ATT. CONFIDENTIAL Simon Campbell
we know very well that you will be surprise to receive this mail from a
total
stranger like me, please don't be offended it is my present condition that
waranted me to contact you. How are you, your family and business? we hope
everything is in particular.
I am stanly and my younger sister linda and the only children of the late
DR. JERRY MICHEAL of Free Town,Sierra Leone. I am a young boy of 19 years
and my younger sister is 15 our late father Dr.Jerry Micheal was the Managing
Director (MD) of a company in Ivory Coast During the time of his service
he was a very devoted and God fearing person; this cause his fellow staff
to hate him because he always refuse to collaborate with them in doing evil.
So one sunny Tuesday evening when we was coming back with our dad from shopping
in his own private car we ran into bandits who were totally armed they trace
us till we reach home,there they attack us, my father pleaded with them
to take everything he has and spare his life, they took everything and also
shot him three times on his chest they also shot me but to the glory of
God I survived the gun shots but my father died in cold blood. How I was
admitted in the hospital I don't know but I found myself on the hospital
bed after two weeks of the incident when I re-gain conciouse.
But why we contacted you is because we want to start a new life outside
Africa
and also when I went to the company where my father was working before his
untimely death in Cote d'Ivoire which is located in west side of Africa
they told me that my father's garantuite and all the money the company is
owning him about Euro5,200,000.00 is still remain unpaid, and that since
we are at a tender age that we should get somebody related to me who will
sign
an attestation letter on my behalf so that they can pay me the money through
him/her.
So as things is now we don't want to go and get any of my kinsmen as that
will also give them the access to claim the money as we can see that it
is
now the only thing God has for me to start life again. If we have found
favour
in your eye we will like you to come and sign the attestation and also give
them your account so that they can pay the money into it. While we will
prepare
to come over your country and meet you there to start a new life again.
While you are interested to help me for the claims of my late father's gratiuty,we
will like you to indicate so that we can send the contact address and officer
incharge of the company's payment bank.
Thanks and Remain bless,
stanly/linda
