FROM JOHN AND LINDA BROWN.
Avenu 12 Reu 47 ABIDJAN
DANANI REFUGEE CAMP, ABIDJAN
REPUBLIC OF COTE-D'IVOIRE
Dear
My name is JOHN BROWN and my sister's name is LINDA we are the children
of Late General BENSON BROWN the former Director of military inteligence
and special acting General Manager of the Sieria Leone
Diamond mining coperatio( SLDMC ). I am contacting you to seek your good
assistance to transfer and invest USD 16 million belonging to my late father
which is deposited in a bank in Abidjan.
This money is revenues from solid minirals and dimonds sale which were
under my fathers possession before the civil war broke out. Following the
break out of the war, almost all government offices coperations and parastatals
were attacked and vandalized. The SLDMC was loothed and
burnt down 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 assasinated and my father was a key target because of his very sensitive
military possition and appointment in the SLDMC.Regreatably 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 armbushed by
Fordey Sanko the notorious rebel leader. My mother sustainded very sever
bullet injuries which resulted to her untimely and painful death in a private
hospital here in Ivory Coast.
Now we are alone in a totally strange country without parents, relatives
or any body to care for us at our tender ages. Before our mother died, she
told us that our father deposited some money which he
made from diamond sales and contracts at this bank here in Ivory Coast and
that we should pray and find a trust worthy foreign business partner who
would help us to transfer and invest this money in
profitable business venture overseas. She told us to do this quickly so
that we can leave Ivory Coast with our cousin brother-Arthur who is here
in the camp with us and, then settle down abroad.
She gave us the bank document to prove the deposit and then told us that
my father used my name as the only son to deposit the money in the bank.
She told us that this is the reason why we came to Ivory Coast. My mother
died after wards. May her spirit rest in perfect peace. I have gone to the
bank to make inquires about this money and I spoke with the Manager of International
remittance who assured me that everything is intact and promised to help
me to transfer this money to my foreign partners bank account as soon as
I provide my partners foreign bank account for them. However, the manager
is very concerned because of my age.
I am 22 years and as such advised that I should look for a matured person
that will represent me at the bank. If you are willing to assist us, please
let us know immediately so that you will arrange the transfer of
the money to your account with the bank.Please note that I can only offer
you 25% of the total money as compensation for your noble assistance in
accodiance 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, my little
sister and cousin so that we can finish our college education.Please there
is urgent need for the money to be transferred to your account because of
the political crises they are having in Cote d'Ivoire now.
I am hoping to hear your urgent response so that I can not look for otherforeign
partner.
Thank you and may God bless you and your dear family.
Yours sincerely
JOHN/LINDA BROWN
