Dear Respetful One.
Assalam.
I Hope This Mail Meets You In Good Health And Spirit, I Am, Abiba Usman Hamed. A Sierra Leonia. Presently, I Live As A Refugee In republic of cote d'ivoire , With My Younger brother Hassan.
I Am A Victim Of War And The Daugther Of Late Alhaji Usman Hamed. The
Assassinated Former Assistant Director Of Sierra Leone Gold And Diamond Mining Corporation. My Father Was Killed With Other Government Officials During Official Hours When The Rebel Troops Stormed And Raided The Mining Corporation Office At The Heat Of The Crisis In My Country.
A Few Weeks Later, The Rebels Also Invaded Our Residential Building In Which My Mother And Two Of Our Security Men Were Killed In The Compound While I Was Out For A Special Research Program And My Younger Brother Was In School.
I Had A Singular Shock And Trauma, Which Compelled Us To Flee From The Country To republic of Cote d'ivoire By The Help Of An Army Colonel, Who Is A Close Friend Of My Late Father,
I Have diploma in Marketing And Would Have Further My Education If Not For
The Death Of My Parents. I Have Never Worked To Earn My Living Since My Late Parents Had Enough Wealth For Us.
I Am Contacting You Now Because Of The Present Difficulty I Am Facing.
Unfortunately My Father's Two Accounts In West Africa Have Recently Been Frozen. However This Did Not Affect The Six Million And five Hundred Thousand Dollars (Us$ 6,500,000),
Which He Kept In a metalic trunk box in a security company in abidjan Cote d'ivoire. For Now, I Am Having Every Information And Document Needed For The Clearance Of The Money In The security company Here In abidjan And I Want You To Act As The Beneficiary Of The Fund and also as my late fathers business associate For Easy And Smooth Transfer To Your Account Abroad For Investment Purposes.
And i will like to notify you that the security company do not know the real content of the trunk box as it was deposited and stated vital family belongings and atworks.You Will No Doubt Be Adequately Compensated With As Well As A Percentage Of The Profit From Investment Of The Fund. Also You Will See To It That My Brother And I Come Over To Your Country At The Earliest Possible Time. I Am Making This Request To You With Tears In My Eyes And I Feel That Almighty Allah Will Touch You With His Spirit To Listen To My Cry For Help And Answer Me Without Delay.
Since Our Breadwinner Is No More And This Is The Only Hope For Life.
You Positive Response Will Give Me The Greatest Joy And Relief. Allah Bless You For Your Kind Assistance We Have Agreed To Offer You 20% Of The Total Sum.if you will not betray us after the money is in your account.
