Dear Martin Jansen ,
I am writing with my personal respect with regards to your reposed
personality/firm as a reliable,trustworthy and God fearing. I got your
contact through an associate of my late father who was formally director
foreign afairs commision .
I am the first son of Mr. Jerry Momoh from Sierra Leone. I with two of my
younger brothers are presently on asylum in Ghana. Our father was the
minister for solid minerals under Johnny Paul Koromah's regime in Sierra
Leone. During the intervention of the ECOMOG Soldiers to restore the
presidency,of Alhaji Tejan KABBAH from Johnny Koromah, my father was among
the 23 executed Ministers . Hence our safety was not secure in Sierra leone.
I and my younger ones decided to move to Ghana a neighbouring West African
country for safety. After the burial of our father me and my younger ones
decided to move to Accra, Ghana in West Africa where our late father
deposited a consignment containing Twenty Five million,Four Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars (US $ 25,400.000.00) only.which was registered as a
family treasure, also to seek an asylum for our safety.
Therefore we decided to withdraw it and put to use and was disappointed as
it is against the human right law SECTION 22 OF THE REFUGEES ACT NO.130 OF
1998 that asylum seekers in the country do not have the right to operate a
bank account or to run an enterprise in the country, after much
consideration we arrive at a point that it will be of interest for us to
contact a foreign partner who we will trust and insure him or her the
beneficiary of this fund.
Due to our asylum status and based on our intent to liaise with you for
investment co-operation, we are soliciting that you should claim the
consignment deposited by our late father in a security company in
Accra-Ghana. The relevant document regarding the deposit made by our father
will be forwarded to you for your perusal once we receive your letter of
acceptance.We will engage a services of a lawyer to normalize your name with
the security company as the sole claimant.
Please if you are interested in the proposal for our co-operation,then you
should furnish me with your most private telephone and fax numbers. Also you
should endeavour to send your Address to enable the lawyer conclude the
paper works in your name at the security company as a sole claimant of the
consignment.
We are suggesting that we should be sharing the procceds from the investment
quaterly on the percentage that we should agree upon. Also, you are entitled
to advise us on investment catchment areas that is of high profit
orientation.
Your utmost trust, sincererity and Confidentiality is highly needed in this
transaction, because of our position, be free to ask question you consider
necessary and be kind to provide me with your private communication
facilities for smooth and confidential link, should this meet your utmost
consideration, please give me your earliest reply.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and understanding.
Yours Sincerely,
Edward Momoh.
