Dear Friend,

COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON. I wish to solicit your help in migrating to your country and investing my funds. Briefly, I am a Sierra Leonean National and the wife of late Dr SIMON LAMINE .

Until his death, my husband was the General overseer of the Diamond Mine in Kanema Sierra Leone. On December 6 2000 the military forces loyal to the Government of Ahmed TIJAN KABBAH invaded the diamond mine and assassinated my husband, mistaking him for his brother MIKE LAMINE who is the deputy to the leader of the  revolutionary United Front (RUF ) FODAY SANKOH.

When the news reached me, I hurried gathered some valuables in our family villa and escaped for my dear life in the company of my only son Micheal.

Among the valuables was a file that contained details of a deposit my husband made in a BIAO BANK in Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire. He deposited 25.5 million US dollars  in suspense account with BIAO BANK in the name of our son MICHAEL  he made from the sale of Gold and diamonds during his time as the General overseer.

Now that we are in Abidjan and verified the deposit, we need your assistance to move this funds out of Côte 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 there. We ask you to scout for a viable and lucrative business, so that we can invest wisely.

We have it in mind to give your 10% of the total sum (25.5 million US Dollars), 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.

The phone number above have been acquierd for this transaction, so that your messages will be confidentially recieved. Call my son Micheal  0022505270965 on receipt of this message for futher directives. Note that this transaction is risk free. All I need from you is to  forward me your account informations  in order to transfer the money to your account.

God Blessed you .

Dear Ahmad ,
 
Thank you for your mail and your willingness to assist me out of my trying times. I know we never meet before but due to I need this money to transfer that is why I contacted you please help me.

I live in Abidjan . Believe me I manage to survive with my son Michael.

Yes it is not common to see someone in a world we live  in today with all sorts of evil, trust a perfect stranger with my money which is my whole life, but my experiences in life have taught me that it means no harm. Close friends and associates can also fail you.  I decided I want to contact someone to help me and I cannot know who to contact among those I can claim to know.  When our properties were been confiscated by the government.
 
Trust is something we cannot buy but we can build. I wish to build an everlasting relationship with you by trusting you to help me out of my present predicament.
Due to the nature of the deposit and agreement between the bank and my husband I am not allowed to withdraw from the money in the bank.No body is responsible for me. Because of the nature of my husband's death nobody knows my wayabout. Yes with your help and assistance I can travel out of Cote d'Ivoire.
 
What ever plans you want to make in order for me my son Michael to send this money to you and then relocate to your country and be able to lead a normal life, feel free to do it I have no objections.
 
On my own side, I wanted you to receive the money for me in your account for investments in your country  I have take the informations to the bank so that told me that them need your  Private phone and fax numbers for direct contact by the bank.
