Dear Friend,
How are you doing i hope this email is reaching you in good health? My name
is David Weah from Sierra lone I found your contact from a website when l
was searching for a reliable foreign partner.
For sometime now l have been going through difficulties in life. Actually it
all started when l lost my father , He was poisoned by one of his business
associate after a dispute over a big contract that was awarded to my father
in Sierra Lone ,l am presently left with my mum alone. After the death of my
father, his family member came to the house and made away with all my father
had left behind for us, after which they instructed me and my mother to pack
out of my father's house, after which they sold the house. We could not find
them again because of the war that happened in my country.
Two weeks back my mother who currently suffering from serious liver cancer
showed me some document's which my father used in depositing $3.5Million
dollars in a bank in Ghana with my name as the next of kin to the funds. l
was filled with joy when my mother showed me those documents, so I had to
traveled to Ghana to confirm.I got to the bank and we presented all the
document that was given to my father at the time he deposited the fund with
the bank, we were told that the money is still with the bank, but they can
not release the fund to me because my father stated that the money was in
transit to his foreign partner overseas.
We were advised by the bank to get a foreign partner who is trust worthy to
help us receive the fund from the bank. So i want you to be our foreign
partner, and help us contact the bank, so that the bank can transfer the
money of my late father to your account, and myself and my mum have agreed
to give you 25% of the total fund, then i and my mum can come over to your
country and meet you so we all can start a better and happy life again.
Please, i want you to understand that i trusted you, and i feel you can help
me and my mother. This is why am telling you this top secret.As am writing
you this mail, my eyes are filled with tears because my mum health is fast
deteriorating. Please try your best and help me and my mum. l will send
evidence of deposit issued to my late father as soon as I hear from you
Please send me your phone number to enable me talk to you
God Bless
David Weah
