Dear One,
Please I am Williams Falama 19 yrs old, the only Son of late Chief George
Falama from Sierra Leone.I got your contact from my search in internet.
My sources of your contact gave me the courage and confidence to rely on
you. I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your
assistance to transfer our cash of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollar($7,500,000.00)now in the custody of a Bank here in
Abidjan to your private account pending our arrival to your country.
SOURCE OF THE MONEY
My late father, Chief George Falama, a native of mende district in the
Northern province of Sierra Leone, was the general Manager of Sierra Leone
mining co-operation (S.L.M.C.)Freetown. According to my father.This money
was the income accrued from mining co-operation's over draft and minor
sales.
Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of major Paul
Koroma and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that
almost destroyed my country, following the forceful removal from power of
the Civilian Elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels.My father
had already made arrangement for his family, my mother, my little sister and
myself to be evacuated to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire with our personal
effects.My father deposited the fund for the safe custody until after the
war when he will join us.
During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate looting of
public and Government properties by therebel forces, the sierra Leone mining
co-op was one of the targets looted and destroyed.
My father including other top Government functionaries were attacked and
killed by the rebels in November 2002 because of his relationship with the
civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. As a result of my father
death,and with the news of my uncles involvement in air crash in January,
dashed our hope of survival. The untimely deaths caused my mothers heart
failure and other related complications of which she later died in the
hospital After we must have spent a lot of money on her.
Now my younger sister Esther and myself are alone in this strange country
suffering without any care or help. Without any relation, we are now like
refugees and orphans. Our only hope now is in the fund our father deposited
in the BANK. To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the
followings ways.To assist me claim this fund from the Bank as co-eneficiary.
To transfer this money in your name to your country. To make a good
arrangement for a joint business investment on our behalf in your country
with you as the caretaker.To secure a college for my little sister and my
self in your country to further our education. And to make arrangement for
our travel to your country after you have transferred this fund. Most
importantly.
The whole documents issued after deposit is in my custody. For your
assistance,I beg to concede 10% of this money to you for your assistance.
Best regards
Williams and Esther Falama.
