Greetings.
My name is Mfon Amana the eldest son of Rtd General Jeremaiah Amana, who was the estwhile external affair minister of Liberia,I am contacting you in a benevolent spirit; utmost confidence and trust to enable us provide a solution to a money transfer of $26M that is presently putting my entire family into great disarray.my father was the External Affairs Minister in the Government of the Liberia rebel leader .
At the mid term of the rebellion which is still on till date, my father thinking fast decided to send my younger brother and I out of Liberia because the fate of our country was yet to be decided. My brother and I left Liberia for Nigeria with a total sum of US$26M(Twenty-six Million US Dollars), sealed in a diplomatic baggage meant for the purchase of arms from Nigeria and europe. On arrival in Nigeria because we are political asylum seekers, we were not allowed to operate a bank account. So with the instruction of my father, I deposited the money with a security company. Though I did not reveal the content of the baggage to the security company nor did I declare the actual content to them, because we wanted to be on a safer side. I told them that the baggage belongs to my foreign affiliate who is the beneficiary of the item. Unfortunately, because of my father's political position and influence he was assassinated.
Since then, we have been looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to help us transfer this money into a foreign account overseas prior to investment in that country or any other conducive country overseas. But it has to be less tax demanding country. Luckily I ran into you address and other details and decided to contact you and see if you can be of any help to us. We intend to share this money (US$26Million) as follows:
1. 20% of the total sum goes to you if you assist us in transferring this money successfully into any of your overseas account.
2. 5% if the total sum will be set aside to offset all bills and expenses incurred in the process of this transaction.
3. 75% of the total sum will be for my brother and I for investment in any country of which you will be a guide to us. Please note that this transaction is 100% risk free on your side, as we have concluded all modalities to aid this transfer. Should this meet your utmost consideration, please give me your earliest reply through MY E-MAIL ADDRESS or PHONE NUMBER above. Be kind to provide me with your communication facilities for hitch-free and confidential link. Feel free to ask questions you consider necessary in this transaction. The confidentiality in this transaction cannot be over emphasized as I trust and believe that you will oblige us the needed security and attention it demands. Please treat this transaction with absolute confidentiality.
Respectfully summited.
Mfon Amana
