Subject: In Dire Need of Your Help!
Dear Friend,
I am ANDREW NDAZI, the first son of late chief JOSEPH OKOYE NDAZI,
from mende District in Sierra Leone.
I got your Contact through the world online network. My source of your
contact gave me the courage and Confidence to contact you about this
very delicate matter.
I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your
Assistance to transfer our cash of twenty One million eight hundred
thousand dollars ($21,800,000) now in the custody of a security and
trust company to your private account pending our arrival to your
country.
SOURCE OF THE MONEY:
My late father, Chief JOSEPH NDAZI, a native of mende district in the
Northern Province of Sierra Leone, was the general Manager of The
National Mining Co-operation (N.M.C.) Freetown.
According to my father:
This money was the income accrued from mining Co-operations over draft
And minor sales. Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels
forces of Major Paul Koroma and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace
keeping operation that almost destroyed my country, following the
forceful removal from power of the Civilian Elected President Ahmed
Tejan Kabbah by the rebels.
My father had already made arrangement for his family (my mother, my
Younger sister and myself) to be evacuated to a neighboring West
African country, with our personal effects and the box containing the
money. My father deposited the box in a private Security Company where
it was further freighted to Europe for safe custody until after the
war when he will join us.
During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate looting
of public and Government properties by the rebel forces, the mining
coop. was one of the targets looted and destroyed. My father including
other top Government functionaries were attacked and killed by the
rebels because of his relationship with the civilian Government of
Ahmed Tejan Kabbah.As a result of my father death, and with the news
of my uncles’ involvement in an air crash last May 2003 our hope of
survival was completely dashed.
The untimely deaths caused my mother heart failure and other related
Complications of which she has been suffering from all these years.
She died in the hospital just last month after we have spent a lot of
money on her. Now my younger sister and I (I am 26 and she is 23) are
alone in this strange country suffering without any care Or help.
Without any relatives, we are now like refugees and orphans. Our only
hope now is in you and the box deposited in the security company. We
can't go back to Sierra Leone even after peace have been restored
because We don't know what will happen to us as its the murderers that
are now in power. To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in
the following ways.
To assist me claim this box from the security company in Europe as a
Foreign partner/beneficiary.
To transfer this money in your name to your country.
To make a good arrangement for a joint business Investment on our
behalf in your country and you, the caretaker.
To secure a college for my younger sister and myself in your country
to further our education.
And to make arrangement for our travel with you to your country after
you have transferred this fund.
Most importantly, the security company officials do not know the exact
Content of the box because it was declared Documents, photographic
papers and valuables belonging to a foreign partner. The whole
documents issued to my late father after deposit are
all in my custody.
Please I am waiting for your urgent response on this matter as its
then I'll let you know me and my sister's location and the contact
details of the security company in Europe. Then also I will
furnish you with the document that you will require to receive the
consignments.
Thanks and God bless you
Best regards
ANDREW NDAZI (for the family).
