Dear One,
Please I am James Koromba 19 yrs old, the only Son of late Mr.Dauda Koromba
from Sierra Leone.I got your contact from my search in internet.My sources
of your contact gave me the courage and confidence to rely on you. I am
writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance to
transfer our cash of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollar($7,500,000.00)now in the custody of a Bank here in Abidjan to your
private account pending our arrival to your country.
SOURCE OF THE MONEY
My late father, Mr.Dauda Koromba, a native of mende district in the Northern
province of Sierra Leone, was the general Manager of Sierra Leone mining
co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown. According to my father. This money was the
income accrued from mining co-operation's over draft and minor sales.Before
the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of major Paul Koroma and
the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost destroyed
my country, following the forceful removal from power of the Civilian
Elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels.My father had already
made arrangement for his family, my mother, my little sister and myself to
be evacuated to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire with our personal effects.My father
deposited the fund for the safe custody until after the war when he will
join us.
During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate looting of
public and Government properties by therebel forces, the sierra Leone mining
co-op was one of the targets looted and destroyed.My father including other
top Government functionaries were attacked and killed by the rebels in
November 2002 because of his relationship with the civilian Government of
Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. As a result of my father death,and with the news of my
uncles involvement in air crash in January, dashed our hope of survival. The
untimely deaths caused my mothers heart failure and other related
complications of which she later died in the hospital After we must have
spent a lot of money on her.
Now my younger sister and myself are alone in this strange country suffering
without any care or help. Without any relation, we are now like refugees and
orphans.Our only hope now is in the fund our father deposited in the BANK.
To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways.To
assist me claim this fund from the Bank as co-eneficiary.To transfer this
money in your name to your country.To make a good arrangement for a joint
business investment on our behalf in your country with you as the
caretaker.To secure a college for my little sister and my self in your
country to further our education. And to make arrangement for our travel to
your country after you have transferred this fund. Most importantly.
The whole documents issued after deposit is in my custody. For your
assistance, I beg to concede 10% of this money to you for your assistance.
Best regards
James Koromba and Sister
