Sierra-leonne .Who died three years ago when the revolutionary united front rebels(R.U.F)attacked our residence in Free Town, Sierra-leone. Following the cease fire agreement which was reach
last year with the help of United Nation peace keeping troops,I used the opportunity to leave the country with a very important document of (US$8.5m) Eight million Five hundred thousand U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in security company in Dakar Senegal, my name appears as next
of kin. this money was realised from diamonds export, now i and my mother are seeking asylum in
Dakar-Senegal under(UNHCR). I Contacted You Because Of The Need To Deal With Person Whom My Family And I Have No Previous Personal Relationships,And I got Your Contact through Internet when i was searching for Somebody Who will help Us out of this our Present Perdicament,And Her
People As Transparent And Trust-worthy To Engage In Business, Hence My Reason For Writing You.
