Subject: Please i need your help. Reply me.
Dear,
Good Day to you,
I know this mail may course a little time to read but please don't
see this as an embrasment because i am writting this mail to you with tears,
and before i go futher i will let you know who i am.
my name is Prince Mani Aboumane, a Sierra Leonean schooling here in
Burkina-Faso,West Africa.I am 19years old, You will be surprised to receive
this mail from a total stranger like me, i got your contact through
internet and decided to approach you for assistance.
My father,the late Dr Aboumane,was one of the prominent Diamond dealers
in my country Sierra Leone, he was also one of the paramont chiefs in my
town before He was murdered in cold blood early last year together with my
mother by the Rebels of R.U.F when they invaded the town.
When i got home from school to see the remains of my late father and
other family members, i discovered that my home had been burnt down and my
parents were both murdered by the Rebels of R.U.F that has been fighting
against the legitimate Government in my country since 1992, Now my late
father deposited the sum of(USD$5.2million) as a FAMILY TREASURE IN A TRUST
COMPANY here in Burkina-Faso,West Africa before his untimely death,this
money was meant to be used to build an ultral mordern medical Clinic here
in Burkina-Faso for me after i shall have completed my studies as a
qualified Doctor but untimely death of my parents have denied me this
opportunity of my life.
Now,as the only son of my parents, i need someone to help me contact
the security company where my father deposited this money so that they can
CHANGE THE OWNERSHIP to your name and transfer the money into your account
and i will come over to your country to stay with you and continue my
education as soon as the security company transfer this fund into your
account because my father relatives are planning to take away the money from
the security company due to my parents are dead .
Also promising to entrust this money in your hands if you would be
willing to help me in this matter, In addition,you will equally deduct 5%
after the transfer to cover expenses incurred in the course of transfering
this fund into your account because i have went to the security company
were my father deposited this consignment for claim and the director said
that i am too young, that i should let any of my relation come who can help
me on this matter although i don't have any person since the incident
happened and my father relatives are planning to take what belong to me,
that's why i need this help from you to come and stand as my relation for
them not to denied me my future.
If you can assist, please get back to me promptly through my e-mail
address so that we can discuss the modalities of making this move.
I look forward to hear from you soonest.
Kind Regards
Prince Mani.
