Subject: IN GOOD FAITH

Dear Respected one,

I know this mail may come to you as a surprise,especially since we do not
know each other in person. To briefly introduce myself, my name is Mr.Frank
Chesson, the only son of late Chief Robert Doe Chesson, from Banga district,Liberia.

I am writting you this letter of help for the transfer of $3,500.000.00
my late father deposited with an apex bank here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire.

SOURCE OF THE MONEY : My late father, late Chief Robert Doe Chesson, a native
of Banga district in the Southern Province of Liberia,was the Director General
of Liberia Mining Corporation (L.M.C.)Monrovia. According to my father,
this money was the income accrued from mining corporation's over draft and
minor sales before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces loyal
to Sekou Damate and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace-keeping operation
that are destroying my country, following the forceful removal from power
of the President Charles Taylor who is now in exile by the rebels.

My father had already made arrangement for his family,my mother and myself
to be evacuated to Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire with our personal effects and
the box containing our valued items and documents of the deposit.

My father deposited the money on safe custody until after the war when he
will join us. As the war is persisting in my country, and following the
indiscriminate looting of public and Government properties by the rebel
forces, the Liberia Mining corporation was one of the targets looted and
destroyed.

My father including other top Government functionaries were attacked and
killed by the rebels in March 2003 because of his relationship with the
Government of President Charles Taylor.

As a result of my father's death, and with the news of my uncle's involvement
in air crash in June, dashed our hope of survival. The untimely deaths caused
my mother's heart failure and other related complications of which she later
died in the hospital after we must have spent a lot of money on her. Now,
i am alone in this strange country suffering without any care or help without
any relation and now i am an orphan and refugee in a strange land.

My only hope now is in the money my father deposited in the bank.To this
effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways:

(1) To assist me claim this fund from the BANK as co-beneficiary.

(2)To transfer this money in your name to your country.

(3) To make a good arrangement for a joint business investment on my behalf
in your country and you, the care taker.

(4) To secure a good university for me in your country to further my medical
education. And to make arrangement for me to travel to your country after
you have transferred this fund into your acount.

The whole documents issued after deposit is in my custody and will be forwarded
to you on demand. For your assistance, I beg to concede 15 % of this money
to you for your effort and kind assistance.

If you agree to these or have any question after you would have received
this mail please let me know via this E-mail address or call me on:0022507830987.

Best regards,

Mr Frank Chesson.
