Dear Friend,
It is with greate pleasure and honesty to get across to you for a very urgent and profitable business Investment proposal,
I am Mr Steve the Oldest son of late Mr.Ansar Mensah. My father while he was alive was a very successful precious Stone merchant & coco business man and also a very lovely father.
After the death of my father, the Government of Sierra Leone arrested my mother and my kid brother on the allegation that my father was a front man to the late dictators of Sierra Leone.
All my father's assets were confiscated, by the present government and during this injustice; my brother and my Mother were maltreated and tortured.From his trauma, my Mother fell sick and died during four (4) months.
During this incident, I went through my Father's document Files and I found out valid document (DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE)that covering lodged $12 800,000.00 (Twelve Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars) kept$ in finance security custody.
Until today My self and my younger sister has made several attempts to collect the funds from the security company but all our effort has proved abortive because my father before he died gave a standing instruction to the Then administrative manager of the Financial Institute that in case of his enventuality( he was suffering from Cancer of the Liver) under no Condition should this funds be released to us without Members of my family providing/presenting a reputable investor who will stand as our family investor and present a good investment plan before the money can be released to us.
Now with all the conditions of the Financial Institute as been placed by my late father, I would want you to front as my family investor so that we can successfully collect this funds ($12.8m)from the Financail institute.
After the collection of this funds, we can indeed go into a profitable investment that would be recommended by you otherwise we would all go separate ways if you want. In actual fact,we already have a Copy of the Certificate of Deposit in our possession and this we will use to perfect all necessary documents of claims to back up your claims that you are our investor for the past 5 years.
The whole procedures will last few working days to get the Box containing the money (US$12.8 Million) retrieved successfully.
Your response is only what we are waiting for as we have arranged all necessary things.
As soon as this message comes to you kindly get back to me indicating your interest,
For your assistance we shall agree on a percentage sharing when we've come into an agreement but i am willing to give you 15%. while 5% will cover any expense you and i may eventually incure in collection of the Fund.
Please for security reasons, all futher correspondence should be address to
(eldestmensah@netscape.net) only.
Thanks,
Yours Sincerely,
Mr Steve Mensah .
