Subject: Good day
Mrs.Alima Makoba
(C/o Eglise)
Liberte Sicap 1,
Dakar Senegal.
Good Day.
I know this mail will come to you as a surprise.
Nevertheless I am Akeem Makoba, aged 17
years, the son of Major Yusuf Makoba, Chief
Security Officer and Aide-de–camp to the exiled
president Charles Tailor of Liberia .
As a result of the on-going problem in our country, My mother
saddled with problems of her ill-health of protracted diabetes and high blood pressure which is getting of increase in the recent times, We are looking for a trust worthy individual abroad to receive the sum of US$6.2million on our behalf which we intend to invest in your country.
Due to this crises presently in my city Monrovia our home town, We managed to sneak out myself and my mother 59 years of age and my kid sister out of Monrovia to Dakar senegal for safety. We were sneaked into Dakar Senegal through the land boarder by the help of some government militant group.
After the killing of my Father by the rebels, we decided to come down here to Dakar senegal to secure the this deposit deposited here by my father and to further look for a trust worthy individual abroad to
receive these deposit which has being deposited here in Dakar Senegal before he was eventually killed by the heartless rebels.
I feel confident therefore to introduce myself to you based on this problem and our present condition as all our foreign contacts and connections got lost during this crises, all properties burnt by the rebels.
I am desperately in need to move and re-locate this huge deposit to your country for safe keeping as this is the only wealth remaining for the future survival and well being of my family.
For your percentage for assistance, a negotiable percentage will be discussed as soon as I receive your response based on this plea for your assistance as our lives are highly in danger due to this problem.
I pray and plead for your help. Please endavour to email me back for further clarifications over this issue.
God bless you as you respond to our plea for assistance.
Sincerely yours.
Akeem Makoba and Mother.
