Subject: I need ur reply
Dear Sir,
Since this is my first letter to you, it will be pertinent to first make myself known to you. My name is Johnson Kemokai. I am the first son of Chief Omoh Kemokai, the former Chairman of Sierra Leone Mining Corporation.
Unfortunately, my father was brutally murdered in 1999 by the RUF rebels led by Mr. Foday Sankoh-the monster who due to his selfish interest destroyed a nation and devastated the land because of the Diamond. This is a story that has to be imagined than to express because of the ugly memory and cost.
Since the demise of my father, we the entire family had been grieving and honestly it is very hard for us to trust people especially here in Africa. I had only confided in few close friends as we were in need of securing the wealth of my father. It was within these meditations that I decided to contact you as a reliable person and I hope to gain your sincerity, trustworthy and reliability in business. Honestly, I have not revealed to anyone exactly what I wanted or the amount of money involved.
Based on my search for a honest person I decided to write you first because this is my family's last hope of living comfortably as we do when my father was alive. Before my father passed away, he had already acquired a vast estate and a considerable wealth in Sierra Leone. My father deposited a box containing ($14.6 million USD) with a security company in Accra Ghana. When he deposited these box, my father purposely registered it as a official documents and precious item in order not to attract the attention of the security officers, and for safety reasons until he is ready to use it for investments.
Unfortunately, as an adage says "Man proposes but God dispose" my father could not live to achieve all his dreams. In his declaration, he used my name as the next of kin and a securty code was issued to him which he gave to me as his next of kin before he died. As the war broke out, we moved to a safer country. I am writing you now base looking for a way to remove the money from the security company to a reliable person overseas for a proper investment.
Based on this, I am seriously soliciting on your kind assistance to aid me on how to invest this money with you in your good country. When my beloved country was at war, I was still a student and I have little or no knowledge about business and this is one of the reasons why I need your help most. Please this is a family affair and because of my family name,it should be strictly between me and you. And for the safety of my family.
Have this in your mind that this business is 100% risk free, and nothing for you to worry about. My family has agreed to give you 30% of the total amount if you are ready to assist us in this transaction. I am waiting for your urgent reply , as soon as l hear from you, l will forward the contact address of the security company to you with other informations.
Thanks,
Johnson Kemokai
For the family
