Subject: STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

Dear sir,

Compliment of the season to you over there,i have a business proposal which i think might interest you. My names are Dr. Mark Okere, a medical doctor and the C.E.O of the Espace Medical Hospital St.Paul.I have a widow woman here in my clinic who is on a political assylum in my country Cote d!ivore.

She has been so ill for some couple of months now.This Woman confided in me based on the medical attention and assistance i have been given to her and her beloved children. She had revealed to me of her life history and about her late husband who was a top Military Officer in one of the West African nation (sierra-leone)before her late husband!s death during the Sierra-Leonean civil war and the fortune she inherited from her late husband.

She has asked me to source for a credible and trustworthy partner abroad who will manage her inherited funds for investment.Thesum of the said amounts is Sixty Million United States Dollars(US$60 MILLION) which she her late husband deposited in a safe Fiduciary Agent in Europe through a security company based in Abidjan. I wish to choose you for this venture and i strongely believe that you will be in the position to assist in managing this large sum in a profitable venture and also to help create a safe heaven ofr her and her children by making a residencial arrengement for them in your country. After she had disclosed this information to me,i saw the reason to request from her to allow me see the documents relating to the deposit of which she humbly did, now i have the necessary documents covering the deposit which i will not hesitate to provide you copies when ever it is needed as a prove for confirmation as soon as you reply this mail.

I am oblige to assist the widow lady knowing too well that she has a limited knowledge in the business world,and as such she can not manage the said funds herself here in Africa and in other to avoid any trace of her where about by the rulling Goverment of her country.

Infact,i will need from you a mutual understanding and we shall both make make plans on how the funds would be secured into an account in your name;after which you will arrange immediately to meet with the security company in Europe for clearing.The amount is contained in a sealed trunk box and it is regitered and declared as containing family treasures, so even as I am writing you now, the security company and it!s Agent did not aware that there is such huge sum of cash in the trunk. Now, let me assure you that this transaction is 100% hitch-free and risk-free.

From my discussion with her,she has agreed to give you a reasonable amounts of percentage for your involvement in the venture and it as to be disscused upon the recipt of your quick response.

Looking forward to a hear from you. Thanks for your cooperation

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Mark Okere
