Subject: Waiting For Your Response
Dear Belove,
This is not really to cause you any kind of embarrassment as we are completely strangers to each other, I am Paul Hector from Sierra-Leone. Please I would like you to assist me as urgent as you can, My father is a wealthy cocoa merchant. Trouble began early last two year when my father's associates began Suspecting that my father is not giving proper accounts of all the tonnes of cocoa being cultivated by Local farmers in some villages.
This mistrust deepens between Oct-Sept, 2006 when they discovered a Very large some of money my father deposited with a Security Company here in ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE, As a result of this discovery and the envy on the money he was poisoned by his associates.
At his hospital bed, he revealed to me the reasons of his sickness and directed me where to get the documents of the said Deposit which he made on my name as the next of kin, He advised me that in case he die, that i should not stay in this country Sierre Leone because his associates will equally kill me hence my mother had died five years ago of breast cancer.
He also instructed that if he dies, I should look for a foreign Investor/partner who will help me transfer the money out of this country (Abidjan Coted'Ivoire)and also help me to invest the money in any good and profitable business in his country. Based on this, I had to contact you bearing in mind that you will be humane enough to protect my life. My father finally died on the 29th of August, 2007 and since then, I was out of school and went into hiding because of my father's associates. All the relevant documents of the $6.000, 000. (Six Million United States Dollars) are with me now.
All am seeking for is your assistance to help me transfer this Money out of this country and also relocate to your country to further my studies and i am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum for your help.
Any delay in your reply may give me room in sourcing for another person for this same purpose.
I'm waiting for your urgent reply.
Best regards.
Paul Hector.
