*DearestOne, *
*Complimentsof the day.How are you, your business and family? I hope all is
well.I decidedto communicate with you about my present condition with my
only junior brother. *
*I am Mercy Benson daughter of the late ENGR. FERICOH BENSON of Free town
SierraLeone with my brother . I have a young brother from the family of two
becausemy beloved mother died on the day my younger brother was delivered
and my father refused to re-marry immediately because he is the only child
of hisparents and don't want anybody that will maltreat us due to the love
he has forus. *
*My late father Engr.Fericoh Benson was the Managing Director (MD) of BETAX
PLC a Gold and Diamond Mining corporation company. During the time of his
service he was a very devoted and God fearing person. This cause his fellow
staff to hate him because he always refuse to collaborate with them in doing
evil. So one evening october 2004 when I was coming back with my dad from
shopping inhis own private car we ran into bandits(hired assasins) who were
totally armed they trace us till we reach home.*
*There they attacked us, my father pleaded withthem to take everything he
has and spare his life. They took everything andalso shot him three times on
his chest and left with a word saying( That theywere hired to kill him) My
father died in cold blood. We have ran out of that our old residence and
living now with our church servant of God for securityand sipiritual
upliftment immediately after the burial of my father.The problemwe are
facing is that my father's business wicked staffs is hunting for us tokill
so as to eliminate any thing concerning our father. Our uncle whom we
thought that could help us carry on with life, turned to show us the worst
partof life by taking all our valuable prperties including cash
money,landedprperties and my father's car, living us with nothing with an
open Confession that he will kill us if found that we still have any other
thing remaining mostly money. *
*The only hope for me and my junior brother to live and continue our
eduction lieson you to help us come in as my late father's foreign business
to work with abank here where my father made a fixed/suspense deposit of
US$12.5M with my name as the next of kin. When I went to the bank here with
the depositdocuments which my late father gave me for confirmation and to
see if they cangive us money from it.The bank officer presicly told me that
is true that I'm the next of kin but the deposit clause and the nature of
the deposit doesn'twarrant them withdrawing any money from it until is
transferred to a foreignaccount of his business partner which was exactly
what my father told me beforehe took his last breath. *
*PleaseI'm on my knees appealing that you help me out of this problem to
have thisfund transferred to your account after which I and my brother will
have our wayto your country to spend all our live,continue our education
while you investpart of the money for us in profit yelding venture. To
