confidential business transaction, which involves the transfer of a huge
sum of $16,000,000.0(Sisteen million US dollars) which was deposited in
a finance company,the former president( Tijan Kabah) gave him this money
for safe keeping when he got information that the militaries were planning
to over throw him(KABAH).Unfortunately,Our father was killed in that coup
detract, and I am the only person who has all the legal documents to claim
this money.
Our father gave me all the legal documents that covers this fund days before
his death. I was waiting for things to cool down before making my move but
the recent crisis in my country has forced me to make the move now, my sister's
health is failing and I need her to be taken care of properly.
Right now, the money is in a safe place.I am using this opportunity to seek
for your assistance to transfer this money into your country to be invested
on behalf of us. For this business to be concluded immediately, All you
need to do now is to forward to me your full name private telephone and
fax numbers so that I can call you and also send some legal documents for
your perusal
We don't have any business to cover-up, that is why we need your assistance.If
you agree to this proposal, we shall discuss on the parcentage and I will
also forward to you all the legal documents that covers this fund for confirmation.
I awaits your quick response .
