Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

Dear Respectful One,
Warm greetings to you and your family in the name of God. I introduce my
self
to you with all faith, trust and hope you will understand to assist us not
to
betray us at the end. I was 20 Years old boy when my father died 2 years ago
in a gold mine in MENDE, Republic of Serria Leone .He was into legal gold
mining,he has succeeded in saving the sum of Ten million, five hundred
thousand United State Dollars.USD ($10.500,000)left in fixed /suspense
account
in one of the prime bank here in Abidjan during his Business on Gold, before
he went on a trip to Republic of Cote D`Ivoire West Africa near by country
to
our country to save his money for security reasons because of the political
problem in our country.
Since the death of our father our step mother has been trying to kill us,
she
has been given us a lot of problem and she have collected every thing from
us
and now she still need the deposit certificate to claim this fund but I
can`t
give this to her because is all we have to leave with. I am 22 years while
my
sister Lora is 20 years old of age we still need to go to school and have a
better education and start a new life. Our step mother knows that our dad
has
such money but she don`t know where exactly the fund is been deposited.
Right
now we are hiding in a refugee camp in Ivory Coast. Our father used my name
Valentine Mane as the next of kin to the deposited fund. And we ran away
with
the deposit document, so nobody have access to the money now except me and
my
younger sister Lora.
We need help from you to assist us to transfer this money to your country
for
investment and you will be sincere to invite us to your country without
cheating us or doing bad to us on our arrival with my sister, we are willing
to offer you 15% of the total sum after the transfer of this fund into your
account in overseas. Please mail me urgently to know your stands before
looking for help elsewhere, you`re the first person we are contacting in
this
issue.
Please permit me to ask, can you honestly help us as your own people and can
we completely trust you? We are kindly requesting for this vital information
from you if you agreed to assist us out of our problem: (1) Your full name

about yourself in your reply to my letter to you. Thank you for your signify
