Subject: I WISH WE CAN DO IT
Dear Sir/Madam
I wish to solicit your help in securing my funds in your country,
My name is Billy Biros and my kid sister is Maria Biros, We are the
children of Late General Alexander Biros, the former director of military
intelligence and special acting General Manager of the SIERRA LEONE DIAMOND AND
MINING COOPERATION (SLMDC).
Regrettably, our father was captured and murdered along with his
half brother in cold blood during a midnight rebel shoot out, when our
official residence in Freetown, Sierra Leone was invaded by Foday Sankoh,the
notorious rebel leader. Our mother sustained very severe bullet
injuries which resulted to her untimely and painful death in a private hospital
here in London U.K.
Now we are alone in a total strange country without parents,
relatives or any body who can care for us at this tender age. Before our mother
died, she informed us that our late father deposited some money which he made
from diamond sales and contracts in a bank here in Sierra Leone, Now we
looking for a trustworthy foreign business partner who would help us to secure
and invest this money in a profitable business ventures overseas.
We are presently in London U.K. Before the untimely death of my
Mother,she gave us all the bank documents to prove the deposit in the bank, I
have enquire from the bank about this money and I spoke with the director of
International remittance UNION TRUST BANK LTD OF SIERRA LEONE, who has
help in moving the fund to a financial clearing house in Canada .
I have also discussed with the financial house in Canada, Due
to our age and statue we can not operate an account to keep such fund hence we
are contacting you to seek your good assistance to transfer and invest the
money. We got your contact from UK reputable chambers of commerce. The
situation is hard on us because of our ages, I am 21 years and my
younger sister is 17years old.
Please note that we can only offer you 25% compensation of the
total money for your noble assistance. The total money is $18.5Million
US Dollars. I am interested in any profitable commercial ventures which
you consider very good in your country and you would also assist us look
for a school hence me and my younger sister would love to further our
education.
We are hoping to hear from you urgently this will enable us
put a stop on the search for another foreign partner.
Thanks and God bless.
Yours sincerely,
Billy. And Maria Biros
