FROM ANGELA AND STANLEY
Avenu 12 Reu 47 ABIDJAN
DANANI REFUGEE CAMP, ABIDJAN
REPUBLIC OF COTE-D'IVOIRE
Dearest One,
Our names are ANGELA and STANLEY we are the children of Late
General the former Director of military inteligence and
special acting General Manager of the Sieria Leone Diamond
mining coperation(SLDMC).
I am contacting you to seek your good assistance to
transfer and invest USD 10 m(ten million dollars)
belonging to my late father which is deposited in a
bank in Abidjan. This money is revenues from solid minirals
and dimonds sale which were under my fathers possession
before the civil war broke out. Following the break out of
the war,almost all government offices,coperations and parastatals
were attacked and vandalized.
The SLDMC was loothed and burnt down to ashes,and diamonds
worth millions of dollars was stolen by the rebel military
forces who attacked my fathers office. Many top government
officials and senior army officers were assasinated and my
father was a key target because of his very sensitive
military possition and appointment in the
SLDMC.Regreatably, my father was captured and murdered
along with half brother in cool blood during a mid-night
rebel shoot-out when our official residence in freetown was
armbushed by Fordey Sanko the notorious rebelleader. My
mother sustainded very sever bullet injuries which resulted
to her untimely and painful death in a private hospital
here in Ivory Coast.
Now we are alone in a totally strange country without
parents,relatives or any body to care for us at our tender
ages.
Before our mother died, she told us that our father
deposited some money which he made from diamond sales and
contracts at this bank here in Ivory Coast and that we
should pray and find a trust worthy foreign business
partner who would help us to transfer and invest this money
in profitable business venture overseas.
She told us to do this quickly so that we can leave Ivory
Coast here,then settle down abroad. She gave us the bank
document to prove the deposit and then told us that my
father used my name as the only son to deposit the money in
the bank.She told us that this is the reason why we came to
Ivory Coast. My mother died after wards. May her spirit
rest in perfect peace.
I have gone to the bank to make inquires about this money
and I spoke with the Manager of International remittance
who assured me that everything is intact and promised to
help me transfer this money to my foreign partners bank
account as soon as I provide my partners foreign bank
account for them. However, the manager is very concerned
because of my age.I am 23 years and as such advised that I
should look for a matured person that will represent me at
the bank.
If you are willing to assist us, please let us know
immediately so that you will arrange the transfer of the
money to your account with the bank.Please note that I can
only offer you 20% of the total money as compensation for
your noble assistance in accodiance with my mothers advise
I am interested in any profitable commercial venture which
you consider very good in your country and you would also
get a school for me, my little sister and cousin so that we
can finish our college education.
Please there is urgent need for the money to be transferred
to your account because of the political crises they are
having in Cote d'Ivoire now. I am hoping to hear your
urgent response so that I cannot look for another foreign
partner.
SO IF YOU CAN BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME, PLEASE DO URGENTLY
REPLY ME SO THAT I WILL LINK YOU FOR FURTHER DETAILS
AND DON'T FORGET TO GIVE ME YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND
FAX NUMBERS WHILE REPLYING THIS LETTER.
Thank you and may God bless you and your dear family.
Yours sincerely
ANGELA AND STANLEY
