Dear ,
I am Mr. Hanson Alfred the only son of late Chief Joseph Alfred from Sierra Leone. My source of your contact gave me the courage and confidence to rely on you. I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance to transfer our cash of Nine million eight hundred thousand dollars ($9,800,000) now in the custody of a Security trust Company here in Abidjan to your private account pending our arrival to your country. SOURCE OF MONEY
My late father, Chief Joseph Alfred , a native of Mende District in the Northern Province of Sierra Leone, was the General Manager of Sierra Leone Mining Cooperation (S.L.M.C) Freetown. According to my father. this money was the income accrued from Mining Cooperation’s over draft and minor sales. Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of Major Paul KOROMA and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost destroyed my country, following the forceful removal from power of the Civilian Elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels. My father had already made arrangement for his family, my little sister and myself to be evacuated to Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire . My father deposited the box in a Private Security Company for the safe custody until after the war when he will join us.
During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate looting of public and Government properties by the Rebel forces, the Sierra Leone Mining Coop. Was one of the targets looted and destroyed. My father including other top Government functionaries were attacked and killed by the Rebels in November 2005 because of his relationship with the civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah.
Now my 16-year-old sister and myself are alone in this strange country suffering without any care or help. Without any relation, we are now like refugees and orphans. Our only hope now is in you and the box deposited in the security company.
To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways. To assist me claim this box from the Security Company as Co-beneficiary. To transfer this money in your name to your country. To make a good arrangement for a joint businessinvestment on our behalf in your country and you beingthe caretaker. To secure a college for my little sister and my self in your country to further our education. And to make arrangement for our travel with you to your countryafter you have transferred this fund. Most importantly, the security company officials do not know the exact content of the box because it was declared family valuables. The whole documents issued after deposit is in my custody. For your assistance, I beg to concede 20% of this money to you for your efforts and assistance. Please reply me in my praivate email: hanson_alfred001@yahoo.com
Best regardsHANSON and Mary Alfred
