Dear respectful.
In appreciation of your esteemed contact received through the internet and
the choice of your country. I wish to introduce myself. My name is
Mr.HAMADOU, the Son of Mr. Terry Hamadou of Serra leone During the current
crisis my country my father was Kill by the Rebel Force.
My Father was one of the best foreigner farmers in the country and knowing
that he did not support the President political ideology, the president
supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt down everything, killed him
and confiscated all his investments. Before this unpleasant incident, my
mother and my late father had already visited Cote d'Ivoire(The Abidjan) to
deposit the sum of forty-five Million US Dollars (US$18,000,000.00) in a
Private Bank here in cote d'vioire. And it is not review to the Bank as a
money it was only deposited by my late father as a family valuable properity
Note i have the certificate of deposit in my custody. After the bloody
incident, we all had to escape to abidjan the capital of cote d'ivoire for
the safety of our lives. Where we have been living sincethen as political
refugee. I am seeking for a reliable foreigner who can assist us in moving
this funds out for safe banking and profitable investment.
Honestly I am telling you all this just because I don't want to invest this
funds in cote d'ivoire due to my status here as a political refugee and
moreover I don't want to take risk because this funds is all that I have
and my mother are depending on.My father was issued a certificate of deposit
when he deposited the funds with the bank and i have the document with me.
We are seriously looking for a trusted partner like you that will assist us
with the convenient and legal transfer of the fund to his onward account of
the funds out of africa. Your help will be appreciated with 25% of the total
fund while 5% of the total will be set aside to cover any expenses incurred
during this transaction. And 70% will be for my family. We will be happy if
you will be able to invest our share in your country under your supervision.
I would appreciate confidentiality and honesty in our correspondence.Your
immediate response will be highly welcome I hope to hear from you soon.
Please include your phone and fax number in your response for better
