IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE
FROM ROBERT SANKOH SON
From Rose Sankoh Mother

ATTN : THE MANAGING DIRECTOR
Sir,/Madam
It took me a long time to make up my mind to let you know
about this business
proposal I am to introduce to you. It is because I don't
want to throw away
golden
opportunity I have by involving the wrong person . I do
hope that you will
not let me down because this is something that will be of
mutual benefit
to both of us.
As indicated above, my name is MR Robert SANKOH son of the
rebel leader
FODAY F. SANKOH former chairman of A Sierra Leonine Gold
and Diamond Corporation).
My father was arrested by the present government of Mr.
TEJAN KABBAH for
planing to overthrew his g
overnment.
Though, I do not know to what extend you are familiar with
events and disturbances
in Sierra Leone.
However, during the disturbances and prior to my father's
arrest, he gave
me a certificate meant for a
secret deposit he made in a Security Company in Abidjan.
The deposit is worth $ 22,000,000 (Twenty two million US)
in cash and 250
kilos of raw gold concealed and declared as containing
family items . The
Security Company only know the content of one box . While
none of Security
Company officials is aware of t
he real
content of the second box.
According to my father, the said money was paid to the
corporation by it's
overseas customers in the heat of the disturbances and the
gold he made
it when he was the chairman. He made this deposit as
belonging to my father's
foreign partners with the hop
e of converting it to his family use at the end of the
conflict. But later,
he was arrested when the fracas intensified as a result of
the involvement
of the UN Peace Keeping force in Sierra Leone .
On the strength of the above, I fled to Abidjan with my
mother where I am
presently residing. However I have gone to the Security
Company to confirm
the deposit and inform them that my father's foreign
partner is coming to
claim the consignment.
Therefore, I solicit for your assistance (hoping that you
are honest and
trustworthy) in transferring the
money out of Africa for business world and also, look for
somebody who can
buy the gold for me. You will be compensated adequately for
your participationin
this transaction. if you are interested, I will highly
appreciate your physical
presence in Abidja
n for the following reasons :
1- To know each other very well
2- To sign agreement of trust
3- To see and confirm everything yourself.
4- To finalise modalities for successful transfer
of the money and gold.
For the propose of security and to guarantee hitch-free
transaction, as
soon as you receive this
message. You must maintain absolute confidentillity to
ensure success. Awaiting
your immediate response.
Best Regard,
Mr. Robert Sankoh
Rose Sankoh mother
