Dear Sir\madam,
I am Mr Albert Omen, I got to know of you courtesy of International
Business Bureau here in South Africa. Sequent to my zeal towards foreign
investment and also security for my life and my possession, I therefore
write to give you a Break-down of this proposal.
I was the personal confidant to the president of Sierra- Leone (ALH. TEJAN
KABBAH) who was formerly pushed out of office by a military coup carried out
by disgruntled soldiers. However, when these soldiers strucked His
Excellency was forced to run into Guinea Conakry on exile, some of his
closest aids left for some other countries. While these events took place I
decided to move to South Africa with my family and a treasure containing the
total sum of US $18.000.000 (eighty Million US Dollars) which was part of
the cash left under my control within the presidential mansion where I was
in charge of securities.
With the help of an South African farmer, I was able to move this money to
South Africa. On arrival here in South Africa, I immediately deposited the
treasure containing the fund into a private
Security Company for safe keeping, although the Security Company is not
aware of the contents as they were deposited as personal effects and
artefacts.
Right now the situation in my country has returned normal and I do not want
to go back. I am seeking for a partner who shall serve as the guardian of
this fund with whom I can plan the best way to move this money for
investment purposes which is my motive for contacting you to actualise the
project. You are required to assist in the following manners.
1) That you shall be required to provide a good Bank
account where the money could be transferred and where
taxation will not take much toll on the money.
2) That you shall serve as the general overseer and
guardian of this fund and all investment thereafter.
3) To assist in providing me and my immediate family a
permanent residential permit in your country after the
money must have been transferred to your account.
For these services a suitable will give you 30% out for you after you have
shown your willingness to assist. So if you are interested reply me on my
contact informations for further details.
Having stated the above clearly, I expect to receive your response soonest
as I do not intend to have this transaction delayed.
Please treat this as highly confidential.
Thank you and God Bless.
Yours Truly,
Mr.Albert Omen.
