Dear Beloved One,,
I am Samuel Kome and my mother is Mrs. Marlene Kome. My father, late Dr. Ekanga Kome who was a Former Cabinet Minister was killed when the R.U F rebels stormed our mansion in Freetown, during the ten years old civil war in our country, Sierra-Leone. That faithful day, my mother and I were lucky to escape the mayhem as we went to an evening church service. As we got the sad information, we immediately took refuge at the church. Then later, we were transferred by the U. N. evacuation team to the United Nations' refugee camp in Buduburam, near Accra, Ghana. West Africa. Where we have been till now.
My father was targeted and killed because his own father, being my grand father was the Sovereign King of the Northern Region of Sierra-Leone. As the King, all the gold and diamonds and other mineral resources are under his control. Therefore, the mining royalties are paid to our family through the King.
The influence of my grand father, the King made the President, Dr. Ahmed Tedjan Kabbah to appoint my father as the Federal Minister for Mineral Resources & Energy in Sierra-Leone. Because of this, the Rebels accused the King of using our family's wealth to support the Government. And vowed to revenge against our family. In view of this, in the midst of the catastrophe and war, the King went on exile to Dakar, Senegal. Where he later died. Immediately as the King left for exile, my father then moved our FAMILY INHERITANCE FUND totaling eighteen million United States dollars (US$18M) to Accra, Ghana. And deposited it as ''FAMILY VALUABLES’ in a Security Company on our behalf, Which the security company later lodged with the National Vault of BANK OF GHANA, owing to our long delay in claiming it.
So my reason of contacting you is to seek your interest as our FOREIGN BUSINESS PARTNER to receive the funds from us. As we want to move it out of Africa, and invest it abroad into a profitable business venture. If you accept our proposal to be our Foreign Partner, and invest the fund as a joint partnership with you. To fully compensate you, we shall give you 20% of our total funds USD18M Also we shall share equal at 50% for you and 50% for us, every profit generated from the investment Even now my mother is sick, suffering from diabetics/low-blood-pressure, which may lead her to having heart-attack. This the Doctors attributed to our long stay in the refugee camp.
Contact us immediately through E-mail:
Looking forward to your maximum co-operation.
Best Regards.
Samuel Kome
