SOURCE OF THE MONEY
My father late, Chief Richard williams, a native of Mende district in the
Northern Province of Sierra Leone, was the general Manager of Sierra Leone mining Corperation
(S.L.M.C.) Freetown. According to my Father, this money was the income accrued from mining
corporations over draft and minor sales. Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels
forces of major Paul Koroma and the combined forces of
ECOMOG peace-keeping force that almost destroyed my country, following the forceful removal from
power of the Civilian Elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by
the rebels. My father had already made arrangement for his family, my mother,
my little sister and myself to be evacuated to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire with our
personal effects.
My father deposited the fund for the safe custody until after the war when he will join us. During
the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate looting
of public and Government properties by the rebel forces, the Sierra Leone mining coperation Was one
of the targets looted and destroyed.
My father including other top Government functionaries were attacked and killed
by the rebels in November 2004 because of his good relationship
with the civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. As a result of my father
death, and with the news of my Uncles involvement in air crash in January,
dashed our hope of survival. The untimely deaths caused my mothers heart
failure and other related complications of which she later died in the hospital
here after several months she suffered after we must have spent a lot of money
on her. Now my 19-year-old sister and I are alone in this strange country
suffering without any care or help.
Without any relation, we are now like refugees and Orphans. Our only hope now
is on this money our father deposited in the BANK in my favour
as next of kin. I have visited the bank with all the related vital deposit
papers and it was approved by the bank. I humbly solicit for your assistance in
the followings ways. To assist me to transfer this money to your bank account as my late father's
business associate.
-To transfer this money in your name to your country
-To make a good arrangement for a joint business investment on our
behalf in your country and you as the caretaker.
-To arrange for residence visa and for me and little sister to further
our education.
-And to make arrangement for our travel with you to your country after our
money transferred into your account. The whole deposit documents issued the
bank, issued to my late father is in my custody. For your
assistance, I and my sick sister were offering you 20% of this money to you for
your assistance.
Please call me as soon as you receive this mail. I am anxiously waiting
for your call.
Best regards
david williams.
