DEAR One,

IN NEED OF URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
I am Mrs FRANCA SIMBIAT, I got to know of you courtesy of International
Business Bureau in Abidjan (Ivory Coast) sequent to my zeal towards foreign
investment and also security for my life and my possession, I therefore
write to give you a break down of this proposal.

I am a citizen of Sierra-Leone and the wife of late Mr.FIDELIX SIMBIAT who
before his death was the manager of Sierra-Leone Gold and Diamond
Corporation (SGDC). I hope you are aware of the war going on in my country
for the past five years now. It was in one of the attack by the rebels that
led to the killing of my dear husband and two of my children leaving I and
my son DAVID SIMBIAT as the only survival because we went to a funeral when
we hear of the killing of my husband and the children we felt unsafe in the
country and we managed to enter Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire through a fisher man
who operate a fishing vessel
through and fro in a coastal river between Cote d'Ivoire and Sierra-Leone.
Please with us is (9.8,000,000.00) nine million eight hundred thousand
Dollars contained in one metallic box and presently deposited in a security
company as family valuables.

My aim of contacting you is to seek your able assistance as a front in
transferring this fund abroad in your account then as a business developer,
you also help us to wisely invest the money in areas you deem lucrative and
finally obtain a residential permit for us to stay comfortably there. Right
now the situation in my country has returned normal and I do not want to go
back.
Please for God sake be merciful to us and agree to help us transfer this
money into your account abroad.We agree to give you 10% to see this done
for us.We will send to you the proof of this transaction as soon as we
favourably hear from you and please we implore you to treat this
transaction all secrecy and confidentiality for security reasons.You can
