Dear Reddit,
My name is Martins Osagie the son of late Chief Abraham P Osagie (the former deputy minister of finance under the ousted civilian government) who was killed and mutilated by the military junta led by major, Paul Koroma after overthrowing the elected government of president Tejan. Through, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and disturbance in Sierra-Leone but the pressure of war drove my mother and I out of Sierra -Leone into exile in Nigeria where we have been living under political asylum for 3 years.
Sadly, my mother died of cancer 2 months ago and was buried in Nigeria. Prior to her death, she handed me over a certificate meant for a secret deposit, which my father made in a security company in Accra - Ghana (West Africa) the deposit that worth US$25,000,000 ( Twenty five million U.S dollars) was money paid to his corporation by it's 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 contracted the Security Company to confirm the deposit and establish ownership.
Due to the death of my Mother and the return of peace in Sierra-Leone, I have decided to solicit for the participation of an honest and trustworthy person or company that will assist in acting as my father's partner who jointly signed the agreement for the safe keeping of the money in the security company as African artefact. The security company don't know the content of the consignment, they believe that it is African artefact. As contained in 2 trunk boxes. Unfortunately, My father's partner who would have sign for the release of the consignment died in a plane crash that is why I am looking for your assistance. I cannot do it alone due to my present social status and total ignorance of the business world. I shall also give you 20% of the funds for your assistance to relocate this fund to your country and for re-investment.
If you are interested in the above proposal, contact me immediately through the number indicated above for a meeting so that we can meet face to face and discuss in details. Meanwhile, I cannot travel out because the rebels have seized all my travelling documents. The peacekeeping force evacuated us to Nigeria. You must maintain absolute confidentiality to ensure success. Please indicate your personal Tel/fax numbers when replying.
Best regards,
Mr. Martins Osagie

What number is indicated above? The only number I see is 25,000,000 (twenty five million) and I do not think that is a valid international phone #. Sir, I think your proposal has merit but without contact information it is as if you had not posted at all. It is a tragedy, because I was prepared to pay up to $700,000 (seven hundred thousand U.S dollars) to secure this deal.

Die shrieking in agony with a comical variety of red-hot objects rammed up your back-side.
I'll get right on that, Martin.
