Mr.Grey Smith Madrid Spain Email:Grey_smith@starspath.com Tel:34-670-545-282 Date:12/12/03 Dear Sir, This letter may come as a surprise because we have not met but was borne out of my sincere desire to establish a business/mutual relationship with you. I got your contact through the international trade and commerce chamber here in Madrid. My name is Mr. Grey Smith, the son of Mr Johnson Smith (the former assitance financial director of the sierra- Leone national mining corporation) who was killed and mutilated by the military junta led by Major, Paul Koroma after over-throwing the elected government of President Tijan Kabba. Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and disturbances in Sierra-Leone but it has a consistent features in the CNN, BBC news bulletins. The pressure of war drove the rest of our family out of Sierra-Leone into exile in Spain where we have been living under political asylum for 4 years. Sadly, my mother died of cancer 6 months ago and was buried in Madrid. Prior to her death, she handed me over a certificate meant for a secret deposit, which my father made in a security company in Madrid - Spain. The deposit which is worth $30,000.000 (Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars) was money paid to the mining corporation under him by its overseas customers in the heat of the conflict. He made the deposit in his name with the hope of converting it to his personal use at the end of the war but was killed when the conflict intensified as a result of his opposition to the rebel forces. I have contacted the Security Company to confirm the deposit and establish ownership. Due to the death of my mother and the continued hostility in Sierra-Leone, I have decided to solicit for the assistance of an honest and trustworthy person or company that will assist in the business re-investment of the money. I cannot do it alone due to my present social status and total ignorance of the business world. You will be given a negotiable percentage of the money at the end of the transaction. If you are honest, trustworthy and interested in the above proposal, contact me immediately through the numbers indicated above for more details. You must maintain absolute confidentiality to ensure success. Please, indicate your personal Tel./Fax nos. when replying . For security reasons, you can contact me either by phone or through my secured email address as indicated above. Best Regards, Mr. Grey Smith.
