ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE
Dear Sir,
With due respect and humility I write you this proposal which I believe would be of great interest to you. I am MRS IRIS MORE, a Sierra Leone National and the wife of Late Dr JACK MORE of the blessed memory. Prior to my husband assassination by the rebel
forces loyal to CORPORAL FODAY SANKOH , he was the Director General National Gold and Diamond Mining Corporation of Sierra Leone. Two days before my husband was assassinated he confinded in me that he deposited the sum of us$15 million dollars with a ba
nk here in Abidjan,Coted`Ivoire.
He instructed me and my sons to move out of Sierra Leone immediately with the documents which was issued to him by the bank during the period of deposit.Before the powerful Economic Community of West African States (ECOMOG) forces intervened which eventu
ally resulted into a brutal civil war. I and my son Johnson managed to escape to Abidjan, the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire through the help of my husband's friend who is a trawler. We came into Abidjan with some vital documents covering the deposit in the b
ank.
He deposited this money and told them that this fund belongs to his foreign partner/beneficiary who will come forward to submitt his /her banking details for transfer.
On our arrival here in Abidjan,I went to the bank and confirmed the deposit by myself,
Meanwhile, I want to leave Cote d'Ivoire entirely with this money for investment in your country because of the stable political situation and mostly for the future of my son. Right now, I want you to assist me by send to me your banking details to enabl
e me submitt it to the bank as my late husband's foreign partner/beneficiary of the fund and for you to serve as the guardian of this fund with whom I can plan the best way to move out this fund for investment purposes which is my motive for contacting y
ou.
Moreover, you are requested to assist in the following areas: That you will be required to negotiate on how best to transfer this fund without attracting much taxation. That you will assist in providing me and my family a permanent residence /Resident pe
rmit in your country after this money has been transferred to your country. That you will be responsible in advising us to invest this fund a viable venture in your country.
We have it in mind to reward you handsomely for your assistance. We are prepared to give you 15% of the total sum.
Please ensure that no one else know about this money as it is only myself, my son, yourself who know about this money.
May God bless you as you assist us.
Yours sincerely,
MRS IRIS MORE
