CONFIDENTIAL AND URGENT ATTANTION
Dear One,
I know that this letter may or may not come to you as Surprise. But after much considerations I decide to write to you. I am ERIC OBIECHE, a Sierra Leonean.I am the Son of Dr federick Obieche and a former student of the federal university of Freetown sierraLeone. my Father Dr Federick Obieche was the former finance minister of sierra Leone. In the cause of the war which is presently going on in my country. He was accused by Tejan Kabba's President of sierra Leone of embezzlement and supporting the rebel leader Forday Sankoh's group for fighting against his government.Two weeks later he was assassinated with three of our family members including my mother by unknownassassins on their way home on the 22nd of Febuary 2005. in few days before his assassination he disclosed to me about a deposit he made with prime bank in Abidjan for a life time investment purpose. After his death I went in his private safe and took the documents concerning the deposit and made my way to
Abidjan with my junior sister to avoid the reoccurrance of what happened to my parents. Presently I am in Abidjan with my junior sister as refugees under the help of peace keeping force and we don't intend to go back to our country although the situation seems to return normal some-how now. Then going through the documents I understand that the money was deposited in one of the prime bank here in Abidjan the sum of US$7.5M ( seven million five hundred united state dollars) Now, having succeeded in locating the area where the money was deposited, I am soliciting for your assistance, to act as my father's bussiness partner since I and my sister are the only beneficiaries of this deposited funds. So help me to up-lift this money to your account where we would invest it in any lucrative business in your country with you acting as my investment broker and partner.I am awaiting anxiously to hear from you as your involvement and modalities of this transaction will be carefully
discussed in our next correspondence.
I am honourably seeking your assistancein the following ways:
(1) To provide a bank account into which this money would be transferred to.
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am 23years old.
(3) To make arrangement for us to come over to your country to further our education and to secure a resident permit in your country.
(4)Finally to sign the release bond with the bank as my father`s partner as soon as I made the changing of ownership to your name as the beneficiary to allow you sign the release bond.
Yours Faithfully one.
