Dear friend,
I know this letter may come to you as surprise but
due to a good recommendation from a good friend of mine that
works with ministry of chamber of commerce, mining and agriculture here
in
Germany on my research of a reliable and trusted partner overseas who
will assist me
for investment in his country,
although I did not disclose why I was looking for your contact as to
maintain secret.
I am the first son of late CJ SANKOH who was the
former chairman/CEO
Sierra Leone Diamond, Gold and Mining co-operation during the Allah
tijan
kabba's regime. And he was killed by the military juntas led by major
John
Paul Koroma the rebel leader, during the war in Sierra Leone. During his
stayed in the government, he was able to secured $30 million U.S Dollars
(cash) which he placed in a
metal trunk box and kept it in his underground vaults in our villa.
Before his death he called me and handed everything to me, that I
should make good use of this money for investment in abroad. And by then
my
mother has died as a result of heart attack when she was carrying a 6
months
pregnancy. After my fathers death I and my younger
brother managed to pushed this consignment i.e the money diplomatically
down
to Germany where we
seek your assistance/help. Now this money are on exile here in Germany

to serve any condition, please sir help us in the
name of God almighty the most merciful and most gracious.
I am contacting you for this neat transaction because of your
professional and your business background put you in a good position to
keep my confident intact with you.
All I want from you is to assist me in putting clainover this vault,
come

assisting me in this transaction, 10% has beenmapped out for
incidental/miscellaneous expanses that will be
incurred during the transfer while the balance will be for I and my
brother.

detoriating. Hopping to hear from you soonest.
