Dear Friend ,
Urgent Fund USD$16.5 Million Dollars Transfer Assistance
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope this mail meets you in good health and spirit. I am Nathaneal Dougbo, a Sierra-Leonian. Presently, I live as a refugee in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, West Africa. I am a victim of war and the son of late Dr Harris Dougbo, the assassinated former Director of Sierra Leone Gold and Diamond mining corporation. I have the confidence and trust to contact you based on my faith in God and the reliability of the source of your contact.
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 crises in Sierra Leone. A few weeks later, the rebels also invaded our residential building in which my mother and two of my junior sisters including two of our security guards were killed in the compound while I was out for a special research programme. I had a singular shock and trauma, which compelled me to flee from the country to Ivory Coast with the help of an army colonel who was a close friend of my late father.
My educational career was jeopardized as a result of the sudden death of my parents.
I am contacting you now because of the present difficulty I am facing.Unfortunately, my fathers two accounts in West Africa have recently been frozen. However, this did not affect the Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD$16,500,000.000), which he deposited in a bank in Abidjan Ivory Coast. For now I am having every information and document needed for the clearance of the money in the bank here in Abidjan and I want you to act as the beneficiary of the fund for easy and smooth transfer of the fund to your bank account abroad.
I promise to give you 15% of the total amount for your assistance as soon as this transfer is concluded. You will invite me to your country where you can introduce me into a very profitable business in which I can invest part of the money. I am making this request to you with tears in my eyes and I feel that God Almighty will touch you with His spirit to listen to my cry for help and answer me without delay since my breadwinner is no more and this is my only hope in life.
Your positive response will give me the greatest joy and relief .Furthermore you can indicate your option towards assisting me as i believe that this transaction would be concluded within seven ( 7 ) days you signify interest to assist me.
Anticipating to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Nathaneal Dougbo.
