CONFIDENTIAL
Attn:
Dearest One

I am the only deughter of late former Director of finance,Chief Koroma.
A . Micheal Sierra-Leone diamond and mining corporation. I must confess
my agitation is real, and my words is my bond, in this proposal.

My late father diverted this fund acquired from the over influencing of
price of sales/purchasing of raw materials., now he has deposited the money
with an BANK in Abidjan BY FIXED DEPOSIT FORM, and he attached a strict
clause to the fund in racket(PAY AS RECEIVED), where I am residing under
political asylum.

Now the war in my country is over with the help of ECOMOG soldiers, the
present government of Sierra Leone has revoked the passport of all officers
who served under the former regime and now ask countries to expel such person
at the same time freeze their account and confiscate their asset, it is
on this note that I am contacting you, all I needed from you is to furnish
me with your bank particulars:

1) Account name
2) Account number
3) Bank address, telephone and fax number


For you to assist me transfer this money in your private bank account, the
said amount is $3.Million (three Million U.S. Dollars). I am compensating
you with 15% of the total money amount, now all my hope is banked on you
and I really wants to invest this money in your country, were their is stability
of Government, political and economic welfare. Honestly I want you to believe
that this transaction is real and never a joke.

My late father Chief Koroma gave me the photocopies of the certificate of
deposit issued to me by the bank on the date of deposit, and he called me
closer to his bed side before his call to glory(R.I.P)that i should pray
to God first, before contacting any foreigner and he warned me stricly that
i should avoid his brother with their greedy and evil mind since this is
the only legacy i inheriting from him. Please, this is for you to be clarified
because, I do not expose my self to any body I see, I believe that you are
able to keep this transaction secret for me because this money is the only
hope of my life, it is important.

Please email me immediately after you must have gone through my message
fill free and make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you 15 %
of the total money amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses you
might incure during this transaction including your telephone calls. N.B
Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip investment opportunities
which is risky free which I can invest with this money when it is transferred
to your account and you will be our guardian, personally I am interested
in estate management and hotel business, please advise me, email me back
immediately you receive this message for oreexplanation. And promise me
to be a father considering my situation and not to betray me.

Thanks and God bless
Best regards
Marina Koroma

NB: my late father used me the only deughter as the eneficiary / next of
kin on the day of deposit and also told me I need a foreign assistance of
a foreigner with a legitimate bank Account abroad who will stand as co-beneficiary
and partner abroad.

Please give me your telephone number for my pastor to speak to
