MRS.CHIECHIE
ABIDJAN COTE DIVOIRE
PLEASE CONTACT ME TRY MY SON TEL : 00225 0755 9188

LETTER OF ASSISTANCE

Dear ONE,

I am Mrs CHIECHIE, 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. KENZO DURU 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 ALFRED DURU 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 ($10,000,000.00) Ten million ,
United States 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 contact me through the email address for
more clarification.

May God bless you in abundance as you show mercy to
those that need mercy.

Thanks.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs CHIECHIE.

I heard about Africa being the email scam gods! Lol, I'd have deleted it without reading it, I don't read any spam. Not even "Britney Spears XXX Home Video" or "Most men are ashamed of their penis size..."

FOR GODS SAKE, I DON'T NEED VIAGRA!
