Subject: Hello
Greeting's to You,Reply Us At (roseinnocent2008@yahoo.com)
My name is Rose and my Brother name Innocent we are the children of Late
General Micheal Obodo the former Director of millitary inteligence and
special acting General Manager of the Sieria Leone Diamond mining
coperation( SLDMC ). We are contacting you to seek your good assistance to
transfer and invest (USD 15 million)belonging to our late father which is
deposited in a bank here in Abidjan.
This money is revenues from solid minerals and diamonds sales which were
under my fathers possession before the civil war broke out. Following the
break out of the war, almost all government offices, coperations and
parastatals were attacked and vandalized.The SLDMC was loothed and burnt
down to ashes, and diamonds worth millions of dollars was stolen by the
rebel millitary forces who attacked our fathers office, many top government
officials and senior army officers were assasinated and our father was a key
target because of his very sensitive military possition and appointment in
the SLDMC. Regreatably, our father was captured and murdered along with his
brother in cool blood during a mid-night rebel shoot-out when our official
residence in freetown was armbushed by Fordey Sanko the notorious rebel
leader. Our mother sustainded very sever bullet injuries which resulted to
her untimely and painful death in a private hospital here in Ivory Coast.
Now we are alone in a totally strange country without parents, relatives or
any body to care for us at our tender ages. Before our mother died, she told
us that our father deposited some money which he made from diamond sales and
contracts in a bank here in Ivory Coast and that we should pray and find a
trust worthy foreign business partner who would help us to transfer and
invest this money in profitable business venture overseas.She told us to do
this quickly so that we can leave Ivory Coast and then settle down abroad.
She gave us the bank document to prove the deposit and then told us that our
father used my name as the only son to deposit the money in the bank. She
told us that this is the reason why we came to Ivory Coast. My mother died
after wards. May her spirit rest in perfect peace.
I have gone to the bank to make inquires about this money and I spoke with
the Manager of International remittance who assured me that everything is
intact and promised to help us transfer this money to my fathers foreign
partners bank account as soon as we provide our fathers partners foreign
bank account for them. However, the manager is very concerned because of our
age. I am 19 years why my younger sister is 16 years and as such advised
that we should look for a matured person that will represent me at the
bank.If you are willing to assist us, please let us know immediately so that
you will arrange the transfer of the money to your account with the bank.
Please note that we will offer you 15% of the total money as compensation
for your noble assistance in accordiance with my mothers advise. I am
interested in any profitable commercial venture which you consider very good
in your country and you would also get a school for me, my little sister so
that we can finish our college education. We are hoping to hear your urgent
response.
Thank you and may God bless you and your dear family.
Rose And Inncent.
