FROM BILLY BIROS AND MARIA BIROS
AVE 3 RUE 7, GONZAC
ABIDJAN, REPUBLIC OF COTE-D'IVOIRE
WEST FRICA.
EMAIL:biros1@hotmail.com

Dearest One,

With due respect and heartful of tears we write this
letter to you. My name is Billy Biros and Maria Biros we
are the children of Late General Alexandre Birosthe former
Director of military inteligence and special acting
General Manager of the Sieria Leone Diamond mining
coperation( SLDMC ). I am contacting you to seek your good
assistance to transfer and invest (USD18.5 million)
belonging to my late father which is deposited in a bank
in Abidjan. This money is revenues from solid minirals and
dimonds sale which were under my fathers possession before
the civil war broke out.

Following the break out of the war, almost all government
offices, coperations and parastatals were attacked and
vandalized. The SLDMC was loothed and burnt down to ashes,
and diamonds worth millions of dollars was stolen by the
rebel military forces who attacked my fathers office.

Many top government officials and senior army officers
were assasinated and my father was a key target because of
his very sensitive military possition and appointment in
the SLDMC. Regreatably, my father was captured and
murdered along with half brother in cool blood during a
mid-night rebel shoot-out when our official residence in
freetown was armbushed by Fordey Sanko the notorious rebel
leader.

My mother sustainded very sever bullet injuries which
resulted to her untimely and painful death in a private
hospital here in Ivory Coast.

Now we are alone in a totally strange country without
parents, relatives or any body to care for us at our
tender ages.

Before our mother died, she told us that our father
deposited some money which he made from diamond sales and
contracts at this bank here in Ivory Coast and that we
should pray and find a trustworthy foreign business
partner who would help us to transfer and invest this
money in profitable business venture overseas.

She told us to do this quickly so that we can leave Ivory
Coast with our cousin brother-Arthur who is here in the
camp with us and, then settle down abroad. She gave us the
the bank document to prove the deposit and then told us
that my father used my name as the only son to deposit the
money in the bank. She told us that this is the reason why
we came to Ivory Coast.

My mother died afterwards. May her spirit rest in perfect
peace I have gone to the bank to make inquires about this
money and I spoke with the Manager of International
remittance who assured me that everything is intact and
promised to help me transfer this money to my foreign
partners bank account as soon as we are ready and I
provide my partners foreign bank account for them.

But the manager is very concerned because of my age. I am
20 years and as such advised that I should look for a
matured person that will represent me at the bank.

If you are willing to assist us, please let us know
immediately so that you will arrange the transfer of the
money to your account with the bank. Please note that I
can offer you 25% of the total money as compensation for
your noble assistance in accodiance with my mothers
advise. I am interested in any profitable commercial
venture which you consider very good in your country and
you would also get a school for me, my little sister and
cousin so that we can finish our college education.

Please there is urgent need for the money to be
transferred to your account because of the political
crises they are having in Cote d'Ivoire now. I am hoping
to hear your urgent response so that I can not look for
another foreign partner.

Thank you and may God bless you and your dear family.

Yours sincerely,
Billy and Maria Biros
On behalf of our late parents,

I keep getting "Question from Ebay member - reply immediately". Interesting, because I don't HAVE an Ebay account. Got one the other day that said, "Get me off this list NOW!"

Sorry, I can't post the content of these, because I never open them. I only see the subject lines and delete them.

Btw, there's some great paybacks on Nigerian scammers chronicled here:
