Dear CHOSEN PARTNER,
I know this proposal may come to you as a surprise
considering the fact that we have not had any formal
acquaintance before, but all the same I would want you
for the sake of God to give this an immediate
attention in view of the fact that the security of my
live and possession is at stake .
I am Mrs Sangare Richard from war ravaged SIERRA LEONE
but presently domiciled in Abidjan Ivory coast with my
two sons .My Husband Mr Richard who before his
untimely assassination by the rebels was the Director
of SIERRA LEONE Diamond corporation (LDC) .
He was killed in our government residential house
along side two of my other children ,two house maids
and one government attached security guard,
fortunately for I, and my two sons,we were on a week
end visit to our home town As we got the news of the
tragedy ,we immediately managed to ran into
neighbouring country IVORY COAST for refuge .
As we were coming into this country ,we had some
documents of a deposit of $3.5m USD (three million
Five hundred thousand united state dollars ) made by
my late Husband in a Security and trust company .
Following the content of my Husband,s which I saw it
reads that he intended to use this fund for his
international business transaction after his tenure in
office but was unfortunately murdered .I had located
the security company where the money is deposited with
the help of an attorney and stablished ownership.
Please right now ,with the bitter experiences we had
in our country,Coupled with the recent political
upheavals and hostilities in this country Ivory coast
,we desire seriously to leave here and live the rest
of our life into a more peaceful and politically
stable country like yours Hence this proposal and
request .We therefore wish you can help me in the
following regards.
1) To provide me with a good bank account to transfer
the money into.
2) To help me invest the money into a lucrative
business .
3) To assist my two sons get a college admission to
further their education.
Please I know that , this letter may sound strange and
incredible to you but the CNN and the BBC African
bulletin normally have it as their major news features
.Therefore for the sake of God and humanity give an
immediate positive consideration and reply to me via
my private e-mail address
(mrs_sangare_family@YOUBET.SWINDLER) or
call me with my number above.
I will willingly agree to any suitable percentage of
the money you will propose as your compensation for
your assistance with regards to the above .
Please in view of our sensitive refugee status and as
I am still conscious of my Husband's enemies .

approach .
