Subject: FROM:MRS MARY JAMES
AVENUE 24 RUE 204
ZONE 4 ABIDJAN
IVORY COAST,WEST AFRICA
Dearest One.
I know this proposal may come to you as a surprise considering the fact that we have not had any formal acquaintance before, but all the same I would
want you for the sake of God to give this an immediate attention in view of the fact that the security of my live and possession is at stake.
I am MRS. MARY JAMES from war ravaged SIERRA LEONE but presently domiciled in Abidjan Ivory coast with my two sons My Husband MR.GEORGE JAMES who before his untimely assassination by the rebels was the Director of SIERRA LEONE Diamond corporation.
He was killed in our government residential house along side with two of my other children two house maids and one government attached security guard, fortunately for me and my two sons,we were on a weekend visit to our home town as we got the news of the tragedy we immediately managed to run
into the neighbouring country IVORY COAST for refuge As we were coming into this country we had some documents of a deposit of $15.5m USD (fifteen
million Five hundred thousand united state dollars ) made by my late Husband in a Security company.
Following the content of my Husband,s which I saw it reads that he intended to use this fund for his international business transaction after his tenure in office but was unfortunately murdered I had located the security company where the money is deposited with the help of an attorney and
established ownership.Please right now with the bitter experiences we had in our country and the war still going on especially in diamond area which incidentally is where we hail from Coupled with the recent political upheavals and hostilities in this country Ivory coast we
desire seriously to leave here and live the rest of our life into a more peaceful and politically stable country like yours Hence this proposal and my request is granted.
Please I know that , this letter may sound strange and incredible to you but the CNN and the BBC African bulletin normally have it as their major news
features .Therefore for the sake of God and humanity give an immediate positive consideration and reply to me I will willingly agree to any suitable percentage of the money you will propose as your compensation for your assistance with regards to the above Please in view of our sensitive refugee
status and as I am still conscious of my Husband's enemies I would like you to give this a highly confidential approach.We therefore wish you can help us in the following regards.
1) To provide me with a good bank account to transfer the money into
2) To help me invest the money into a lucrative business .
3) To assist my two sons get a college admission to further their education.
Remain Blessed .
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Mary James.
