To: adamplato@yahoo.com Dearrest, I write to solicit your assistance for a transaction of mutual benefit; believing that you will treat this with utmost confidence. I implore you to excuse me of any embarrassment this letter might cause you, as we have not met before. I am Mr. tony Lamine from Sierra Leone. Before now l didn't have any problem, until l lost my parents and my two brothers two years ago. They were attacked by rebels on their way back from a visit. Only my father survived the attack, he had severe bullet wounds. He was rushed to the hospital where the bullets were removed after a surgical operation. My dad returned home after two weeks feeling well and okay. But two months later, my father became sick. His situation deteriorated so much that he couldn't carry on with his work anymore. One day, he told me to prepare myself that we have to travel to Ivory Coast, that he has to deposit some money (USD$16 000 000.00) in a Security Company in Ivory Coast for safe keeping. We then arranged for a quick travel. The money was arranged in a trunk box and shipped to Ivory Coast by diplomatic means. At the Security Company in Ivory Coast, my father deposited the trunk box as a bonded shipment and he declared it as family treasures. My father made me the beneficiary of the deposit. Not too long we returned from Ivory Coast, my father died. After the burial rights, my late father's brothers came to the house to inform me that my late father willed all his properties to them. With this stupid news they brought me, l decided to take them to court. Every time we go to court for hearing, the court ends up adjoining the case. The court ordered that nobody should touch the properties until the case is decided. And this is the second year running. I am at the moment living in Ivory Coast for the fear that my uncles can attempt to kill me. My father was a big time diamond dealer, he started having difficulties with bank transactions in respect of making deposits and receiving payments for diamonds purchased by his customers because of the United Nation's embargo on diamonds from West Africa at that time. Because of the problem my father started storing cash in the house. The problem l am faced with now, is how to get this money out of Ivory Coast to a stable country where l can have the money secured in a bank. The worst of all is that, l can not at this time declare the true content of the deposit to the Security Company since my late father did not declare it at the time of deposit. And with the rebel problem this country is faced with at the moment, l can be killed because of the money. So right now, l am looking for a foreign partner that can assist me in getting this money out of Ivory Coast to a safe country. If you can help me, l am ready to loan you up to 30% of the funds to assist you in you own business. If you would help, please call me on this confidential phone line: +225 07630346. To enable you get through when dialling the phone number, make sure you do not exclude any digit from the numbers. (225 is the country code), (07 is the area code, dial the 07 exactly the way it is, do not exclude the zero). For confidentiality sake, do not send me email, l do not wish to transact this on the internet. Please understand. I wait to hear from you, and l would wait for about two weeks to hear from you. If l do not hear from you within this period, l would believe that you are not ready to assist me. Therefore, l would look for somebody else. regards from toney.
