This is another story set in the civil war in Sierra Leone. Of course, the “orphans” are now refugees in Senegal and have a pile of cash in the bank.
Ready for transfer!

Who before his death was the person managing the Sierra - Leone Gold and Diamond Corporation( SGDC).As a result of the political instability of Sierra-Leone, my late father came to Republic Of Dakar Senegal with the sum of Twenty Five Million United State Dollars (US$25 Million Us Dollars )
which he deposited in a Bank here in Republic of dakar senegal as a family treasure.
We are here seeking for an avenue to transfer this money to a reliable and trustworthy partner for investment programmes.
We are here as a refugee because of the political crisis in our Country Sierra Leone. Please we have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum of $25 Millionunited state dollars for your assistance.
For now, We have every information and document needed for the Collection of the deposit with the Bank and we want you to Act as the beneficiary of the deposit for easy and smooth collection to your account abroad for investment purposes.
Since our breadwinner is no more and this is the only hope we have for our future survival,Your positive response will give us the greatest joy and relief.

Anybody know what Mrss. means? It could be it’s a new title like Mister. Or maybe it’s just a spelling mistake.
Other than further spelling mistakes, it’s interesting to note the use of “Evangelist”. Here in Europe or the US titles like this are not used. Maybe in Africa it is used similarly to Reverend or Pastor. Whatever the case, using this title is designed to give the message a trustworthy note. The crux of the matter is the question “Would you give a stranger with a religious title more trust than someone without a title?”.

I am writing to seek your partnership in the investment of my inheritance fund USD ($25.5Million united states dollars only) from my late father who died mysteriously on 12 july 2006.
I will like to further introduce myself to you. My name is Angus Mathew., I am a 20 years old boy, the only child and son of my late parents Mr and Mrs Toure chuks. It was very evident that he was poisoned to death. I lost my mother when I was barely a year old and my father refused to re-marry another wife because he felt solely responsible for my mother’s death. This is so because he concentrated much on his businesses that he rarely pays attention to domestic affairs.
He was always travelling taking care of his businesses that he did not notice when my mother took ill. He thought it was a minor illness and was ignorant of this. My mother on her own resorted to self-medication. it was not until the illness degenerated that my father took my mother to hospital where she was diagnosed to find out that hypatitis had eaten deep into her blood stream. She didn’t last long before she died. This happened when I was barely a year old. Based on this, my father could not forgive himself easily because of it and said he was responsible for her death as he could have saved her if only he had paid attention to the things at home rather than concentrating much on his businesses.
Despite all entreaties by friends and relatives, he refused to remarry but ensured that I had everything that I wanted. It was as a result of this that he made me the next of kin to his fund deposit with the bank here in my country, I should have a direct access to the fund,only when I am 28 years of age otherwise, I should have a guardian/partner intercede on my behalf for the release of the fund to me. Unfortunately, he died on 12 july 2006 and I am 20 years of age currently.
This is why I have contacted you to serve as a guardian to me and as my foreign partner for the investment of my inheritance fund overseas My uncles does not know about the funds because they had already taken my father’s houses and other properties and they are looking for a way to kill me. They have requested to have my father’s file where all the documents that proof the existence of my inheritance fund in the bank where kept but I simply told them that I do not know where he kept them. The younger brother took the house in the village while the houses in the town were sold out they shared the proceed they got from the sale. Right now, I am in one of the guest house and do sincerely want to travel out of my country. This can only happen when I have secured the release and transfer of my inheritance funds in the bank. This why it is important that we have a plan on the type of lucrative business that we can invest the funds on.
I had a various times had discussions with the operation director of the bank where my father deposited the funds and I was assured that once, I have someone who would be willing to receive my inheritance on my behalf, they shall commence all proceedings to effect the transfer of my inheritance into the person’s designated bank account in his country for investment project. Now, that you have signified your interest to partner with me, it would only be very necessary if you contact the bank and request for the transfer of my inheritance fund into your account in your country for the purpose of investment and to further have me come over to your country to continue with my studies.
I shall be giving you the bank contact details as soon as I hear back from you so that you will go ahead and contact the bank.Talk to you the more. Please When replying me Reply me with this email
