Attn. Sir/Madam,
My name is Mercy Kone, 25 years from Sierra Leone. My father and I escaped
from our country at the heat of the civil war after loosing my mother and
two of my senior brothers in the war. As a result of the political
instability in my country even after the war, my father established his
coffee export business in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. He was in Buake, a northern
city to negotiate for the purchase of a coffee plantation when he was shot
and killed by the rebel troupes fighting to take over the government of the
country .The death of my father has now made me an orphan and thereby
exposing me to danger.
Before the unfortunate death, my late father had in his personal account
with a bank here the sum of$9 m. As a result of the present insecurity of
lives and property in this country, I wish request that you assist me use
your account in your country to transfer the balance of my father's account.
Again to assist me with a letter of invitation that will make me get a visa
to your country for residence inorder for me to continue my education and to
invest the fund in a viable business venture. I am willing to give you 12%
while 5% has been earmarked for expenses. If this is acceptable to you, send
me a mail through my regular e-mail account so that we can discuss further
on this matter.You can contact me on (missmercykone@yahoo.fr)
Miss Mercy Kone
