Good a thing to write you. we have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will I am Miss Jesifer John, 18 years, and my brother Paul John Junior 21 years old the daughter and son of the late Dr Paul John of the late blessed memory. my father was a highly reputable busnness man He was the Director General National Gold and Diamond Mining Corporation of Sierra-Leone.

It is sad to say that he passed away misteriously in Dublin during one of his business trips, Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old and my brother 7 years old,and since then our father took us so special.

Before his death he gave to us the documents of the money he has deposited in a security company in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire in two trunk Boxes as family valuables and treasures with Name of my brother as the only son (Paul John Junior) as the beneficiary. He instructed I and my brother to move out of Sierra-Leone because of his uncle and with the political crisis in Sierra-Leone

The amount is US $-8 m. (Eight million United State Dollars) We managed to escape to Abidjan, the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire through the help of my father's friend. For your information, the security Company does not know the real content of the boxes and we do not wish them to know until the consignments are released to you, for security reasons because they were deposited and registered as family valuables and treasures.

Meanwhile, we would want to leave Cote d'Ivoire entirely with this money for investment in your country because of the political crisis hear in this country and mostly for the future of my brother and me My brother is very sick that is why i am Mailing you, for he can not go to net.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help us as your own daughter and son?
2. Can we completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?

Please, Consider this and get back to us as soon as possible and may God be with you. (AMEN)

Thank you so much.
Our sincere regards,

Jesifer John / Paul John Junior.
