Subject: From KADET and JANET
Dear sir/Madame,
I know this proposal letter may come to you as a surprise considering the
fact that we have not had anyformal acquaintance before but all the same I
would want you for the sake of God to give this an immediate attention in
view of the fact that the security of our live and possession is at stake.
I am Mr KADET BANGURA a 24 years old from war ravaged SIERRA LEONE but
presently domiciled in LAGOS NIGERIA with my sister JANET who is 18 years
old.
My father Mr RICHARD BANGURA who before his untimely assassination by the
rebels was the Director of SIERRA LEONE Diamond corporation (SLDC).
He was killed in our government residential house along side two of my other
brothers,two house maids and one government attached security guard
fortunately for I and younger sister and mother ,we were on a week end visit
to our home town As we got the news of the tragedy.
We immediately managed to ran into neighbouring NIGERIA for refuge.But
unfortunately as fate would have it,we lost our dear mother (may soul rest
in peace) as a result of what the Doctor called cardiac arrest.
As we were coming into this country ,we had some documents of a deposit of $
11.700 000 USD(eleven million seven hundred thousand USD) made by my late
father in a security and trust company.
According to my father, he intended to use this fund for his international
business transaction after his tenure in office but was unfortunately
murdered .We had located the security company where the money is deposited
with the help of an attorney and established ownership please right now,with
the bitter experiences we had in our country and the war still going on
especially in diamond area which incidentally is where we hail from coupled
with the incessant political upheavals and hostilities in this country
NIGERIA,we desire seriously to leave here and live the rest of our life into
a more peaceful and politically stable country like yours Hence this
proposal and request.
We therefore wish you can help us in the following regards.
1) To provide us with a good bank account to transfer this fund.
2) To help us invest the money into a lucrative business.
3) To assist my sister Janet get a college admission to further her
education.
Please I know that,this letter may sound strange andincredible to you but
the CNN and the BBC African bulletin normally have it as their major news
features.
Therefore for the sake of God and humanity give an immediate positive
consideration and reply to
me via our e-mail address.
I will willingly agree to any suitable percentage of this fund you will
propose as your compensation for your assistance with regards to the above
please in view of our sensitive refugee status and as we are still conscious
of our father's enemies.
I would like you to give this a highly confidential approach.
Best Regards .
KADET and JANET
