We are contacting you to seek your good assistance to transfer and invest the sum of US$18.5M belonging to my late father which he deposited in a bank in Abidjan , Ivory Coast (Cote d?Ivoire).
This money is revenues from solid minerals and diamond sales which were under my late father?s possession before the civil war broke out, following the broke out of the war,almost all government ffices ,coperations and arastatals were attacked and vandalized .
The SLMDC loothed and burnt down to ashes and diamond worth millions of dollars were stolen by the rebels military forces who attacked my father?s office,many top government officials and senior army officers were assasinated and my father was the key target because of sensitive military position and his appointment in the SLMDC .
Regretably,our father was captured and was murdered along with his half brother in a cool blood during a mid night rebel shoot out when our official residence in Freetown was armbushed Fonday Sankoh ,the notorios rebel leader.Our mother sustained very severe bullet injuires which resulted to her untimely and painful death in a private hospital here in Ivory Coast.
Now we are alone in a total strange country without parents,relatives or any body who can care for us at this tender ages.Before our mother died,she informed us that our late father deposited some money which made from diamond sales and contracts in a bank here in Ivory Coast and that we should pray and fine a trustworthy foriegn business partner who would help us to transfer and invest this money in a profitable business ventures overseas.She told us to do this quickly so that we can leave this country Ivory Coast with our cousin Frank who is in the camp with us and then settle down abroad.
She gave all the bank documents to prove the deposit in the bank,she informed us that this is reason why we came to Ivory Coast. I have gone to the bank to make enquires about this money and I spoke with the director of International emittance who assured me that everything is okay and promised to help me transfer this money to my foreign partner?s bank account as soon as I provide my foreign partner bank account for them.
However,the director is very much concerned because of our age,I am 23 years and my youger sister is 21 years old and the sympathy he has for our family and,as such promised to help me to ensure that the money is transferred urgently to my foreign partner. If you are willing to assist us,please let us know immediately and provide us with your following information that ware demanded by the bank to enable the bank here to transfer the money.

2.Name of the bank, address ,tel ,fax telex numbers
3.Account name and number ,swift code ,etc .
Please note that we can only offer you 25% of the total money as compensation for your noble assistance in accordance with my mother?s advise. I am interested in any profitables commerical ventures which you consider very good in your country and you would also look a school for me,my younger sister and my cousin so that we finish our education. We are hoping to hear your urgent response so that we can stop to look for another foriegn partner.
