ABIDJAN - COTE D?IVOIRE
PHONE: 0022507846731.

Good day,

I write to solicit for your help to immigrate to your
country and invest my funds.
Briefly, I am a Sierra Leonean National and the wife
of late Dr SIMON TOUREY.

my husband was the General overseer of the Diamond and Gold Mining Corporation
in Kanema, Sierra Leone before he died On April 6 2001.
the military forces loyal to the Government of Ahmed TIJAN KABBAH invaded
the Diamond and Gold mine and assassinated my
husband, mistaking him for ABDUL LAMINE who is the
deputy to the leader of the revolutionary United Front(RUF)opposition party
of late FODAY SANKOH.

When the news reached me, I hurried and gathered some
valuables in our house and escaped for my
life in the company of my only son Johnson.

Among the valuables was a file that contained details
of a Deposit my husband made in a bank here in
Abidjan Côte d'Ivoire. He deposited US$ 7.5 M ( Seven
Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars)This is the money he made from
the sale of Gold and diamonds during his time as the
General overseer.

We need your sincere assistance to transfer this funds
out of Côte d'Ivoire to your country for investment as the political crises
is going on here also.
Besides, our Refugee Status here did not permit us to handle any financial
transaction. We also ask you to scout for a viable
and lucrative business, so that we can invest wisely.

This fortune we have revealed to you should remain
confidential as you are the only one that knows about it.

The phone number above have been acquired for this
transaction, so that your messages will be
confidentially recieved. Call on 00225
07846731 on receipt of this message for futher
directives. May God Bless you as you assist us.
Yours Sincerely ,
Amina Tourey
