Permit us to inform you that after reading your information in the net, I became interested in disclosing every thing about us to you.
We are David and rose williams, the children of late Chief John williams, the former Chief Accountant to the Sierra-Leone gold cooperation in Kenama Sierra Leone , who was assassinated by the RUF rebels during his visit to our village. Unfortunately our mother died for heart attack
three weeks later. Before, the death of our father, at his hospital bed side, our father advised me and my younger Sister to travel to Cote dIvoire and look for a foreign partner to transfer this fund in the bank
and invest it in abroad. We inherited a total sum of $15 million us dollars,(Fifteen million united states dollars)
from my late beloved father as the next of kin to my family, This money which is deposited with a bank here in Abidjan. I will give you the information of the bank later.
We need your assistance to help us move this funds out for investment in your country as we can not invest here due to its nearness to our country and the war still going on there, we ask you to scout for a valuable and lucrative business, so that we can invest wisely, We have in mind to give you 20% of the total sum of US $12.million. While you will assist us to invest the balance upon our arrival. By this mail you are now requested to arrange on how we can move the fund quick to your account in your country
for investment. Now they is a big political problem here in Cote D'Ivoire which people are now traveling out of the country and we want this money to move out of this country please help us.
Now that we are in Abidjan, we have been able to locate the bank where the money was deposited. The bank manager have told us that we will bring the foreign bank details which will include:
1) Account name,
2) Account number,
3) Bank address, telephone and fax number,
4) Name and address of beneficiary including telephone and fax numbers.
