Subject: Dearest,

Dearest,

I am well confident of your capability of executing this business for the
mutual benefit of both families, believing that you will not expose or betray
the trust and confident I am about to repose on you. I am contacting you
with the greatest delight and personal respect.

I am PRINCE Musa Jacob, the first son of Late CHIEF M.J. KAMARA, the KING
of MENDE VILLAGE chief controller EWAHO VILLAGE DIAMOND AND GOLD and 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 with the Deposit
Agreements and Cash Receipt he made with a Security Deposit House in Abidjan
where he Deposited one Trunk Box which contains Cash Sum of US$45,000,000
(Fourty Five Million United States Dollars) and 100 kilos of 22 karat alluvial
gold dust. I successfully smuggled out of the country to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire
with the help of some army loyal to My father and have gone to
the Security House with the Deposit Documents to confirm the Deposit myself.

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 this country 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 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.

Expecting your immediate response.

Yours sincerely.

PRINCE Musa Jacob.
