ATTN: Dearest,
I know this message will come to you as a surprise.
Compliment of the season I wish to solicit your helpin migrating to your country and investing my funds .Briefly, I am a Sierra Leonean National and the wife of late Dr SIMON WUMI. Until his death , my husband was the General overseer of the Diamond Mine in Kamena Sierra Leone . On April 6 2000 the military forces
loyal to the Government of AHMED TIJAN KABBAH invaded the diamond mine and assassinated my husband , mistaking him for his brother MICHAEL WUMI who is the deputy of the leader of the Revolutionary United Front ( RUF) FODAY SANKOH .When the news reached me, I hurried gathered some valuables in our family villa and escaped for my dear life in the company of my only son Dickson.
Among the valuable was a file that contained details of a deposit my husband made in a security company in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire . He deposited 25.5 million US dollars contained in 2
trunk boxes in the name of our son Dickson. As containing family valuables money he made from the sale of Gold and Diamonds during his time as the General overseer.
now that we are in Abidjan and verified the transaction, we need your assistance to move this funds out of Cote d’Ivoire for investment in your country as we cannot invest here due to its nearaess to our country and the war still going on there. We
ask you to scout for a viable and lucrative business, so that we can invest wisely. We have it in mind to give you 10% of the total sum( 25.5 million US Dollars ) , and 15% share in any investment we will embark upon if you assist us.
