ACCOUNTING UNIT, FOREIGN OPRETION DEPARTMENT, FIRST INTERNATIONAL BANK,
FREETOWN SIERRA LEONE,IN WEST COAST OF AFRICA.WITH DUE REGARDS, I HAVE
DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU ON A BUSINESS TRANSACTION THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO
BOTH OF US AT THE END OF THE EXECUTION.
DURING OUR INVESTIGATION AND AUDITING IN THIS BANK,MY DEPARTMENT CAME ACROSS
A VERY HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY *US$30M*,(*THIRTY MILLION UNITED* *STATES
DOLLARS*) BELONGING TO AN *AMERICAN DIAMOND INVESTOR,MR. BRIAN MCFADDEN.(**

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.

FROM HIS FAMILY NOR RELATION,BEFORE MY DISCOVERY TO THIS DEVELOPMENT.
ALTHOUGH I KEPT THIS SECRET WITHIN MYSELF AND PARTNERS IN THE BANK, TO
ENABLE THE WHOLE PLANS BE PROFITABLE,AND SUCCESSFUL DURING THE TIME OF
EXECUTION.
I CAN EQUALLY REVEAL THAT HIS SUPPOSED NEXT OF KIN BEING THE SON WAS
MURDERED ALONG WITH HIM LEAVING BEHIND THIS MONEY IN OUR DORMANT
VAULT-ACCOUNT FOR SO MANY YEARS WITH NOBODY TO CLAIM IT. IT IS UPON
THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT WE THEREFORE DECIDED TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU, AND

AS UNCLAIMED BILL.HENCE IT IS STATED IN OUR BANKING GUIDELINES THAT ANY

VAULT-ACCOUNT WILL BE PAID INTO GOVERNMENT TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED BILL.
I COULD HAVE DONE THIS DEAL ONLY MYSELF AND PARTNERS IN THE BANK WITHOUT
SEEKING FOR A FOREIGN PARTNER .BUT WE CANNOT ,THIS IS BECAUSE A SIERRA LEONE
INDIGENE CANNOT BEAR HIM NEXT OF KIN AS IT WILL LOOK SUSPICIOUS ,HENCE THE
NEED FOR AN OVERSEAS PARTNER.

WEBSITE(WWW.CRYFREETOWN.ORG <http://www.cryfreetown.org/>) BY PASTING IT ON

DISMEMBERMENT.

MANDATED AS A MATTER OF TRUST BY MY COLLEAGUES HERE IN THE BANK TO LOOK FOR
A RELIABLE AND TRUSTED OVERSEAS PARTNER WHO CAN STAND AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO
THE DECEASED, TO ENABLE US TRANSFER THE MONEY INTO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT,HENCE
NO ONE COULD STAND A CLAIM TO THE SUM,UP TO THIS MOMENT SINCE AFTER HIS
DEATH,OF WHICH THE PERSON WILL ACT IN A WAY THAT THE DECEASED IS THE
COUSIN,AS TO STAKE A STRONG CLAIM TO THE SUM.
