Subject: ATTENTION PLEASE
DEAR FRIEND,
I HOPE THIS EMAIL IS REACHING YOU IN A GOOD HEALTH? MY NAME IS HENRY MOORE AND I AM FROM SIERRA LEONE. I FOUND YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS FROM A WEBSITE WHEN I WAS SEARCHING FOR A RELIABLE FOREIGN PARTNER. FOR SOMETIME NOW I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH DIFFICULTIES IN LIFE. IT ALL STARTED WHEN I LOST MY FATHER. MY FATHER WAS A GREAT OIL MERCHANT IN SIERRA LEONE; HE WAS INTO IMPORT AND EXPORT OF MAINLY CRUDE OIL AND WAS POISONED BY HIS BUSINESS COUNTERPARTS AFTER A DISPUTE OVER A BIG CONTRACT FROM A OIL COMPANY IN MY COUNTRY THAT WAS AWARDED TO MY LATE FATHER IN SIERRA LEONE. AFTER THE DEATH OF MY FATHER HIS FAMILY MEMBERS MADE AWAY WITH ALL THAT MY FATHER HAD, AND SENT ME AND MY MOTHER OUT OF MY FATHERS HOUSE, AND SOLD THE HOUSE, WE COULD NOT FIND THEM AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE WAR THAT HAPPENED IN MY COUNTRY. TWO WEEKS BACK MY MUM SHOWED ME SOME DOCUMENTS WHICH MY FATHER USED IN DEPOSITING THE SUM OF $15.2 MILLION DOLLAR IN A BANK IN GHANA AND HE USED MY NAME AS THE NEXT OF KIN. I WAS FILLED WITH JOY, AND I TRAVELED TO GHANA WITH MY MOTHER. WE GOT TO THE BANK AND PRESENTED THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS THAT WAS GIVEN TO MY LATE FATHER AT THE TIME HE DEPOSITED THE MONEY WITH THE BANK. THEY ACCEPTED THAT THE MONEY IS THERE, BUT THEY CAN NOT RELEASE IT TO ME, BECAUSE MY FATHER STATED AT THE TIME OF DEPOSIT THAT THE FUND WILL LEAVE AFRICA ON TRANSIT TO HIS FOREIGN PARTNER OVERSEAS FOR OTHER PURPOSE, BUT LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT MY DAD WAS PLANNING OF OPENING A COMPANY ABROAD.
WE WERE ADVISED BY THE BANK TO GET A FOREIGN PARTNER WHO IS RELIABLE TO HELP US RECEIVE THE FUND FROM THE BANK, SO WE 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. MY SELF AND MY MUM HAVE AGREED TO GIVE YOU 25% OF THE TOTAL FUND AS SOON AS IS BEEN TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. THEN I AND MY MUM CAN COME OVER TO YOUR COUNTRY AND START A BETTER LIFE. PLEASE I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT I WANT TO TRUST YOU, AND I FEEL YOU CAN HELP ME AND MY MUM, THAT IS WHY I AM TELLING YOU THIS TOP SECRET.AS I AM WRITING YOU THIS MAIL WITH TEARSON MY EYES, BECAUSE MY MUM IS VERY SICK AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY HERE IN GHANA AS WE ARE LIVING IN THE BUGUBORA REFUGEE CAMP HERE AND THE CAMP IS NOT A PLACE TO LIVE. AFTER I HEAR FROM YOU I WILL SEND YOU THE DETAILS CONCERNING THE FUND.I WILL SEND YOU EVIDENCE OF DEPOSIT ISSUED TO MY LATE FATHER AT THE TIME HE DEPOSITED THE MONEY WITH THE BANK. KINDLY GET BACK TO ME WITH THIS INFORMATION'S AS STATED BELOW SO THAT I CAN BE ABLE TO FORWARD TO YOU ALL THE DETAILS OF THE FUND AND THE DEPOSIT BANK FOR YOU TO OPEN COMUNICATION WITH THEM OK. 1, FULL NAME:2, AGE AND SEX:3, CONTACT ADDRESS:4, TELEPHONE AND FAX:5, OCCUPATION: YOU CAN AS WELL GET BACK TO ME THROUGH THIS EMAIL ADDRESS (drhenrymoorebaa@rediffmail.com) KIND REGARDS,HENRY MOORE,
