Subject: I look forward to hear from you soonest
Dear friend,
My name is MR. Steven Momoh, a Sierra Leonean residing in Burkina-Faso, West
Africa. You will be surprise to receive this mail from a total stranger
like me; anyway, I got your contact and decided to approach you for
assistance.
My father, the late Dr. Aboumane Momoh, was one of the prominent Diamond
dealers in my country Sierra Leone; he was also one of the paramount chiefs
in my town before He was murdered in cold blood early last year alongside
with my mother by the Rebels of R.U.F when they invaded the town.
When I got home from school to see the remains of my late father and other
family members, I discovered that my home had been burnt down and my parents
were both murdered by the Rebels of R.U.F that has been fighting against the
legitimate Government in my country since 1992. My late father deposited
the sum of (USD$15million) as a FAMILY TREASURE IN A TRUST COMPANY here in
Burkina-Faso, West Africa before his untimely death, this money was meant to
be used to build an ultral mordern medical Clinic here in Burkina-Faso for
me after I shall have completed my studies as a qualified Dorctor but
untimely death of my parentshave denied me this good opportunity.
Now, as the next of kin and the only child; i am to make the claim and the
ownership of the box containing the money although the people at the Trust
Company are not aware of the contents of the box, But I need a reliable
person outside Africa through whom I could move the money abroad and who
will subsequently help me to invest the money wisely while I go back to
school to complete my education.
Bear in mind that I would entrust this money in your hands if you would be
willing to help me in this matter. I am also willing to give you 25% of the
total sum if you will be willing to assist me in this matter. In addition, I
will equally deduct 5% after the transfer to cover expenses incurred in the
course of moving this money abroad to your account.
If you can assist, please get back to me promptly through my e-mail address
so that we can discuss the modalities of making this move. I will equally
insist that you make it a very private and confidential matter.
I look forward to hear from you soonest. my alternative email address
momoh26@yahoo.com
Kind Regards
Steven Momoh.
