Sir/Madam: Requesting Please!
I am the surviving son of Gen. Akoh Banda, who was killed by Charles
Taylor; the immeidate past President of my country Liberia in West Africa,
presently exiled in Calabar, Nigeria.My father, as a Top Security Chief in
that
government, refused to purchase arms to arm rebels in the West African
sub-region, but moved and kept the funds realized from
the sales of Diamond abroad. He was killed by the President Taylors's
Presidential Killer Squad in a staged accident.
Presently, this sum of $45million dollars is being held by a firm
abroad. We flee Liberia after his death and that of my elder
brother.Presently, we
now live in Nigeria with my father's Nigerian Soldier friend that worked
with
ECOMOG(West African Peace Keeping Force
as then Called) in Liberia. Based on the terms of deposit, a foreigner is
needed to claim the funds and take 15% of the total funds for your
assistance, 5% formy family to enable us settle down and live well in
any part of the world we may choose, while the rest(80%) will be used to
set up foundationin the Mano River region of West Africa to cater for the
poor
masses/people displaced by wars and strifes caused by our greedy
leaders.
However, 80% will be well invested with the proceed(90%) utilized in
setting up the Foundation while you take 10% of the profit (after tax) for
your
contribution in overseeing and managing the investment. We MUST
consider countries with little/less tax for investment. This way we will be
returning the funds to the rightful owners: the people of the region whose
wealth
is looted by corrupt leaders daily. Turning the funds over to any
government will be giving the funds away to same group of crooked leaders. I
have
had to drop from the University due to this development and look forward to
going back to complete my law study. I await your favorable response to
this letter so that i supply you with all legal paperwork transfer ownership
of the funds to you to allow you claim the funds from abroad.
You should keep this transaction secret at all times.
Kind regards,
Omah Akoh Banda
