Subject: HOPING TO HERE FROM YOU.
Good Day,
Please I am Philip Moses, the only son of late chief George
Moses from Sierra Leone. I am writing you in absolute
confidence primarily to seek your assistance to transfer our
cash of ten million United States dollars ($10,000,000) now
in the custody of a BANK here in Benin Republic to your
private account pending our arrival to your country.
My late father, Chief George Moses, a native of Mende
district in the Northern Province of Sierra. Leone was the
general Manager of Sierra Leone mining co-operation
(S.L.M.C.) Freetown. According to my father. This money was
the income accrued from mining co-operations over draft and
minor sales.
Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces
of Major Paul Koroma and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace
keeping operation that almost destroyed my country,
following the forceful removal from power of the Civilian
Elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels. My
father had already made arrangement for his family, my
mother, my little sister and myself to be evacuated to
Cotonou, Benin Republic with our personal effects and the
box containing team. My father deposited the fund for the
safe custody until after the war when he will join us.
During the war in my country, and following the
indiscriminate looting of public and Government properties
by the rebel in forces, the Sierra Leone mining coop. was
one of the targets looted and destroyed.
My father including other top Government functionaries were
attacked and killed by the rebels in November 2001 because
of his relationship with the civilian Government of Ahmed
Tejan Kabbah. As a result of my father death, and with the
news of my uncles involvement in air crash in January,
dashed our hope of survival. The untimely deaths caused my
mothers heart failure and other related complications of
which she later died in the hospital after we must have
spent a lot of money on her. Now my 18-year-old sister and I
are alone in this strange country suffering without any care
or help. Without any relation, we are now like refugees and
orphans. Our only hope now is in fund our father deposited
in the BANK To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance
in the following ways. To assist me claim this fund from the
BANK as co-beneficiary.

a good arrangement for a joint business investment on our
behalf in your country and you, the caretaker. To secure a
college for my little sister and my self in your country to
further our education. And to make arrangement for our
travel with you to your country after you have transferred
