ASSYLUM CAMP
ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE
CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Friend,
I am Michael Tafa the only son of late former Director of finance,Chief
WILFRED TAFA,the former Sierra- Leonian diamond and mining corporation.
I must confess my agitation is real, and my words is
my bond, in this proposal. My late father diverted this money meant for
purchase of ammunition, for my country,
During the peak of disastrous civil war in my country, now he has deposited
the money with the Bank in Abidjan, where I am residing under political
assylum with my younger sister. Now the war in my country is over with the
help of ECOMOG soldiers, the present government of Sierra Leone has revoked
the passport of all officers who served under the former regime and now
ask countries to expel such person at the same time freeze their account
and confiscate their asset, it is on this note that I am contacting you,
all I needed from you to represent us at the bank as the foreign business
partner of my late father and receive the money for us in your account.
You will also arrange for me and my sister to come over to your country
once the money is transferred to your account for us to continue our
education.
For you to assist me transfer this money in your private bank account, the
said amount is (Ten Million Dollars) $10Million. I am compensating you with
15% of the total money amount, now all my hope is banked on you and I really
wants to invest this money in your country, were their is stability of
politics
and economic welfare.
My late father Chief Tafa gave me the photocopies of the certificate of
deposit issued to him by the BANK on the date of deposit, for you to be
clarify because, I do not expose myself to anybody I see, I believe that
you are able to keep this transaction secret for me because this money is
the hope of my life, it is important.
Please get to me immediately after you must have gone through my message
fill free and make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you 15 %
of the total money amount, and 5% in case of any other necessary expenses
you might incure during this transaction.
Try and negotiate for me some good investment which I can invest with this
money when it is transferred to your account. You will be the person to
manage the business because I dont have experience to manage it because
of my age.
Get to me back immediately you receive this message because we want the
money to be transferred quick to your account as there is problem of
politics
here and we fear for our life. And promise me, my younger sister, to be
a father considering our situation and not to betray us. My late father
used me the only son as the beneficiary / next of kin on the day of deposit
and also told me I need a foreign assistance of a foreigner with a
legitimate
bank Account abroad who will stand as co-beneficiary and partner abroad.
If you agree to help us, I will send the bank contact and Deposit Slip the
bank gave to my late father the day he deposited the money for you contact
the bank and arrange the transfer to your account.
Thanks and God bless
Best regards
