From: Mrs. Dela Weah
Country: Liberia, West Africa.
Dear Sir
Compliments of the day.
First and foremost, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given a genuine approval considering the fact that we have not known each other before. Before i proceed, I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important transaction. However, this correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such.
Further i would wish to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you. I am Mrs. Dela Weah from Liberia, West Africa. I am writing to inform you of my desire to invest, and to buy a living house in your country. I am the Wife of Mr.Opong Weah, my Husband was a diamond/gold merchant before his death. His death was cause by gun short injuries he sustained in the hands of rebels on his way traveling out of my country with two of our Children due to the crisis that occurred in my country (Liberia) some years back. Unfortunately my daughter died on the spot while UN peace keepers rescued my husband and our son, he was taken to hospital for medical treatment, where he later died.
Before his death he revealed to me and our surviving son about a deposit he made with a security company in Ghana containing 55 kilos of raw gold and some cash as family treasures. My father did not disclose the content of the boxes to the security company to avoid the officials from raising eyebrows to the contents of the consignment.
Presently my son and I are in Ghana to notify the security company for the claims, and we are staying at the Bujumbura refugee camp. i am writing to seek for your assistance on how best and areas we can invest this fund in you country, knowing the fact that we have not been to your country before.
My husband strictly advised us before his death not to venture to invest this fund in Africa due to market instability coupled with economic and political instability facing African countries, considering all this fact and the high economic growth in your country was why we have opted to invest in your country.
For your mutual assistance in actualizing our objective, my son and I have agreed to offer you 25% of the total amount of the money. All the vital documents covering the deposit and the ownership are intact with our attorney, which will be sent to you on your notifying us of your willingness to assist.
Note we have in mind to establish a good business and friendly relationship with you in the nearest future if you are able to assist us. Please treat this matter with utmost confidentiality to yourself. Also i would want you to forward across to me your direct Tel/Fax number for discussion about this transaction. If you are unable to assist please be kind to notify me so that I can look for a suitable alternative.
Please accept my warm compliments, as I earnestly await your response.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Dela Weah.
For the entire family
- Mrs.Weah Dela
