the son of late MR ROBERT NADU who was a famous
produce buyer and we are citizens of Sierra Leone ,but
residents in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, west Africa since
the past 15years. At the time my father was alive, he
operated his company under partnership with indigens
of Coted’Ivoire and Mali. His associates poisoned him
to claim his wealth. He was rushed to the hospital
where he secretly disclosed to me the cause of his
sickness,accusing his associates. Again, he disclosed
to me that he deposited the sum of US $ 6.000.000
(six million united states of American dollars only)
in one of the banks here in Côte d’Ivoire . And that is the reason why his associates want him dead.
He advised me to source for a reliable foreign
investor to assist me transfer the fund abroad strictly
for investment purposes. This is because he didn’t
want
his associates to raise eye brow on this fund or kill
me as well.More also, he advised me to stay clear from
his associates who will be running after my dear
life.Finally, he died in the hospital after 2 days of
admission.
So, I am soliciting for your assistance to transfer
this fund to your country strictly for investment
purposes. As soon as you show your willingness to
assist, I shall send to you the photocopies of all the
documents that is relating to this
transaction.Presently my mother is very ill and my two
younger ones are no longer schooling due to the fear
of
possibly kidnapping by my late father’s associates who
are hunting for us due to this fund. My late father
advised me to offer 5% of the total sum as the
commission to anyone who assists me to transfer this
fund abroad. 5% extra will be mapped out for any
miscellinous that should occur in the course of this
transaction. Moreover, as I am a layman in investment,
you shall assist me to invest this fund in your
country, issue a letter of invitation to enable me a visa to your country immediately this fund must have been transferred into your country.
