Attention Please,
                  BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP SOLICITED
 
May I take the privilege to introduce myself; I am the son of Late Dr. John Karefa-Smart who was a renowned politician of the republic of Sierra Leone in West Africa. I presume you are aware when a group of rebel soldiers led by Sir. Foday Sankoh overthrew the Government of Sierra Leone forcing the President out of power and killing a number of ministers including some politicians.
After this political crisis, My Father went into exile for safety due to pursuance from the present government under the leadership of Alhaji Tijan Kabbah who sees my father as an opposition to his corrupt government. My father while in exile died, may his soul rest in peace? Before his death, he has in his possession a treasure containing a huge sum of US$15M  (Fifteen Million, United States Dollars). Which he entrusted to me as his next of kin.
However, when it became apparently obvious that the country was no longer safe for citizens due to political crises: massive killing and destruction of properties, I deposited the funds with a discrete Courier/Security company for further shipment and safe-keeping to Europe while I flee to Nigeria as a political refugee. The Courier/Security Company based on my recommendation on that note can only release the funds to you.
   
Meanwhile, I am soliciting for a reliable and trust worthy person who will serve as the guardian/investor of this fund, with whom I could plan the best way to invest funds into a profitable business. And this is why I decide to contact you with all hope that you will help me achieve this dream. To show my appreciation for your assistance in actualising this business with me, I shall give you 25% of the total money and 5% for miscellaneous expense while the remaining 70% belong to me, which I intend to re-invest into any profitable Business in your country.
Please, I need your entire support and co-operation for the success of the business venture, your utmost confidentially, sincerity and secrecy is highly required, due to my family's present predicament. Details of how I intend to carry out this project will be discussed as soon as I get a response of your willingness and interest. I sincerely will appreciate your urgent acknowledgment as soon as possible by contacting me on my Telephone number: +234 8037 210 251 or E-mail address.
 
Thank you.
Yours truly,
Mr. GREG KAREFA-SMART
