I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek for your assistance to transfer our cash of Twentyfive Million United Stated Dollar(25,000,000.00) now in the custody of the Security and trust Company here in Abidjan to your private account pending our arrival to your country.
SOURCES OF THE FUND
My late father, chief BAMBA Williams, 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 accrued from mining co-operation ovver draft and minor sales. Before the peace of the civil war between the rebel forces of Major Paul Korormah and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost destroyed my
country, following the forceful removal from power of the 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, Côte d'Ivoire with our personal effort and the box containing the money. My father deposited the box in a private security company here in Abidjan - Côte d'Ivoire for the safe custody until after the war when he will join us. During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate looking of the public and government properties by the rebels forces, the Sierra-Leone moning 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 1999 because of the relationship with the civilian president Ahmed Tejan Kabbah.
As a result of my father's death,
and with the news of my uncle involvment in air crash in januray, dashed our hope of survival. The untimly deaths caused our mother heart failure and other releated complications of which she later died in hospital after we must have spent a lot of money on her. Now, my sister and myself are alone in this strange country suffering without any care oF help.
Without any relation, we are now like refugees and orphans. Our only hope now is in you and the box deposited in a Security Company. To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the following ways.
To assist me claim this box from Security Company as co-benficiary.
To transfer this money in your name to your country To make good arranagement for a joint business invvestment on our behalf in your country and you, the careteker. To secure a college for my little sister and mysself in your country to further our education. And to make arrangement for our travel with you to your country after you have transferred this fund.Most important, the security company official do not know the exact content of the box because it was decleared as family valuables. The whole document issued after deposit is in my custody. For your assistance, I have concede 20% of the money to your efforts of assistance.
