Subject: MESSAGE FROM PRINCE WALTER TARAWALLY


FROM: PRINCE WALTER TARAWALLY

Dearest Friend,

I am PRINCE WALTER TARAWALLY, the first son of Late CHIEF K.S.TARAWALLY,
the KING of MENDE VILLAGE chief controller EWAHO VILLAGE DIAMOND AND GOLD
LAND OWNER OF ODUWA FARMES who was recently murdered by the Forces Loyal
to Corporal Foday Sankoh, due to his support to the incumbent elected President
Tejan Kabbah to remain in the office as reported on the cable Network News
(CNN) and by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).


Few days before my father was Assassinated, he confided in me and ordered
me to go to his underground safe and moved out immediately the Deposit Agreements
and Cash Receipt he made with a Security Diplomatic Deposit House in Europe
where he Deposited one Trunk Box which contains Cash Sum of US$30,000,000
(Thirty Million United States Dollars). I successfully smuggled out of the
country with the help of some rebels loyal to my father and I am highly
in contact with the Security Deposit House in Europe in regards to this
deposit.

Unknown to the Security House my Father declared the contents of the trunk
box as HOSPITAL EQUIPMENTS and not as money, belonging to his foreign business
Partner that the keys are with him in order to prevent them from knowing
the real content of the box.

I am now seeking for your direct Assistance to front you as the owner of
the consignment and lift the fund out of the Security Deposit House in Europe
to your base for onward profitable investment which necessitated my contacting
you. And your reward for this noble assistance is under negotiable.

Further detail will be made known to you on confirmation of your interest
to assist me towards this project you will also confirm to me that know
Third party should hear about this transaction. I know due to the level
of unexpected things going on in the world of today, you may not like to
respond to my message, but please do have understanding that I have contacted
you in good faith and all information?s about the lifting of this fund will
be giving to you as soon as I hear from you.

Contact me through this email account for more clarifications and to enable
me give you more information on how we go about the successful conclusion
of this transaction.

Expecting your immediate response.
Yours sincerely.
PRINCE WALTER TARAWALLY
