Dear,

This letter might surprise you because; we have not met neither in
person nor by correspondence. But I believe it is one day that you get to

knowsomebody either in physical or through correspondence.

I am Adam Sango,I have a proposal to make, that might be of interest to
you. I am in possession of a large sum of money in(US$38,000,000.00)
Thirty Eight Million USDollars). The money was inherited from my late father

who was theChairman of the Sierra Leone Gold Mining Corporation during the

Sierra Leonian War when Major Johnny Paul Koromah was the country's president.

The money is of no criminal origin as it was largely realized from
black market sale of alluvial gold dust during the war.The money has been

lodged at a Security Company here in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast).I

now
want to move this money abroad and invest it in profitable ventures, as
the time is now ripe for such move.
WHAT I ASK YOU TO DO:

1.Firstly to assist me to export this money to any stable country
abroad.2. To assist me invest the money in profitable ventures in your country
or any other suitable country where you have good connections.
3. To help re-locate me and my small sister to the suggested country.
4. To manage the money in a profitable manner preferably a joint
venture deal with your company. For your assistance you will get 25% of
the
total amount.Upon your request, I will give you further details of the plans

and tell you more about my self but you must treat as highly confidential

for my security.

Sincere regards,
Adam Sango.
