RUE 25 MACCORY
ABIDJAN -COTE D'IVOIRE.
WEST AFRICA
Dear,
My name is Mike Johnson from Sierra Leonean. I am 19 years old and a student. Please I would like you to assist me as urgent as you can, before they kill me. My father is a wealthy cocoa merchant. Trouble began early last two year when my father's relatives and coligue began suspecting that my father is not giving proper accounts of all the tonnes of cocoa being cultivated by local farmers in our villages.
This mistrust began between Oct-Sept, 2005 when they discovered a very large some of money my father deposited with a Bank here in ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE (FORMALLY IVORY COAST in West Africa. As a result of this discovery and the envy on the money he was poisoned by this people called his enemies.
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, being the only child. He advised me that in case he die, that I should not stay in this country Sierra Leone because his associates will equally kill me hence my mother had died five years ago of breast cancer.
Before my father finaly died, he sent a written letter of authorising this bank to release his funds to me through his foreign partner who will serve as my legal trustee, he also instructed that if he dies, I should look for one of his foreign partners who will help me to invest my inheritance overseas because of his enemies and political crises here. but it was unfortunately that he did not inform me of his partners, before he died.
Based on this problem, I decided to contact you and present you to the bank as my guardian trustee, who will help me provide legal address where the bank will issue the money order, because the bank has approved to issue a money order cashable in overseas for the onward investment as advised by my father. My father finally died on the 5th of December, 2007 and since then, I was out of school and went into hiding place because of my father's enemies. All the relevant documents of the $8.000, 000.(Eight Million United States Dollars) that was deposited in a Commercial Bank by my late father, are with me now.
I will have no regret in given you 15% of the total money, if you can help me get this secured for me in your country through the bank draft money order, for onward investment in your country. Please contact me immediately with the above E-mail address and include your telephone and Fax numbers to enable me send you all necessary documents as regards the money.
I'm waiting for your urgent reply.
Best regards. Sincerely,
Mike Johnson
