DEAR SIR,
My name is Miss Sandra Biros. The daughter of Late General Alexandre Biros
the former Director of military intelligence and special acting GeneralManager
of the Sierra Leone Diamond mining cooperation(SLDMC ). I am contacting
you to seek your good assistance to transfer and invest USDA 20 million
belonging to my late father which is deposited in a bank in Abidjan. This
money is revenues from solid minerals and diamonds sale which were under
my fathers possession before the civil war broke out.
Following the outbrake of the war, almost all government offices, cooperations
and prostates were attacked and vandalized. The SLDMC was loathed and burntdown
to ashes, and diamonds worth millions of dollars was stolen by the rebel
military forces who attacked my fathers office. Many top government officials
and senior army officers were assassinated and my father was a key target
because of his very sensitive military position and appointment in the SLDMC.
Regrettably, my father was captured and murdered along with half brother
in cool blood during a mid-night rebel shoot-out when our official
residence in Freetown was ambushed by Fordey Sankoh the notorious rebel
leader. My mother sustained very sever bullet injuries which resulted to
her untimely and painful death in a private hospital here in Ivory Coast.
Now I am alone in a totally strange country without parents, relatives
or any body to care for me at my tender age. Before my mother died, she
told me that my father deposited some money which he made from diamond sales
and contracts at this bank here in Ivory Coast and that I should pray and
find a trustworthy foreign business partner who would help me to transfer
and invest this money in profitable business venture overseas. She told
me to do this quickly so that I can leave Ivory Coast with my cousin brother-Arthur
who is here in the camp with me and, then settle down abroad. She gave me
all the bank documents to prove the deposit and then told me that my father
used my name as the only daughter to deposit
the money in the bank.She told me that this is the reason why we came to
Ivory Coast. My mother died afterwords. May her spirit rest in perfect peace.I
have gone to the bank to make inquires about this money and I spoke with
the director of International remittance who assured me that the everything
is OK and promised to help me transfer this money to my foreign partners
bank account as soon as I provide my partners foreign bank account for them.
However, the director is very concerned because of my age, I am 19 years
and as such promised
to help me and he would like to speak with my partner to ensure that this
money is invested wisely in only profitable business because of his personal
interest and sympathy for me. If you are will to assist me, please let me
know immediately and provide me with your following.
Your full names and address, tel/ fax/ mobile Please note that I can only
offer you 25% of the total money as compensation for your noble assistance
in accordance with my mothers advise. I am interested in any profitable
commercial venture which you consider very good in your country and you
would also get a school for me and my little brother so that I can finish
my college education.
I am hoping to hear your urgent response so that I can stop look for another
foreign partner.
Thank you and may God blss you and your dear family.
Ms. Sandra Biros
