Dear Sir,

My name is jennifer kalla, 25 years from Sierra Leone. My father and I es=
caped
from our country at the heat of the civil war after loosing my mother and=

two of my senior brothers in the war. As a result of the political instab=
ility
in my country even after the war, my father established his cocoa and co=
ffee
export business in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. He was in Buake, a northern city=

to negotiate for the purchase of a cocoa plantation when he was shot and
killed by the rebel troupes fighting to take over the government of the
country on the 22nd September, 2002. The death of my father has now made
me an orphan and thereby exposing me to danger.

Before the unfortunate death, my late father had in his personal account
with a bank here the sum of $18.4m. As a result of the present insecurity=

of lives and property in this country, I wish request that you assist me
use your account in your country to transfer the balance of my father's
account. Again to assist me with a letter of invitation that will make me=

get a visa to your country for residence inorder for me to continue my ed=
ucation
and to invest the fund in a viable business venture. I am willing to give=

you 12% while 5% has been earmarked for expenses. If this is acceptable
to you, send me a mail through my regular e-mail account so that we can
discuss further on this matter.

jennifer kalla.
