Subject: VERY URGENT!!!
Dear Sir,
I am Mr Musatapha Accounts supervisor with National
Bank,Freetown, Sierra Leone. I have urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you. On June 6,
1999, a Foreign Diamond consultant/contractor with the
Sierra Leonean National Diamond Corporation, Mr.Simon
Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve
calendar months, valued at SD$27,000,000.00,
(Twenty-Seven Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon
maturity, I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I
sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his
contract employers, the Sierra Leanean National
Diamond Corporation that Mr. Simon Kelly died from a
rebel attack. On further investigation, I found out
that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts
to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore
made further investigation and discovered that Mr.
Simon Kelly did not declare any kin or relations in
all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. This sum of USD$27,000,000.00
has carefully/confidentially been moved out of my bank
to a Finance security company in the Gambia for
safekeeping. No one can ever come forward to claim it.
According to Sierra Leonean Law, at the expiration of
8 (eight) years,the money will revert to the ownership
of the Sierra Leone Government if nobody applies to
claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I
want you as a Foreigner to stand in as the rightful
owner of the money. I deposited it in a security
company in two trunk boxes though the security company
does not know the contents of the boxes as I tagged
them to be photographic materials for export. In the
circumstance, I want to present you as the rightful
owner of the boxes in the security company so that you
can be able to claim them with the help of my
attorney. This is simple. I would like you to provide
immediately your full names and address as well as
your direct telephone and fax number so that the
Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which
will put you in the right place as the owner of the
boxes. The money will be moved out for us to your
country and share in the ratio of 80% for me and 20%
for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork
for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and
this will guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction on your behalf, please reply immediately
via my email address. Upon your response, I shall then
provide you with more details and relevant documents
that will help you understand the transaction and
swing into the necessary action while I confide in you
hoping you will not betray me at last.
Thanks and God bless
Mr Musatapha.
