Subject: YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE IS REQUIRED PLEASE.
Good day and compliments,
My name is Jerry Williams. Nationality, Sierra Leone. I am 24 years old
student. I lost my father years back. He died during the political crisis in
my country. My late father was one of the directors under President Tijan
Kabbah government. My mother is aged, she is 62 years now an old woman. Few
days before my father was assassinated, he instructed me and my mother to
move out of Sierra Leone immediately. I therefore managed to escape together
with my aged mother from Sierra Leone to Senegal through the help of my
father’s friend who is a diplomat.
We are living in refuges camp here in Dakar Senegal. It is my desire to
write from my heart hoping that you will not betray us. My father diverted
some huge amount of money which he deposited with a security firm in Dakar
Senegal here when he was alive, infact in a brief introduction. All the
information will be given to you when I
hear from you. This money totalling US$ 10,000,000.00 (Ten million United
States dollars) now we are seeking for a trusted person who will receive
this money into his/her account for onward investment. However, what we
needed from you is your good assistance in helping us transferring the said
sum to your account since we are
inexperienced in the world of business, that’s the reason why we are asking
for your support. All documents concerning the deposit may be given to you
for your verification. We really need to move the fund out of Africa to a
developed
nation for investment. We have decided to give you 30% of the total sum for
your kind assistance. The world is full of bad people please can you prove
your genueity to us for us to have you as a partner.
Sorry I am not saying you are bad person but consider that this is money and
how the money was gotten, it is inheritance and last hope to survive with.
Show us you're interested by sending mail on the below stated private Email
address to enable us proceed on the next step of action.

Our best regards,
Jerry Williams and mother
