Subject: URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL!!!
Name:Dan King Pedro.
E-mail:dankingjr@netscape.net
You may be surprised to receive this letter since you do not know me
personally. The purpose of my introduction is necessitated due my situation.I
am a ''victim of circumstance'' hence, I need your assistance if you
will.I am Dan King Pedro, the immediate junior brother of late Victor
King,a brave and dynamic young soldier who was killed by the Government
of my country. I got your contact through network on line hence decided
to write you. Before the death of my senior brother, he had taken me to
Accra-Ghana to deposite the sum of USD$12.5(Twelve million, Five hundred
thousand United State Dollars), in one of the private security company,
as he foresaw the looming danger in Sierra-Leone. This money was meant
for the procurements of arms and ammunitions.
The whole problem started when the combine efforts of the Nigerian lead
Ecomog and (UNAMSIL) United Nations Peacekeepers in Sierra-Leone overpowered
the rebels and thus reduced them to isolated pockets of resistance thereby
allowing for the re-instating of president Alhaji Ahmed Kabaar.The President
then ordered the execution of my senior brother and Twenty-Three others
for trying to overthrow His Government it is against this background that
my family and I fled Sierra-Leone for fear of our lives and is currently
Staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum. Meanwhile,
I have decided to transfer the money to a more reliable foreign account.
As the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any
bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction through out
Her territorial zone. Hence I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking
a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without
the knowledge of my Government back home that are bent on taking everything
we have got. The Government of Ghana seems to be playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of Ghana
for fear of going through the same experience in future, since both countries
have similar political history. As a businessman, I am seeking a partner
whom I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands. I must
let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist
me and my family, all I will like you to do for me is to make an arrangement
with the security/courier company to clear the consignment/funds from their
affiliate office here in The Netherlands as I have already gave directives
for the consignment/funds to be brought to The Netherlands from Ghana. But
before then all modality will have to be put in place like change of ownership
of the consignment/funds and more importantly this funds I intend to use
for investment
I have two opinions for you. Firstly, you can choose to have certain percentage
of the funds for nominating your account for this transaction. Or we can
go into partner for proper wise investment of the funds in your country.
Which ever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have already mapped
out 5% of this fund for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of
this transaction. If other wise, I am willing to give you 10% of the funds
while the remaining 85% will be used for my investment in your country.
Please, contact me with the above email address, while I implore you to
maintain absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
If you are interested,please reach me on this E-mail address:dankingjr@netscape.net
Thanks and God bless.
Yours faithfully,
Dan King Pedro.
