Hello,
Before I proceed I let me introduce myself, I am Thomson Kudoh, 25 years of age, a Sierra leonean and the eldest son of his blessed memory late Dr. Alfred W.Kudoh. Before he had a motor accident where he and my mother lost their life, (may their gentle souls rest in perfect peace), he was a wealthy international businessman,(The C.E.O of A.W.KUDOH IMPORTS/EXPORTS LTD, A.W.KUDOH TRANSPORT SERVICES and A.W.KUDOH CONSTRUCTION COMPANY) etc in Sierra leone.
My father married two wives, my mother was the first wife, and she had only me for my father and my step mother had three children for my father. Since the death of my parent, my step mother has been looking for all means to kill me and claim all my father wealth, because she seems my parent wasn't alive. But so luckily for me, when I was in search of my father room, I found a document which my father used in depositing a consignment containing the sum of (US$15.5Million) in a Finance Company in Spain, using my name as the next of kin.
I am presently residing in Spain as a REFUGEE seeking asylum. Due to my status here as a REFUGEE and my inexperience in financial and business matters, I decided to reach you as a reliable and trustworthy person to assist claim this funds and invest it for me on a profitable business as your country is my final destination.
For your assistance, I will compensate you with 25% of the funds, 5% for any expenses you might spent on this transaction and the remaining 70% which you will invest on a profitable business for me as I stated before.
If this is accepted by you, I want you to reach me immediately with this Email: thom_kudoh@yahoo.es , so I can consult an Attorney to commence the change of ownership (i.e making you as the legal beneficiary to the funds), to enable you claim the funds from the Finance Company, pending my arrival to your country.
Note, this transaction will not in any affect your status in the society, because I have all the legal document binding this transaction. And I want you to keep this transaction secretly/confidentially, so that my life won't be in danger as we conclude this transaction and as I migrate to your country.
Awaiting your swift respnse, so we can proceed and conclude this transaction on time, because my way of living here is not used to me.
Stay blessed,
Thomson Kudoh.
