ATTN: THE DIRECTOR,
I am Mrs. Rose Mukaila, the wife of the former advisor on arm and
acquisition to the current President of Sierra Leone his Excellency, Ahmed
Kabbah. Following the civil war in my country, the head of state delegated
my husband to arrange for arm purchase from the Republic of South Africa
through Independent Arms Dealer, He was directed to purchase arms worth of
US$15.5(FIFTEEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS on
arrival in South Africa through diplomatic means, he deposited the money in
a private security company with the name of my first son (Hassan Mukaila)
and declared it to be official consignment belonging to his foreign partner.
On getting back home he was hijacked and killed by unknown people, I became
widow over-night, God so kind all the papers for deposition of this money to
the security company is with us, I did not waste time to run away with my
sons and daughter to Republic Of South Africa, on getting to South Africa,
we could not find it easy to bring the consignment out of the security
company, they demanded for our foreign affiliate /partner information, for
that we were looking for a reliable trustworthy person who can help us to
transfer this money to his / her private account overseas.
Though we have contacted a man from USA, named James Pier, he became
unnecessary greedy concerning his share, he demanded for 35%. Luckily, I ran
into your details from South African Chamber Of Commerce and Industry and
decided to contact you and see if you can be of any help to us. We intend to
give you 10% share of the total sum of the amount if you agree in
transferring this money into any of your accounts overseas. 90% of the total
sum will be for the familY's investment in any country of which you will be
guide to us.
Please should this meet your utmost consideration please contact my son
(Hassan Mukaila) through his e-mail; h_mukaila1445@yahoo.com or you can call
him on +27 83 734 0723, feel free to ask a question you consider necessary,
Please include your private telephone and fax number for easy communication.
I am 52 years old widow with 2 sons and daughter, my second son name is Atef
Mukaila and my only daughter is Tola Mukaila.
