Dear Sir,
I am well confident of your capability to assist me in a transaction for
mutual benefit of both parties, ie(me and you) I am also believing that you
will not expose or betray the trust and confidence I am about to establish
with you. I have decided to contact you with greatest delight and personal
respect.
Well, I am Henri Sesekus, Son to George Sesekus who was arrested by the
ECOMAOG PEACE KEEPING FORCE months ago in my country Sierra Leone. Few days
before the arrest of my father, he confided in me and ordered me to move to
Accra Capital City of Ghana West Africa where he deposited the sum of Twenty
two million United States Dollars in one of the bank here for onward
transfer to foreign account. This money was made from the sell of Gold and
Diamond by my mother and he have already decided to use this money for
future investment of the family. Thereafter, I rushed down to Ghana and
confirmed the deposit of the money by my father. Also, I have been granted
political stay as a Rfugee by the Government of Ghana.
Meanwhile, my father have instructed me to look for a trusted foreigner who
can assist me to move out this money from Ghana immediately for investment
.
Based on this , I solicit for your assistance to transfer this fund into
your Account, but I will
demand for the following requirement:
(1) Could you provide for me a safe Bank Account where this fund will be
transferred to in your country or another neaarby country where taxation
will not take great toll on the money?
(2) Could you be able to assist me to obtain my travelling papers after this
transfer to enable me
come over to meet you in your country for the investment of this money?
(3) Could you be able to introduce me to a profitable business venture that
would not require much technical expertise in your country where part of
this fund will be invested?
Please, all these requirements are urgently needed as it will enable me to
establish a stronger business relationship with you hence I will like you to
be the general overseer of the investment thereafter. I am a Christian and I
will please, want you to handle this transaction based on the trust I have
established on you. For your assistance in this transaction, I have decided
to offer you 12% percent commission of the total amount at the end of this
business. The security of this business is very important to me and as such,
I would like you to keep this business very confidential. I shall expect
your urgent reply.
Thank you and God bless you
Henri Sesekus
