Dear Respectful One,
With due respect and humility I write you this letter

Prior to my father assassination by the rebel forces loyal to CORPORAL
FODAY SANKOH of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), He was the
Director
General National Gold and Diamond Mining Corporation of Sierra-Leone.
Few
days before my father was assassinated, he instructed me to move out
of
Sierra-Leone and also to go in his underground strong room where the
documents of
money he has deposited in a security company in Abidjan Côte d'Ivoire
in one
trunk Box as family valuables and treasures with the name as the
beneficiary. The amount is US$15.500
(Fifteen million five hundred thousand United States Dollars. I managed
to
escape to Abidjan the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire through the help of my
fathers friend who is a trawler. As our travelling document
was seized. I am now looking for a trustworthy and God fearing person
who
will handle this money for rapid profit for my future
For your information , the security company did not know the real
content of
the box and we do not wish them to know until the money is transferred
to
your account. As it was deposited as family valuables and
treasures. Meanwhile, I want to leave Côte d'Ivoire entirely for
investment
of this money in your country and mostly for my future. I want you to
please assist me to claim the box from the security
company and also deposit the money in a local account there in your
name and
order the bank to transfer the money to your account in your country.
As my
foreign partner. I have it in mind to reward you with a
certain percentage for your assistance.box and transferring of the
money
into your account.
Finally, Please ensure that no one else knows about this money as it is
only
myself yourself and the Rev. Pastor of the church where I worship
knows
about this money. May God bless you as you assist me.
Yours Faithfully.
