Subject: We really need your help
Good day Sir/madam ,
I am Ben kalabi from Liberia , West Africa .I got your contact from a realiable sources,when we were looking for a honest and God fearing person,who will stand as our associates and business partner to my late father and our foreign beneficiary.
I write to inform you my desire to invest, and to buy a living house in your country, if only you can help me. I am 23years old and the first son of late chief Kone kalabi.my father before is death was a diamond merchant in my country. Due to the recent killings in my country. my father was shot by the rebels on his way traveling to Monrovia, along with my mother, my mother died on the spot while the UN peace keeping force rescued my father, he was rushed to hospital for medical treatment which he later died after three months. Before he died he revealed to me and my kid sister about the money which he kept in a metallic box ($10.6 million us dollars), and he deposited it with a security company in Ghana for safekeeping, My father did not disclose the content of the boxes to the officials of the security company, to avoid the officials from raising eye brows to the funds. Presently I and my kid sister are presently in Ghana to notify the security company for the claim and
to stay, but the Ghana people are not treating us fairly, and now we are staying in a refugee camp.
When we got to the security company, we where told that my father made an agreement with them, that they should not release the box to any of his family member without a foreign partner, that is why I and my kid sister are seeking for a God fearing and honest person.
we need you to advice us on how best we can invest this money, because my father told me that it is dangerous to invest this money in Africa to avoid suspicions, and due to market instability, coupled with economic and political instability facing Africa countries, that is why we want to invest in abroad.
For your mutual assistance, myself and my kid sister have agreed to offer you 10% of the total amount of the money and, 5% for any expenses. We have all the documents covering the deposit and the ownership, which I can send to you on your request.
Please this assistance is very easy if only you can help us with all hearted .
Yours faithfully,
Ben kalabi and Sister.
(For the entire family)
we awaits your time reply for help.
