Subject: From Harrson Dickson
Dear respectiful,
I hope this mail meets you in good health and spirit. I am Harrson Dickson, a Sierra Leonean. Presently, I live as a refugee in Abidjan, Ivory Coast,West Africa, with my younger Brother,Benson. I am a victim of war and the Child of late Chief Dr.Alfred Dickson, the assassinated former assistant director of Sierra Leone gold and diamond mining corporation. My father was killed with other government officials during official hours when the rebel troops stormed and raided the mining corporation office at the heat of the crisis my country.
A few weeks later, the rebels also invaded our residential building in which my mother and two of our security men were killed in the compound while I was out for a special research program and my younger Brother was in the school. I had a singular shock and trauma, which compelled us to flee from the country to Ivory Coast by the help of an army colonel who, is a close friend of my late father.I have a first degree in marketing and would have furthered my education if not for the death of my parents. I have never worked to earn my living since my late parents had enough wealth for us.
I am contacting you now because of the present difficulty I am facing. Unfortunately, my father's two accounts in West Africa have recently been frozen. However, this did not affect the twelve million United States dollars (US$ 12,000,000), which he kept in the security vault of a vaults services company in Abidjan Cote d' Ivoire. For now I am having every information and document needed for the clearance of the money in the security company here in Abidjan and I want you to act as the beneficiary of the fund for easy and smooth Shift to your Country abroad for investment purposes. You will no doubt be adequately compensated with a part of this money for your personal use and benefit as well as a percentage of profit from investment of the fund. Also you will see to it that my sister and I come over to your country at the earliest possible time. I am making this request to you with tears in my eyes and I feel that God Almighty will touch you with his spirit to listen to
my cry for help and answer me without delay since our breadwinner is no more and this is the only hope for life. Your positive response will
give me the greatest joy and relief.
God bless you. Regards,
Harrson&Benson Dickson
