Hello Dear,
I know this mail must have come to you as a surprise; but we sincerely ask for your assistance in this business transaction. My name is John Kumara Jim Fornah Jnr born 1980,From the Diamond Rich town of Mende western Freetown Sierra Leone west Africa I am the son of late Dr Jim Fornah, my late father held a lot of respected and envious position in the government of President Tejan Kabbah before his untimely death after a brief illness, He my Late father was the former bank governor of my country Sierra Leone, he was also the finance and Economic advicer to President Tejan Kabbah. Before the outbreak of the eight years Brutal civil war in my Country Sierra Leone, My late father sold our family land which was rich in diamond deposits to an American Mining company ,Because of the rebels brutality in my country, As the rebels were looting banks, finance houses and even breaking the national vaults.
My late father to safeguard the fund Hurried went to Accra Ghana and Deposited the Fund worth $32 Million United States Dollars In a Security company.
We are presently in Go moa Refugee camp Accra Ghana as refugees. On our arrival to Ghana my mother managed to locate the security firm to seek for the release of the funds in their custody based on the Documents we have.
The Director of the security company confirmed that they do have such Deposits with them based on the documents we presented to them, He went on to say Madam as you can see even from the agreement we can not release the Mettallic trunk box to you without the concept of your husbands foreign partner, this is why we contacted you so as to stand for us as my late father`s foreign partner and also our proxy man to get this metallic box out of the Security company and transfer the fund to your country for any good investment which you will recommend to us,We have resolved to give you 20% of the Total fund $32 Million united states Dollars as your compensation for helping us. What matters to us is trust, secrecy and confidentiality, as nobody else knows about this fund except My Sister, My mother, you and I now.
Even the Security company did not know the real content of the trunk metallic box because the content were declared/documented as artwork from the national museum.
We sincerely await your mail soon. Thanks
Yours Truly,
John Kumara Fornah.
