I know you will be surprise to receive this proposal from me, mostly as it comes from a stranger, as we have not met face to face or seen each other before. Please be rest assured that it comes with the best intention.
I am PRINCE LUNGA AHMED, the first son of Mr. MOHAMMED LUNGA, the former MINISTER OF MINERAL RESOURCES in Sierra Leone under the regime of Major Paul Koroma. My father was incharge of all the fund raised from the sales of DIAMOND and other mineral resources in Sierra Leone. As you know, a bitter civil war erupted between the Armed Forces of Sierra Leone under Major Paul Koroma and the rebel who were backed by Forces of ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOMOG). As the war rage fierecely, and as it was apparent we were going to loose to the better prepared and well equiped forces of ECOMOG, the key Ministers of which my father was one of them decided to share the money made from the sales of Diamond trade.
This money was personally kept by my late father as our banking system has collapsed. My father thinking fast decided to move to Republic Of South Africa and deposited his own share, the sum of $25,000.000.00 (TWENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATED DOLLAR) in a Private Security Company. This money was deposited as "VALUABLE" to avoid demurrage. The Security Company do not know the content of the trunk box deposited as it was decleared as "VALUABLE".
But unfortunately, my father died of heart attach here in South Africa. But before he died, he had asked me to look for a trusthworthy and honest person who will help us invest this fund properly outside Africa as the region is full of wars.
Now, if you are interested to help me invest the money, please be prepared to come down to Republic Of South Africa, Johannesburg, On your arrival, you will open a non-resident bank account where the money will be transferred to your Overseas account within 2 working day. Immediately this fund is transferred in your present, both of us will leave for your country. Why we want you to help us is that we have just found out that the Laws of South African does not allow refugees financial rights.
If you agree to help me, l am prepared to give you 20% of the total money, 5% will be set aside for expenses we may incurr in the cause of this transaction, while 75% will be for me and my family investment in your country.
This transaction is 100% risk-free but needs high degree of Confidentiality. You may reach me through my email, fax or telephone.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Prince Lunga Ahmed
