Dear,
I know that this mail will come to as a surprise  but please it was borne out
of a desparate need for assistance.

I am Sydney Taboh  the only son of  late  Mr. MALICK TABOH.  from Sierra
Leone.

I got your contact from the ECOWAS Infomation Center in Cote d'Ivoire. My
source of your contact gave me the courage and confidence to rely on you. I am
writting you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance to
transfer the amount of (EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS)($
8,500,000,00 US )now in the custody of a BANK here in Abidjan to your private
account .

SOURCE OF THE MONEY; My late father, Mr. MALICK TABOH. a native of mende
district  of Sierra Leone, was the general Manager of Sierra Leone Diamond
minning corporation (S.L.D.M.C.)Freetown.

According to my mother, This money was the income that accrued from minning
corporation's 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 operation 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 sister jane and myself to be evacuated to Abidjan, Cote
d'Ivoire.
My father deposited the fund for  safe custody until after the war when he
will join us.

But During the war in my country, indiscriminate looting of public and
Government properties by the rebel forces was rampant and the sierra Leone
minning co-op. was one of the targets looted and destroyed.My father including
other top Government functionaries were attacked and killed by the rebels
because of his relationship with the civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan
Kabbah.

The news of my father death, and my uncle,s involvement in an air crash  while
on a business trip to benin republic caused my mother heartfailure and other
related complications of which she later died in the hospital After we  have
spent a lot of money on her.

Now my 16-year-old sister and myself are alone in this strange country
suffering without any care or help;Without any relative, we are now like
refugees and orphans.  Before our mother died, she told us that our father
deposited some money which he made from diamond sales and contracts at this
bank here in Ivory Coast and that we should pray and find a trust worthy
foreign business partner who would help us to transfer and invest this money
in
profitable business venture overseas.

She told us to do this quickly so that we can leave Ivory Coast and, then
settle  down abroad. She gave us the bank document to prove the deposit and
then  told us that my father used my name as the beneficiary to the money in
the bank  in the event of his death. She told us that this is the reason why
we
came to Ivory Coast .

I have gone to the bank to make inquires about this money and I spoke  with
the Manager of International remittance who assured me that everything  is
intact and promised to help me transfer this money to my foreign  partners
bank
account as soon as I introduce my partner to them .

If you are willing to assist us, please let us know immediately so that you
will arrange the transfer of the money to your account with the  bank.

Our only hope now is in this  money our father deposited in the BANK. To this
effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways;

To assist me claim this fund from the BANK as a co-beneficiary.;

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 with you as the caretaker.

To secure a college for my little Sister and my self in your country to
further our education.And to make arrangement for our travel to your country
after you have transferred this fund. most importantly,The whole documents
issued after deposit is in my custody.

For your assistance, I beg to concede 15% of this money to you while 5% will
be set aside for ancillary expenses that may arise in the course of the
transaction.

I EAGERLY AWAITS YOUR REPLY.
BEST REGARDS
SYDNEY AND JANE TABOH.
