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 both here and in Europe. Then also 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).
