Subject: i want to relocate into your country
Good day to you!
Please kindly pardon me for any inconvenience this letter may cost you because I know it may
come to you as a surprise since we'have no previous correspondence.
I got your contact when i was searching for a helping hand in your country this is why I decided
to appeal for your assistance because I'have no relatives in your country, my name is Ali Darami,
my father (late col.musa darami) was one of the Foday Sankoh Revolutional United Front (R.U.F)
of Sierra Leone in West Africa.
I'm writing for your assistance in helping me invest the sum of US$12,400.00 dollars into your country.
This money was deposited in a holding and delivering company here in Benin republic by my late father,
the suitcase was tagged (Family treasures) for security reasons and was realized from the sales of
diamonds when the Revolutional Movement United Front (R.U.F)conquered one of the diamond region
in my country by then my late father was the chief of the R.U.F in my region and the money was kept
under his custody for the purchase of Arms from Ukraine and since I am his oldest son he told me all
about the money.
However,just couple of weeks ago i left the refugee camp in Guinea republic and went to the holding
company's office and the managing director demanded i should look for a relative or a capable person
who can invest the funds for me in his or her country overseas because of my under age.
'presently i am 22yrs and i cannot wait until i get up to 30yrs before i relocate to your country for
education and investment because the war in my country left nothing for me to help myself,because
of this i'm requesting for your assistance to help me apply for the release and transfering of the funds
into your country.
i will come to meet you and adequately compensate you with ten(10)%percent of this money and five(5)
% percent for any expenses during the funds transfer before we discuss what type of investment will be
safe for us and let me know how much it would cost me to start my education and have a house of mine.
i will be most grateful to hear from you with promises of coporation before i give you more details about
the release and transfer of this funds, thank you for reading my letter.
my alternative email is ali_darami66@zwallet.com
keep this message to yourself simply for a security reason.
Sincerely Yours,
Ali Darami. PEACE
137 Zogbo Rd, Cotonou,
Benin Republic.
