C/o ROCK OF AGES EVANGELICAL MINISTRY
ABIDJAN, REPUBLIC OF COTE-D'IVOIRE
WEST AFRICA.
Dear Guardian,
Our names are Kenneth and Juliet Williams we are the children of Late General
Alexander Williams the former Director of military inteligence and special
acting General Manager of the Sieria Leone Diamond mining coperation( SLDMC ).
I am contacting you to seek your good assistance to transfer and invest USD 18
million belonging to my late father which is deposited in a bank in Abidjan.
This money is revenues from solid minirals and dimonds sale which were under my
fathers possession before the civil war broke out.
Following the brake out of the war,almost all government offices, co-operations
and prostates were attacked and vandalized. The SLDMC was looted and burnt down
to ashes, and diamonds worth millions of dollars was stolen by the rebel
military forces who attacked my fathers office.
Many top government officials and senior army officers were assassinated and my
father was a key target because of his very sensitive military position and
appointment in the SLDMC. Regrettably, my father was captured and murdered
along with half brother in cool blood during a mid-night rebel shoot-out when
our official residence in Freetown was ambushed by Fordey Sanko the notorious
rebel leader. My mother sustained 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 at this bank here in Ivory Coast and that we should pray and find a
trustworthy 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 with our cousin brother-Arthur who is
here in the camp with us and, then settle down abroad. She gave us all the
bank documents to prove the deposit and then told us that my 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 afterwards. May her spirit
rest in perfect peace.
I have gone to the bank to make inquires about this money and I spoke with the
director of International remittance who assured me that the everything is
intact and promised to help me transfer this money to my foreign partners bank
account as soon as I provide my partners foreign bank account for them.
However, the director is very concerned because of my age, I am 21 years and as
such promised to help me and he would like to speak with my partner to ensure
that this money is invested wisely in only profitable business because of his
personal interest and sympathy for me.
Please note that I can only offer you 20% of the total money as compensation for
your noble assistance in accordance 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 and cousin so that we
can finish our college education. I shall give you more details when I receive
your urgent response.
Thanks, and God bless you, give you the wisdom to carry out this great deal.
Awaiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can discuss the modalities of
this transaction.
Thank you and may God bless you and your dear family.
Yours sincerely.
Kenneth and Juliet Williams.
