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.
