Dear Sir,

My name is Anderson Muzazah and Linda are the children
of Late General Benson Muzazah the former Director of
military inteligence and special acting General
Manager of the Sieria Leone Diamond mining coperation(
SLDMC ). I am contacting you to seek your good
assistance to transfer and invest USD 10 million
belonging to my late father which is deposited in a
bank in Abidjan. This money is revenues from solid
minirals and dimonds sale which were under my fathers
possession before the civil war broke out.

Following the break out of the war, almost all
government offices, coperations ! and parastatals were
attacked and vandalized. The SLDMC was loothed and
burnt down to ashes, and diamonds worth millions of
dollars was stolen by the rebel military forces who
attacked my fathers office.

Many top government officials and senior army officers
were assasinated and my father was a key target
because of his very sensitive military possition and
appointment in the SLDMC. Regreatably, my father was
captured and murdered along with half brother in cool
blood during a mid-night
rebel shoot-out when our official residence in
freetown was armbushed by Fordey Sanko the notorious
rebel leader.

My mother sustainded very sever bullet injuries which
resulted to her untimely and painful death in a
private hospital here in Ivory Coast.

Now we are alone in a totally strange country without
parents, relatives or any body to care for us at our
tender ages.

Before our mother died, she told us that our fathe! r
deposited some money which he made from diamond sales
and cont racts at this bank here in Ivory Coast and
that we should pray and find a trustworthy foreign
business partner who would help us to transfer and
invest this money in
profitable business venture overseas. She told us to
do this quickly so that we can leave Ivory Coast with
our cousin brother-Arthur who is here in the camp with
us and, then settle down abroad. She gave us the the
bank document to prove the deposit and then told us
that my father used my name as the only son to deposit
the money in the bank.She told us that this is the
reason why we came to
Ivory Coast. My mother died afterwards. May her spirit
rest in perfect peace.

I have gone to the bank to make inquires about this
money and I spoke with the Manager of International
remittance who assured me that everything is intact
and promised to help me transfer this money to my
foreign partners bank account as soon as we are ready
and I provide my partners
f! oreign bank account for them. But the manager is
very
concerned because of my age. I am 17 years and as such
advised that I should look for a matured person that
will represent me at the bank.

If you are willing to assist us, please let us know
immediately so that you will arrange the transfer of
the money to your account with the bank.

Please note that I can only offer you 10% of the total
money as compensation for your noble assistance in
accodiance with my mothers advise. I am interested in
any profitable commercial venture which you consider
very good in your country and you would also get a
school for me, my
little sister and cousin so that we can finish our
college education.

Please there is urgent need for the money to be
transferred to your account because of the political
crises they are having in Cote d'Ivoire now. I am
hoping to hear your urgent response so that I can not
look for another foreign p! artner.

Thank you and may God bless you and your dear family.

Please kindly contact us with this email

Yours sincerely
Anderson and Linda Muzazah.
