us to kill so as to eliminate any thing
concerning our father.Our uncle whom we thought that could help us carry on
with life, turned to show us the worst part of life by taking all our
valuable prperties including cash money,landed prperties and my father's car
living us with nothing with an open confession that he will kill us if found
that we still have any other thing remaining mostly money.
The only hope for me and my junior brother to live and continue our eduction
lies on you to help us come in as my late father's foreign business to work
with a bank here where my father made a fixed/suspense deposit of US$12.5M
with my name as the next of kin.When I went to the bank here with the
deposit documents which my late father gave me for confirmation and to see
if they can give us money from it.The bank officer presicly told me that is
true that I'm the next of kin but the deposit clause and the nature of the
deposit doesn't warrant them withdrawing any money from it until is
transferred to a foreign account of his business partner which was exactly
what my father told me before he took his last breath.*
*Please I'm on my knees appealing that you help me out of this problem to
have this fund transferred to your account after which I and my brother will
have our way to your country to spend all our live,continue our education
while you invest part of the money for us in profit yelding venture.*

you with 25% of this whole fund as your benefit.Then you have extra 5% to
replace any expenses,finacially and materially and whatever it will cost you
making this dream a success so as to make all what you receive 30%.Please

you will not disappoint or deny us this our last hope.The most important
thing again is for you to assure me of the maximum confidentiality of this
until the end of this fund transfer to your account because of security
