trust and
humility, I use this medium to write this letter to you irrespective

family in dare need of assistance.
I am Mr.David Richard and my sister is Miss Ollian Richard, we are

absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance to transfer our
cash of
Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000.000.00) cash bond concealed and
secured in Two
treasure trunk boxes which is now safely secured in the vault of a
Security
brokerage Firm in Europe . The money is declared as family valuables
by my
late father,as a matter of fact,the company do not know the content
as money,
although my father made them to understand that the boxes belongs to
his
foreign partner.
My late father Chief Richard Tefeya , a native of Mende District in
the
Northern Province of liberia, was the General Manager of liberia
Mining co-
operation (S.L.M.C.) cape month. According to my father, this money
was the
income accrued from Mining Cooperation's over draft and minor sales.
During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate
looting of
Public and Government properties by the rebel forces, the LIBERIA
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
2000 because of his relationship with the civilian Government of
Brant.As a
result of my father's death and with the news of my uncle's
involvement in the
air crash in January it dashed our hope of survival. The untimely
deaths
caused my mother's heart failure and other related complications of
which she
later died in the hospital after we must have spent a lot of money on
her
early last year. Now my kid sister and I are alone in this strange
country
suffering without any care or help, we are now like refugees and
orphans. Our
only hope now is in you to assist us.
I humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways.
