FROM CHARLES AND LILIAN ANTHONY
ABIDJAN COTE D IVOIRE
WEST AFRICA.
Dear,
COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON
We wish to solicit your help in migrating to your country and investing our funds. Briefly, We are Sierra Leonean National and the Son and Douther of late Mr MIKE ANTHONY. I am 25 years while my younger Sister 18.
Until his death, our father was the General overseer of the Diamond Mine in Kanema Sierra Leonne. On November 6 2005 the military forces loyal to the Government of Ahmed TIJAN KABBAH invaded the diamond mine and assassinated our father, mistaking him for his brother SIMON ANTHONY who is the deputy to the leader of the revolutionary United Front (RUF) FODAY SANKOH.
When the news reached us, we hurried gathered some valuables in our family villa and escaped for our dear life. Among the valuables was a file that contained details of a deposit our father made in a BANK, although our late father has secretly told us before the incedent that he has a sum of (US$20,000,000.00 Twenty Million United States dollar)that he deposited in BANK in my name CHARLES ANTHONY as the only son, the money he made at his time as General overseer of the Diamond Mine in Kanema Sierra Leonne Now that we are in Abidjan and verified the deposit with the BANK as the rightfull owner, we need your assistance to move this fund out of Cote d,Ivoire for investment in your country as we cannot invest here due to its nearness to our country and the war still going on their. We ask you to scout for a viable and lucrative business, so that we can invest wisely.
We have it in mind to give you 10% of the total sum(US$20,000,000.00 Twenty Million United States dollar), and 15% share in any investment we will embark upon if you assist us. We will also set aside 5% of the funds for ancillary expenses which you will make in course of this transaction- fax messages, phone calls,etc.
This fortune we have revealed to you should remain confidential as it only you who we have told about it. Note that this transaction is risk free.
God Blessed you.
Charles Anthony.
Lilian Anthony
