Dear Respectable one,
It is my pleasure to write you regardless of the fact that we do not know
each other in person With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings,
and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to
you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally.
However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which
I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity.
I am Rayford the son of late Mr. George Bangura. I contacted you to solicit
your assistance towards claiming and transfering a huge sum of money deposited
in a bank here in Ivory Coast by my late father - to your account for onward
investment and education on behalf of me. My father was a very wealthy Cocoa/Mineral
Resources Merchant in Freetown the Economic Capital of the Sierra-Leone,
my father was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their
outings on a business trip.My mother died when I was a baby and since then
my father took me so special. Before the death of my father on Novembe,
2001 in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me to his
bedside and told me that he has the sum of US$7.5 Million United States
Dollars (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) left in a deposit/suspense
account in one of the prime banks. He said that he used my name as his only
son for the next of kin in the depositing the fund. He also explained to
me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business
associates. That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of mychoice
where I will transfer this money and use it for investment in a viable
venture.
Sir, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways :
1. To arrange a visit to Abidjan - Ivory Coast so that we present you beforethe
bank as our late father's froeign business partner and as well preferred
partner recorgnized by the family to settle our father's estate.
2. To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 22 years old
3. To make arrangement for me and my junior sister to come over to your
country to further our education and to secure Residence permit in your
county. Moreover, Sir, I am willing to offer you 25% of the total sum as
compensation for your effort after the successful transfer of this fund
into your nominated account overseas.
Further more, you indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe
that this transaction could be concluded within seven banking (7) working
days. You can reach me through this Telephone + 225 0739 1781.
I look forward to hearing from you
Thanks and God bless you.
Rayford & Vanessa.
