Subject: Hello Friend
Dear Friend,
With the good reference made of your esteeme Person/Offic by The
Charity organization volunteer...although I did not disclose my intentons of reaching you. I hereby wish to commence talks with you on a high confidential level. Before I start, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail since I did not seek your prior-consent before writing you.
I am Moyongo Diara(Sierra Leone/ West Africa) by Nationality and
presently staying with my younger brother and mother in a refugee camp here in Accra-Ghana. My father was a Paramount Chief of a rich diamond district during President Ahmed Tidjan Kabal. During the political instability in my country, my father was captured and killed by the Junta rebels who accused him of mis-appropriate of funds and embezzlement.
He was falsely accuseed. Shortly after my father's death, I and the
rest of the family escaped to Ghana for safety. However in Ghana, my mother showed me some documents indicating that my father kept $25 Million of U.S Dollars in a Finance/Security Company in London. At the moment, I and my mother are soliciting for your assistance to arrange an account in your name as our family friend to make way for the transfer and resettlement of this fund in a wise/politically stable economy like your country for a viable investment after we must have collected it from the Company. Your assistance is required because our status as refugees does not permit us to run an account, you will also be expected to provide us with information on investment opportunities in your country. We do not wish to contact any of my fathers business partner because we do not know who exactly caused his death.
My main reason of contacting you is for your co-operation. For you to assist the family in removing this Fund out of the finance home in your favor and ours as well. Moreover to help us use the Fund carefully for investment. All the necessary documents are at my reach. We confide in you as a trust-worthy person to act on good faith. Finally and most important, how will I be rest assured that you will act on good faith? since your particulars will appear
on every vital documents as the owner of the Fund. Kindly let me know
the mode of assistance you want to offer ,if in form of a contract or agreement? If so then let me know how many % you think that you deserve in this transaction. Please let me know so as to avoid any form of greed or getting ambitious. If the % you require is not ideal on my side then we re-negotiate or call it a day.please contact 233 244 52 41 84.yours sincerely,
Moyongo Diara
