I must confess my agitation is real, and my words is my bond, in this proposal. My late father diverted this money meant for purchase of ammunition, for my country, during the peak of disastrous civil war in my country, now he has deposited the money with BANK here in Abidjan, where I am residing under political Assylum with my younger sister Tina Olive.
Now the war in my country is over with the help of ECOMOG soldiers,
the present government of Sierra Leone has revoked the passport of all officers who served under the former regime and now ask countries to expel such person at the same time freeze their account and confiscate their asset, it is on this note that I am contacting you, all I needed from you is to furnish me with your bank particulars,
1) Account name(2) Account number
3) Bank address, telephone and fax numbers
4) your private telephone /fax numbers
For you to assist me transfer this money in your private bank account,
the said amount is (US$26.000.000.00 Million). I am compensating
you with 15% of the total money amount,now all my hope is banked on you and I really wants to invest this money in your country, were their is stability of Government, political and economic welfare. Honestly I want you to believe that this transaction is real and
never a joke. My late father MR JOHN OLIVE gave me the deposit slip issued to him by the Bank on the date of deposit, for you to be clarify because, I do not expose my self to anybody I see, I believe that you are able to keep this transaction secret for me
because this money is the hope of my life, it is important. Please write me immediately after you must have gone through my message fill free and make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you 15% of the total money amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses you might incure, I am resolving to give you an addition

opportunities which is risky free which I can invest with this money
when it is transferred to your account, personally I am interested
in estate management and hotel business, please advise me. And promise me and my younger sister to be our guardianconsidering our situation and not to betray us.
And my late father used me the only son as the TRUSTEE/ next
