Dear Sir/madam
This letter may come as a surprise to you but aftermuch
consideration to the good recommendation made concerning you, we
were left with no options than to contact with you. My name is Mr
Richard Attah Richmond first Son of Late Greg Richmond.
erstwhile governor of the central Bank of Sierra-Leone who
unfortunately was among the casualties of the political crisis,
which savaged the nation for the period of ten Years.Before his
untimely death (via execution by the government) he informed us
that while he was still the central bank Governor, he used his
influence and position to lift some boxes containing U.S$10M
out of the country, this he deposited with a certain Bank based
in ACCRA-GHANA. According to him, when depositing the boxes, he
declared to the management of the company that the contents were
his family valuables, this is to ensure the safety of the
funds.We have already arrived in Accra-Ghana because our country
has somehow become un-habitable for us, we decided to
solicit for assistance for the following reasons 1.To transfer
the funds in foreign account 2.Assist us to invest the
funds/recycling 3.Act as our partner and to also register all the
investments in your name 4.Help us to relocate to a more secured
place where we can continue with our academics. We will like to
know more about you and also discuss how you will be compensated
for your assistance. We will in due time forward to you the
documents covering the deposits for your perusal. As no one knows
our present location, we implore you to treat this with utmost
secrecy. You can get back to me with your fax and phone
number,for oral discussion. we anticipate your most urgent
response.
