Your Attention
I greet you with the love of humanity, which I believed is suppose to be in the heart of everyman including you. Let this message go down well with you and consider my request as opportunity to save my entire life and restore my dignity and personality.
My name is ALONZO KOBARHO, a young man of 24 years, from the Konor District of Sierra-Leone. I am the eldest son of my late father: His Royal Highness (Dr SOLATA KOBARHO) The Agbana of Konor The 11.My father was murdered in a cold-blood by the Revolutionary Armed Force that initiated the civil war and political unrest in my country .He was vitimised for advocating JUSTICE and EQUITY for every citizens.
He was killed along side with six other senior chief and other high ranking personal in the palace The painful thing that shook me is when the rebels stabbed our only girl born among my late father children to death. While my younger brother who was trying to rescue her was shot to death by one of the soldier. It was the grace of God that I managed to escape through the back small gate by the help of the security men. My mother and her last born of about 10 years who’s survived the attacked are also here with me in Accra, the Republic Of Ghana capital city .we all here for our own safety of life.
What a bitter experience in life! I am left with only a mother and my little brother at the stage of life. The only hope and treasure that might keep me living now is the physical cash of U.S$15 (Fifteen Millions U.S Dollars) and 252 kilogram of gold dust are in a separate metalic trunk boxes which my late father had deposited in a security company here in Accra Ghana before he died.
In his WILLS he has deposited the money and the precious items in my names as the first son who to succeed him, In the Wills he stated that, the fund should be used to take care of the family and the well being of the palace. Now, that the palace is burnt down during the up rising and the children were killed and scatter, our family attorney and the community elder men advised me to leave the country for abroad for security reason.
My beloved, now that I can no longer go back to my country for settlement, I decided to seek a foreign partner like you who will assist me relocate the boxes to his country for safe keeping and investment purpose. What I want you to do for me now is for you to stand as a foreign partner and received the boxes in your country when the shipping company delivers it to you.
I am ready to send you all documents that cover me as the owner of the funds and gold and in addition help in making any necessary assistance that you my require from me Please, these boxes is my life and my only hope, as soon as you received the boxes, keep it safe and send for me to come to your country so that we can all join hands together for investment that will bring profit to us so that we can keep our family in good order You can also reach me with me with this phone number +233-209134929 or you can mail my mother on this email misskobarho.com
