POLIK GUEST HOUSE,
PLOT 801 COCDDY ABIDJAN
TEL 0022507856996
GREETINGS,
WITH DUE RESPECT, I PLEAD FOR YOUR PARDON AND UNDERSTANDING, HENCE WE DO
NOT KNOW EACH OTHER PHYSICALLY SAFE FROM THIS MAIL. PLEASE HEAR ME OUT FOR
THE SAKE OF GOD IF NOT FOR HUMANITY. AS I AM SENDING THIS MAIL TO YOU,I
KNOW THAT THEIR IS A PLAN FOR MY ELIMINATION BUT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS TO
ME;THAT SURELY THEY WILL GATHER AGAINST THE HOLY COVERNANT BUT THEIR GATHERING
WILL SURELY BE IN VAIN.
MY NAME IS ONWA WILLIAMS, I AM WRITING THIS MAIL TO YOU FROM ABIDJAN THE
CAPITAL CITY OF COTE D'IVOIR.MY LATE FATHER WAS THE FORMER OWNER AND MANAGING
DIRECTOR OF VICLIN VENTURES LTD ONE OF THE PROMINENT COMPANIES IN THE EXPORT
OF TIMBER AND COCOA IN MY COUNTRY HOME SIERRA LEONES. THIS COMPANY IS ALSO
PART OF A FAMILY INHERITANCE WHICH MY FATHER INHERITED FROM MY LATE GRAND
FATHER OWELLE SARIJ WILLIAMS.
I AM IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION AS HOW I SHOULD TRANSFER THE ONLY INHERITANCE
I INHERITED FROM MY LATE FATHER MR.JOHNSON WILLIAMS WHO PASSED AWAY ON THE
19 OF DECEMBER 2004,MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE. MY FATHER WAS KILLED
IN A FATAL MOTOR ACCIDENT WITH MY DEAR MUM ON THE EVE OF MY MOTHER'S 41
YEARS BIRTH DAY,THAT EVE WHICH NEVER DOWNED.
MY MOTHER WAS FOUND DEAD WHILE I WAS TAKEN TO MY FATHER BADLY WOUNDED IN
A PRIVATE HOSPITAL WARD,HE,MY FATHER TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD BE WISE AND CAREFUL
FROM THAT NIGHT BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT HE WILL NOT MAKE IT. BUT BEFORE HE
DIED HE CONFIDED IN ME ABOUT A DEPOSIT WHICH HE MADE WITH A BANK HERE IN
COTE D'IVOIR AND AS CHANCE MAY HAVE IT THE DOCUMENTS OF THIS DEPOSIT HAVE
NOT YET BEEN GIVEN TO MY FATHER' S LEGAL ATTORNEY.
FURTHERMORE,MY FATHER ADVICED ME THAT AS SOON AS HIS BURIAL IS OVER THAT
I SHOULD LIVE MY COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY AND MOVE TO COTE D'IVOIRE WHERE HE
DEPOSITED THIS MONEY AND I SHOULD SEEK FOR SOMEBODY OVERSEAS WHO WILL HELP
ME TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY AND CREAT AN AVENUE FOR THIS MONEY AS WELL. AT
THIS PERIOD ALL SEEMS TO ME LIKE A FICTION BUT NOW I KNOW THAT TRAGIDY NEVER
ALTERS FACTS BUT FACTS ALWAYS REMAIN WHEN ALL HOPES HAVE BEEN SHATTERED,NOW
THE BITTER FACT IS I HAVE NO BODY TO HELP ME TO STAND THE GRIM REALITIES
OF LIFE.
IT IS ON THIS NOTE THAT I HAVE CONTACTED YOU AND FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING
TOO IN THE TRANSFER OF THE MONEY LEFT FOR ME BY MY LATE FATHER. I HAVE TO
HIDE AWAY FROM MY UNCLE WHO HAS COLLIDED WITH MY FATHER's ATTORNEY AND CONFISCATED
ALL THAT MY FATHER OWNED, I CAN DO NOTHING BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL THE PAPERS.
I CAN'T MAKE THEM KNOW MY WHEREABOUT EITHER BECAUSE I KNOW NOW THAT MY FATHER
WAS RIGHT. PLEASE,WILL YOU BELIEVE ME,WILL YOU HELP ME TO KNOW HAPPINESS
ONCE MORE. THIS MONEY IS THE ONLY TANGIBLE THING I HAVE INHERITED FROM MY
LATE FATHER,I HAVE ALSO BEEN TO THE BANK WHERE THE BANK CONFIRMED ALL THE
DOCUMENTS IN MY POSSESION WITH ALL SINCERITY.
I NEED YOUR URGENT HELP BECAUSE THE BANK WILL NEVER ALLOW ME TO WITHDRAW
ANY MONEY FROM THE ACCOUNT BECAUSE IT IS IN A SECURITY FIX DEPOSIT ACCOUNT
FOR ONWARD TRANSFER COUPLED WITH THE AGREEMENT WHICH THEY ENTERED WITH MY
LATE FATHER. IN REGARDS TO THE ABOVE,I AM IN AN URGENT NEED TO HAVE THIS
MONEY TRANSFER AND FOR YOU TO ASSIST ME TO COME OVER TO YOUR COUNTRY AND
FAMILY SAFTY AS WELL.
THE TOTAL MONEY WHICH I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS FROM MY LATE FATHER IS $12.000.000.00
MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS.(TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS).PLEASE TELL ME HOW
MUCH YOU CAN TAKE FROM THIS MONEY AFTER THE TRANSFER THEN WE WILL INVEST
THE REST.
IT SHALL BE WELL WITH YOU.
I REMAIN DEVOTEDLY YOURS,
ONWA WILLIAMS
