Dear Beloved,
This letter may come to you as a suprise based on the fact that I have not had any previous contact with you.Briefly,
I am Rita Daniel, son and heir to the late Dr Daniel, former director of Sierre Leone Gold and Diamond Corporation who was murdered by assailants believed to be working for his political enemies. Shortly before this unfortunate incident, my father had informed me about an important business deal he had executed with some of his colleagues in the office. He told me that he had diverted some money totaling Nine million US dollars (US$9M) which they had realized from the sale of gold and diamonds in the black market. He showed me some lodgement documents with which he had deposited the money encased in a trunck box with a security /safe deposit company here in Abidjan, Cote d Ivoire. He infromed me in confidence that the seciurity company is not aware of the exact contents of the box ; rather, he had told them that it contained Family Valuable that he had assembled for his overseas partner who would soon be coming to claim them for exportation. As a
result of this explanation, the box was accepted for safe-keeping by the security company without inspection.
When the political situation in Freetown, Sierre Leone worsened, I escaped into Abidjan, Cote d Ivoire and had since contacted the security company, identified myself properly and informed them about the sad fate my father had suffered. I presented the lodgement documents and they confirmed that they have the trunk box in their vault. So I informed them that I intend initiating contacts with my fathers overseas partner who owns the consignment so that he can come and take delivery of it.
My decision to retrive this box, transfer the money and start a new life forms the basis of this enquiry from you.1) Could you advise me on a good business proposition into which we can invest this money so that it would yield good dividends ? 2) Could you assist me obtain resident papers in your country so that I can continue my education there from where I stopped. If you can assist me on these 2 points above, I shall give you 30% of the total money while setting aside 5% for all incidental expenses that may arise in the course of actualising the transaction (such expenses as phone calls fax messages air tickets etc.)
I need not inform you that this matter is strictly confidential. I want you to treat it as such.
Your faithfuly,
Form Rita Daniel
