Subject: Urgent assistance from Daniel
Good day
I know that my e-mail would come to you by surprise coming from a total stranger but i want you to read this mail carefully so that you would understand the reason why i contacted you. I am hereby writing to seek for your help and assistance. My name is Daniel S. Tunde the only son of Late Dr Tunde an Ex Mine exploiter who inherited some gold and diamond fields from his Late father 203 KM from Freetown, the capital of our country Sierra-Leone, my father was also dealing on coffee and coco export with some of his business partners in Cote D'ivoire and Ghana. During the time of war in Sierra-Leone some group of people was looking for my father to kill him they even treating to burn our house one night when they came to our house looking for him but by the grace of God that day passed so my father then took My mother with four of us three brother and a sister and smuggled us into Cote D'ivoire were i am writing to you now, i was small but i can never forgot what happen that time.
Last two years my father (May his soul rest in peace) was poisoned to death by his business associates in one of their outings on a business trip, because he continue his coco and coffee business when we arrived Abidjan Cote D'ivoire. Since i was small i always notice that my father took me so special more than my junior once, and before he died last year March 2006 in a private hospital here in Abidjan were he was taking treatment, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has the sum of three million, two hundred thousand US dollars(US$3,200,000) left in a fixed/suspense account in one of the prime banks here in Abidjan, that he used my name as his first son for the next of kin in depositing the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates and that he is worried about me but it is the time he must tell me the truth, he said our Mum was not my real mother that she was my step mother he also sa
id that she loved my mother who was the first wife but she died during the time of my delivering in the hospital. I was confused i wanted to cry he said if i do that he will leave me without telling me what i have to do so i stopped, he continue telling me to wash the way my step mother treat me and the others i will understand that i am not safe that is why i must keep every thing secret for my self and that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose such as real estate management or hotel management to enable me secure my life, he gave me some papers and tell me is the paper for the money in the bank that i will send to you when i get your reply.
Two days later my father died, i was worried of all what he told me and after the burial, i stated seeing the truth, last year September when we were about to resume, my school fees was not paid meanwhile we have many shops and other investment, i asked Mumi and he said i was hidden something from her and if i do not tell her what i am hidden she will no more take care of me, it continue until a level that she started threatening to kill me and even refuse given me food. I was forced to run away from the house and went to a refugee camp here in Bengerville Abidjan were i am hidden now, because of the condition of life in the camp i decided to go to the bank to know if i can cash some money for my leaving but the director in the bank said i can not because i have not reach the age mention by my father in the document i insisted and was even crying because of my situation then he said the only thing he can do is for me to present one of my fathers business partners outside the country or a gua
rdian overseas to withdraw the money for me and that is why i decided to contact you because i want to leave this country for my step mother want to kill me so that he can give this money to her children.
I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
1) To provide a bank account into which this money would be transferred to.
2) To serve as a guardian or father business partner of this money since i will be only 19 years old 13 march next year
3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my studies and to secure a resident permit for me in your country.
I am willing to offer you 25% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/input after the successful transfer of this money into your account overseas and 5% for expenses for transfer. The director said if you contact them the transfer will not take more than a week. Waiting for your urgent reply so that i can present you to the bank and now give you their contact so that you can transfer the money for me in your country and take me to your country as i am really leaving here in fear, and for this reason please you have to keep this confidential because of my security. Kindly reply me through this email address for security reason: samueltunde011k@yahoo.fr
