Attn: Dear,

I am Michael Takar, the only son of late former Director of finance, Chief
Vincent S.Takar, of Sierra-Leone diamond and mining corporation. My late
father diverted this money meant for purchase of ammunition, for my country,
during the peak of disastrous civil war in my country, now he has deposited
the money with one of the international BANK here in Abidjan, where I am
residing under political Assylum with my younger sister Flore Takar, who
is 17 years old.

Now the war in my country is over with the help of ECOMOG soldiers, the
present government of Sierra Leone has revoked the passport of all officers
who served under the former regime and now ask countries to expel such person
at the same time freeze their account and confiscate their asset, it is
on this note that I am contacting you, all I needed from you is to furnish
me with your bank particulars.

1) Account name (2) Account number (3) Bank address, telephone and fax number
(4) your private telephone /fax numbers.

For you to assist me transfer this money in your private bank account, the
said amount is Seventeen Million two hundred thuosand Dollars S$17.2000.000.00
Million). I am compensating you with 18% of the total money amount, now
all my hope is banked on you and I really wants to invest this money in
your country, were their is stability of Government, political and economic
welfare.

Honestly I want you to believe that this transaction is real and never a
joke. My late father Chief Vincent S.Takar, gave me the deposit slip issued
to him by the BANK on the date of deposit, for you to be clarify because,
I do not expose my self to anybody I see, I believe that you are able to
keep this transaction secret for me because this money is the hope of my
life, it is important.

Please write me immediately after you must have gone through my message
feel free and make it urgent that is the reason why I offered you 18 % of
the total amount, and in case of any other necessary expences you might
incure, I am resolving to give you an additional 2% during the disbursement
of this fund in your country after the fund is transferred into your bank
account.

N.B Try and negotiate for me some profitable investment opportunities which
is risky free which I can invest with this money when it is transferred
to your account, personally I am interested in estate management and hotel
business, please promise me and my younger sister that you will be our guardian
considering our situation and not to betray us.

Note that my late father used me the only son as the beneficiary / next
of kin on the day of deposit and also told me I need the assistance of a
foreigner with a legitimate bank Account abroad who will stand as co-beneficiary
and partner abroad to ensure a successful and hitch -free transfer of the
fund abroad.

Thanks and God bless.

Yours truly.
Michael Takar & Flore (sister),
