DEAR ONE
please I am Mr PASCAL KOUADIO, the only son of late chief GEORGE KOUADIO from Sierra Leone.I know that my message will come to you as a surprise to you but however, I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance to transfer our cash of ($16.5MILLION DOLLARS) now in the custody of a BANK here in Abidjan to your privateaccount pending our arrival to your country.
SOURCE OF THE MONEY
My late father, chief GEORGE KOUADIO, a native of mende district in the Northern province of Sierra Leone, was the general Manager of Sierra Leone mining co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown. According to my father. This money was the income acquired from mining co-operation's over draft and minor sales.
Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of major Paul Koroma and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost destroyed
my country, following the forceful removal from power ofthe Civilian Elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels. My father had already made arrangement for
his family, my mother, my little sister and myself to be evacuated to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire with our personal effects.
My father deposited the fund in the BANK until after the war when he will join us. During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate looting of public and Government properties by the rebel forces, the sierra Leone mining coop. Was one of the
targets looted and destroyed.
My father including other top Government functionaries Were attacked and killed by the rebels in November 2002 because of his relationship with the civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. As a result of my father death, and with the news of my uncles
involvement in air crash in January, dashed our hope of survival. The untimely deaths caused my mothers heart failure and other related complications of which she later died in the hospital After we must have spent a lot of money on her.
Now my little sister and myself are alone in this ,strange country suffering without any care or help. Without any relation, we are now like refugees and orphans. Our only hope now is in this fund which our father deposited in the BANK To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways. To assist me claim this fund
from the BANK as co-beneficiary. To transfer this money in your name to your country.
To make a good arrangement for a joint business investment on our behalf in your country and you being the caretaker.
To secure a college for my little sister and my self in your country to further our education. And to make arrangement for our travel to meet you face to face in your country after you have transferred this fund.
Most importantly. The whole documents issued after deposit are in my custody. For your assistance, I beg to concede 20% of this money to you for your efforts and assistance.
