From: Mr Prince Paddy.
Goodday Sir,
12th August 2005. This letter was bound out of my desire to establish a business mutual relationship with you. I got your contact through the International Trade and Chamber of Commerce (ITCC) in Senigal Dakar. My name is Prince Paddy omokaro, the son of Chief Prince Micheal Omokaro( the former Deputy Minister of Finance under the austed Civilian Government), who was killed and mutilated by military junta led by major Paul Koroma, after over- throwing the elected Government of President Tijan Kabba in Congo .
I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and disturbances/civil war in congo. But by the pressure of the civil war, my mother and I escaped out of congo into exile in senigal dakar, where we have been living under political asylum for TWO years. Sadly, my mother died of cancer- three months ago and was buried in Senigal Dakar . Prior to her death, she handed me over some secriet deposit documents, which my father made in a Security Company in Senigal Dakar.
The deposit that is worth ($8.5 million Dollars) was money paid to his corporation by it's overseas customers in the heat of the conflict. He made the deposit in his name with the hope of converting the fund to his personal use at the end of the war but he was killed- when the conflict intensified as a result of his opposition to the rebel forces.
I have contacted the security company to confirm the deposit and establish ownership. Due to the death of my mother, and the prolonged return of peace in congo I have decided to solicit for the participation of an honest and trust worthy person or company, that will assist in the transfer and business re-investment of this money.
I cannot do it alone due to my present social status as an asylum seeker and my total ignorance of the business world. You will be given a negotiable percentage of the money at the end of transaction. If you are interested in the above proposal, please contact me immediately through my E-mail address indicated above for more details.
Contact Email Address paddyomokaro100@walla.com
You must maintain absolute confidence to ensure success. Thanks in anticipation of you favorable reply Please your fax and phone number is also needed for easy contact.
Yours faithfully.
Prince Paddy Omomkaro.
