Subject: Urgent Assistance Needed
Hello,
I am LEO WILLIAN and my sister ROSEMARIE WILLIAN the children of H.R.H CHIEF WILLIAN of mende (blessed memory)the ex- king of mende tribe in Sierra-Leone. On the 19th May, 2002 our father was murdered by some rebel groups on the accusation that he is a great sponsor and in support to restore the democratically elected President of Alahji Tejan Kabba. Almost half of the palace was burnt.Fortunately I was not in the palace when they raided the palace my father married 2 wives with 10 children my mother , with 6 of my father's children where murdered in cold blood while my little sister escape the incident with bullet wounds on her right leg, at the moment where the remaining families are, I don't know. Rightnow, I am left alone with only one sister after the sudden assassination of my father the family has been displaced and totally disorganized left with nothing.
Early that year before the death of my father travelled to abidjan where he told the family that he deposited 18.5 million USD in a Bank in Abidjan Cote d'ivoire.Now, we are looking for a God fearing person who will assist us in transfering the money into his account. So I decided to go and search for the documents where my father used to keep them in his room, I discovered the documents covering the deposit he made with the Bank and
other documents for his business. I made arrangement and leave the country with my sister to abidjan Cote d'ivoire now.
We have gone and conform the deposit with the Bank with all the documents, all the documents are with me here. Now I wish to transfer these funds abroad and enter into a business venture as this country (Cote d'ivoire) is no longer in peace since September, 2002 the country has witness all sort of political unrest ranging from ethnic clash which resulted to killing of innocent citizens and strangers, people are now living in fears as the country is no longer that peaceful nation as it was before, due to this reason that I have decided to contact you, to assist me to transfered this money out of this country for the future of my younger sister and I.
As soon as you show your sincererity and interest, we are willing to offer you 30% of the total amount of the money to be transferred into your account as mentioned above for your assistance so far.
Waiting for your urgently
Thanks
Best regards.
WILLIAN LEO AND SISTER ROSEMARIE
