Mr.Silas Sambu
DANANI REFUGEE CAMP
C/O ROCK OF AGES EVANGELICAL MINISTRY
Accra,Ghana
Hello Please,
With the best compliments of the year, I wish to solicit your help in migrating
to your country and investing my funds.
I am a Sierra Leonean National and the only son of late Dr. SIMON SAMBU.
Until his death, my father was the General overseer of the Gold and Diamond
Mining Corporation in Kanema,Sierra Leone.
During the crisis the military forces loyal to the Government of AHMED TIJAN
KABBAH invaded the Diamond and Gold mine and assassinated my father, mistaking
him for his brother MR.MIKE SAMBU who is the deputy to the leader of the
Revolutionary United Front (RUF ) FODAY SANKOH. When the news reached me,
I hurriedly gathered some valuables in our family villa and escaped for my
dear life and left some other valuables since I was in a haste and lost some.
Among the valuables I collected was a file that contained details of a Deposit
in a Vault my father made in a security company in Europe.
He deposited US$8M (Eight Million U.S Dollars) contained in one box in my
name. He did not disclose the real contents of the Box to the Security Company.
He Declared the contents as Family Valuables for safety reasons. This is
the money he made from the sales of Gold and diamonds during his time as
the General overseer.
Now that I am in Accra,Ghana and verified the transaction, I need your assistance
to move this funds out of the security company for investment in your country
as I cannot invest here due to its nearness to our country and the insecurity
still going on there. I ask you to scout for a viable and lucrative business,
so that we can invest wisely. I will give you 10% of the total sum of (8
million US Dollars), and 12% share for you in any investment we will embark
upon with my share of 90% if you assist me.I will also set aside 5% of the
funds for ancillary expenses which you will make in course of this transaction.
This fortune of mine as bequeted to me by my father that I have revealed
to you should remain CONFIDENTIAL as it is only you who I have told about
it. Kindly indicate your interest and willingness to assist me on receipt
of this message for me to clarify you on how to proceed.
Note that this transaction is risk free.
May the shelter and care of God be upon you as you assist me.
Remain blessed.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr.Silas Sambu
