ATTN: THE PRESIDENT/CEO
Dear Sir,
I wish to solicit for your help in migrating to your country, and also for assistance with my family legacy.
Briefly, I am a Sierra Leonean National and the son of late Dr and Mrs. MAXWELL LAMINE. Until their death, my father was the General overseer of the Diamond Mine in Kanema, Sierra Leone. The military forces loyal to the Government of AHMED TIJAN KABBAH invaded our house and assassinated my father and killed my mother also. They, mistaking my father for his brother MIKE LAMINE who was the deputy to the leader of the RUF (Revolutionary United Front).
After this incident, I knew I was not safe in my country any longer, so I gathered some valuables in our family villa and escaped for my dear life in the company of my two junior ones to MALAWI
Among the valuables were two files that contained details of deposits my father made in a security firm in LONDON. He deposited 38.7 Million US dollars with the security firm stating that the money belongs to his foreign business partner who will come forward to claim it and that the fund was a joint venture business which they made from the sale of Gold and diamond during his time as the general overseer.
Since we are still in MALAWI and have verified the truth of the matter, we need your assistance to move this funds out of security firm to a more secured bank account for investment in your country. And also assist us get a buyer for the gold deposit. This is necessary since he has made it known to the security company that the consignments belonged to his foreign
business partners who will come forward to claim the money and the gold.
We kindly ask your good self to front yourself as the foreign beneficiary of the fund as indicated by my late father and also need your assistance to look for a honest buyer for the gold. We also ask you to assist us in sourcing for a viable and lucrative business so that we can invest wisely in your country.
We have it in mind to give you 20% of the total sum (38.7 Million US Dollars) and also from the sale of the gold, and 15% share in any investment we will embark upon in your country. We will also set aside 5% of the funds for ancillary expenses that you will incure in the course of this transaction.
Please this fortune we have revealed to you should remain confidential, as it is only you whom we have told about it.Please this information needs and deserves confidentiality between you and my family, considering the fact that our parents are no longer alive.
Please kindly get back to me on receipt of this message on Email:( odikpougo@myway.com ) for more briefing.
Thank you and remain blessed.
Best Regards
Mboma . LAMINE
