Subject: I NEED YOUR HELP PLS.
Dear Trusted Friend,
Permit me to inform you of my sincere/genuine desire of going into mutual Investment Relationship with you.
Briefly introduction, I am Mr Ismael A. Abdullah, the first son of late Dr. Ahmed Abdullah, he was the Chairman/CEO of the Sierra-Leone National Gold & Diamond Mining Corporation during his days.
It is my pleasure communicating with you for the first time and
believing that it will lead to a better relationship between us. I also hope you will not impede this trust and confidence I repose in you.
I'm sending this letter to you from Abidjan in Cote d'Ivoire where I have an official refugee status with my mother after leaving our country due to an event that took place on February 2001 which led to the arrest and detention of my father and six other men after a face off with the Sierra-Leone government on allegation of subversive activities and treasonable offences which was nothing but a mere political persecution.
After five months in the military detention camp my father was
announced dead by the government special press release. Though I do not know to what extent you are familiar with the event and crisis in Sierra-Leone, however during the disturbance and prior to my father's death he gave me all the documents covering the secret deposit of the sum US$ 18 Million US Dollars (cash), he concealed in one trunk box/chest he deposited with a private storage security & trust company in Abidjan the capital of Ivory Coast. but the real content of the trunk box/chest was not disclosed to the security company officials rather he disguised the trunk box as containing family valuables and personal effect(for security reasons).
However I have gone to the security company to confirm the deposit and establish ownership, please I need your assistance urgently in moving this fund abroad for investment, when the fund is properly secured we will jointly invest in any business you consider profitable.
I will be glad for your resolved assistance, I will kindly appreciate if we can talk and emerge words with action. With all honesty to the stated data in my message, I assure you of the legitimate of this proposal. I will particularly be happy if you can handle this transaction in the most confidential manner since the rest of my life and future survival solely depends on this fund.
It is the fear of betrayal from anyone around us here that confirms my decision to contact a neutral individual like you, and I want you to educate me on investment potential in your country since I would not like to invest or declare this fund here openly on my name or in any of the African country, except otherwise.
I will not hesitate to give you 20% or negotiable of the total sum for your assistance.
So if you will be able to assist me, please do urgently
reply me for further clarification and confirmation and in order to stop further contacts.
Please send your response immediately you receive this massage through my private Email jwinpoe@walla.com for security reason, so I can give you more information.
Thank for your anticipated co-operation, May God bless you.
Your Sincerely,
Ismael Abdullah
