Subject: URGENT ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir,
REQUEST FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE.
First, I may solicit your strictest confidence, this
is by it’s nature of being utterly confidential and
top secret. You were introduced to me from the Sierra-
Leonean chamber of commerce (Foreign Trade Division).
I am a Sierra-Leonean businessman. I was formally
into the importation and sale of medical equipment in
my native country, Sierra-Leone. My operational base
in Freetown, the capital city.
In Jan 1999, when the second civil war broke out in
my country, my office and warehouse burnt by the
Revolutionary United front Rebel, who invaded
Freetown. In that attack, they looted all my property
and assets. I was left with virtually nothing, except
some money I had in the bank. When the United Nation
sent in troops to quell the rebels onslaught and there
was a relative peace in Freetown, I returned to
business, but this time, I invested my resources in
the mining of Diamond which abounds in my country and
exported the diamond through the help of a third
party, some Lebanese who were very much versed in the
industry to Antwerp in Belgium. The returns I got from
this business was quite good and my life was gradually
picking up again until early this year when the
Sierra-Leonean government banned private exportation
of the diamond deposit also call on the united nation
to ban the sale of sierra-Leone an diamond emanating
from sierra-Leone. Following this action, the
government of my country clamped down on all
businessmen who had made fortunes selling diamond.
Consequently, my newly acquired properties were seized
again I had no option than to look for a good security
company to deposit my money right now I have
US$25,000,000.00(Twenty five million United state dollars
only) which is deposited in a private security company
in my neighboring country Ghana in a sealed and well secured metabolic
box. The content of the consignment was declared to
the security company as some gem stones and Artifacts
in order to make the business more confidential I
decided to remain in Ghana in order to make a
good contact with a foreign partner who will help me
finalize the deal if the consignment is transshipped
diplomatically to Madrid Spain.
If you are interested, I will change the ownership
status of the consignment to bear your name to enable
the security company arrange for it’s shipment abroad
and a memorandum of understanding will be drawn
between us regarding the sharing percentage and how
the funds will be invested in your country. For your
assistance in Spain and making sure that the business
ends successfully, you will be entitled to 20% of the
total funds. Please, I must
apologize for the inconveniences this may cause you.
Contact me immediately through my email address.
Best Regards.
MR.John Dokunu.
