This one was just in time for Christmas.

As usual, these jokers have made up a few names. Added a titel or two and even quoted “uklottery.co.uk” as the sending domain name.

Watch out for the telephone number. It’s rerouted to another number, which could be anywhere.

INVESTMENT PROPOSAL
ATTN;MD/CEO

In brief introduction, I am MRS PATRCIA ERAHUYI the wife of late chief MR PETER ERAHUYI, who was the director general Gold Mining Corporation of Sierra Leone (S.L.M.C) Freetown. The source of your contact gave me courage to write to you, I am writing you to seek your assistance to transfer our cash of ten million USD (10,000,000.00) and Gold dust now in the safe custody of a security company in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire to your private account pending.

According to my late husband the money was miscellaneous income from mining activities overdraft and minor sales, before the civil war between the rebel forces that almost destroyed my country, following the forceful removal of the democratically elected president AHMED TEJAN KABBAH by the rebels, my late husband had already made arrangements for me and my son PRINCE JOHN to be evacuated to Abidjan Cote d’ Ivoire with our personal effects, also directed us to here he deposited the trunk boxes containing the Gold and money in the custody of Security Company here in Abidjan for safe custody. Also he did not disclosed the real content of the boxes to the Security Company officials. he only deposited it as an African artworks for export to his foreign partner abroad for the Security of the Money and the gold. During the war my late husband tried to escape to join us here in Abidjan unfortunately he was attacked and killed by the rebels. My late husband was attacked and killed by the rebels because of his loyalty to the president.

Now I知 with my son PRINCE JOHN in Asylum camp here in Abidjan suffering without any care or help, without any relation, we are now like refugees, our only hope now relies on the boxes deposited in the Security Company by my late husband. To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the following ways.

( 1 ) To assist us claim the boxes from the Security Company as a co beneficiary/ foreign partner.
( 2 ) To transfer this money with your name to your destination account in abroad.
( 3 ) Make a good arrangement on how to invest wisely in abroad
( 4 ) To secure a good college for my son PRINCE JOHN to further his education.
( 5 ) To make arrangement for us to ravel with you to your country after you have transferred the money. Please be inform that all the necessary documents issued to my late husband at the day of deposit are in
our custody. For your assistance, I and my son PRINCE JOHN have decided to give you 20% of the Total money. Please feel free to contact us trough the above email address.

Thanks and God bless you for your anticipation.
Best regards,
MRS PATRICIA ERAHUYI & SON
