FROM BENSON AND LINDA MULOH
Dear One,
My name is Benson muloh and Linda, We are the children of Late General Anderson
Muloh the former Director of military inteligence and special acting General
Manager of the Sieria Leone Diamond mining coperation ( SLDMC ).
I am contacting you to seek your good assistance to transfer and invest
USD 13 million belonging to my late father which is deposited in a bank
in Abidjan the capital city of Cote D'Ivoire, formally none as Ivory Coast.
This money is a revenues from solid minirals and dimonds sale which were
under my fathers possession before the civil war broke out.
Following the break out of the war, almost all government offices, coperations
and parastatals were attacked and vandalized. The SLDMC was loothed and
burnt down to ashes,
and diamonds worth Billions of dollars was stolen by the rebel military
forces who attacked my fathers office.
Many top government officials and senior army officers were assasinated
and my father was a key target because of his very sensitive military possition
and appointment in the SLDMC.
Regreatably, my father was captured and murdered along with half brother
in cool blood during a mid-night rebel shoot-out when our official residence
in freetown was armbushed by Fordey Sanko the notorious rebel leader.
My mother sustainded very sever bullet injuries which resulted to her untimely
and painful death in a private hospital here in Ivory Coast. Now we are
alone in a totally strange country without parents, relatives or any body
to care for us at our tender ages.
Before our mother died, she told us that our father deposited some money
which he made from diamond sales and contracts at this bank here in Ivory
Coast and that we
should pray and find a trustworthy foreign business partner who would help
us to transfer and invest this money in profitable business venture overseas.
She told us to do this quickly so that we can leave Ivory Coast with our
cousin brother-Arthur who is here in the camp with us and, then settle down
abroad. She gave us the the bank document to prove the deposit and then
told us that my father used my name as the only son to deposit the money
in the bank.
She told us that this is the reason why we came to Ivory Coast. My mother
died afterwards. May her spirit rest in perfect peace I have gone to the
bank to make inquires about this money and I spoke with the Manager of International
remittance who assured me that everything is intact and promised to help
me transfer this money to my foreign partners bank account as soon as we
are ready and I provide my partners foreign bank account for them.
But the manager is very concerned because of my age. I am and as such advised
that I should look for a matured person that will represent me at the bank.
If you are willing to assist us, please let us know immediately so that
you will arrange the transfer of the money to your account with the bank.
Please note that I can offer you 25% of the total money as compensationfor
your noble assistance in accodiance with my mothers advise.
I am interested in any profitable commercial venture which you consider
very good in your country and you would also get a school for me, my little
sister and cousin so that we can finish our college education.
Please there is urgent need for the money to be transferred to your account
because of the political crises they are having in Cote d'Ivoire now. I
am hoping to hear your urgent response .
Thank you and may God bless you and your dear family.
yours sincerely
Benson and Linda
