Dear Friend.
I am Mr Kingsley Dada Mbosowo the eldest son of Chife Nkroma Mbosowo from
Sierra
Leone. I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your
assistance to transfer our cash of Twenty five Million and five hundred
thousand Dollars ($25,500.000.00) now in the custody of a private
Security
trust firm in Europe. The money is in trunk boxes deposited and declared
as
Precious stones by my late father. As a matter of fact the company does
not know
the content as money, although my Father made them to understand that
the
boxes belongs to his foreign partner.
Source of the money:
My late Father Chief Nkroma Mbosowo is a native of Mende tribe in the
Northern province of Sierra Leone, was the General Manager of Sierra
Leone
Mining co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown . According to my Father this
money
was the income accrued from Mining Co-operation's over draft and minor
sales.
Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of Major
Paul Ngaga
and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost
destroyed
my country, following the forceful removal from power of the civilian
elected
President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels. My Father had already made
arrangement for his family to be evacuated to Ivory coast with the
CERTIFICATE
OF DEPOSIT he made with a security firm in Europe through the aid of
U.N
evacuation team.
During the war in my country and following the indiscriminate looting
of Public
and Government properties by the rebel forces, the Sierra Leone mining
coop.
Was one of the target looted and it was destroyed. My Father including
other
top Government functionaries were attacked and killed by the rebels in
November
2000 because of his relationship with the civilian Government of Ahmed
Tejan
Kabbah.
As a result of my fathers death and with the information we got that
the rebels
are out for us the burden became too much for me to handle coupled with
the ill
health of my mother she died in the process as I could not afford her a
decent
medical care. The unrest in Ivory Coast and the threat from the rebels
against
our lifes,made us to be evacuated to Spain last December where I
and my
family are seeking political asylum, we are at present in an asylum
camp in a
small village in (Spain). Our only hope now is in you and
the boxes
deposited in the Security Firm. To this effect,I humbly solicit your
assistance
in the followings ways.
1. to assist me claim this boxes from the security Firm as our Foreign
partner
2. to transfer this money (USD$25.5 M) in your name to your country
3. to make a good arrangement for a joint business investment on our
behalf in
your country and you, our Adviser/ Manager.
For your assistance, I have decided that 20% of the total amount will
be for
your effort and another 5 % to cover all the expenses that may incur
during the
business transaction, Last, I urge you to
keep this transaction strictly confidential as no one knows our where
about.
Please as you show your willingness, Forward to me your full name,
address and
Tel/ Fax numbers, to me via my private email, and I will get back to
you
immediately with more information?s and subsequently send you the
