Subject: Hi
Attention please,
I Know This Letter May Beat Your Imagination As We Have No Previous Correspondence.
My Name is Mr Lirra James ASHI, the Dauther of a late sierra leonian businessman, late DR.COLEMAN ASHI, the owner of Coleman minining company (CMC)in Sierra-leone
Who died when the revolutionary united front rebels (R.U.F) attacked our residence in Makeni Sierra-leone.
Following the cease fire agreement which was reached last year with the help of United Nation peace keeping troops, I and my aged mother used the opportunity to leave the country with a very important document of my
father's precious (DIAMONDS) weighing 14.220 carats, 2.9kg which my father deposited in a security company in DAKAR-SENEGAL, which my name appears as the next of kin in the documments.
Now i and my mother are seeking asylum in DAKAR SENEGAL under United Nation's(UNHCR). I Contacted You Because Of The Need To Deal With
Person Whom My Family And I Have No Previous Personal Relationships. And I got Your Contact From the International chamber of commerce and i Confirmed Your Country as Being Economic Condusive For Investment And Her People As Transparent And Trust-worthy To Engage
In Business.
Hence My Reason For Writing You However,This Diamonds In Question Has Been In The Security Company Since My Father's Death. But My Main Problem Now is to move this diamonds out of Africa for the sales of it and to invest all the money generated from it's sales in your country with your full backing and international business knowledgebility as i have no business idea.
May I Use This Medium To Request You to assist me in transfering of this diamonds out of Africa to your country or any country which will be well convenient for business investment.
I and my mother Have Meet The Security Company With The Depositional Documents That My Father Left Behind, Of Which My Name Appears As The 'Next Of Kin', The Company awaits My Coming For The Withdrawal Of The Diamonds.
As soon as the diamonds have been transfered to your position, i will prepare immediately with my mother for our arrival to meet with you for the sales of the diamonds and for investing of the money generated from
it's sale in any profitable business you will intruduce, as we have decided to do away with Africa entirelly. I and my mother have agreed to let you have
(15%percent) of the total sales of the diamonds after the diamonds gets into your country through your assistance, and 5% will be mape out for any
miscellenous expences.
Best regards.
Mr Lirra James.
