From: "MANPO KAHO" <le_coman@yahoo.com>
Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2006 13:08:03 +1200
Subject: MR MANPO KAHO,
Greetings Sir,
Please may I use this medium to introduce myself to you? I am a
Sierra-Leonean nationality, my name is
Manpo Kaho the son of Late Prof. Joseph Ibrahim Kaho, my father has a
Diamond and Mining
Corporation in Sierra-Leone before the war finally broke out.
Since then things have never been the same and presently, I am seeking
refugee with my only sister
Mss Jeanny Kaho here in Ghana. I pray that my decision to contact you will
be given a genuine approval
considering the facts that we have not known each other before.
Before my father was killed he deposited some huge amount of money in Ghana
with a security company
in save box which was deposited as described to be containing Precious
Items and Personal Effect.
My father intentionally registered it with this code because of hijackers
and not to raise eyebrows, he only
disclose it to me that it is money.
As stated in my father's WILL, the money deposited is about thirty million
dollars
(USD$ 30.000.000.DOLLARS), including GOLD and DIAMOND, the Gold and the
Diamond worth about
USD10,000,000.00. I have worked out arrangements to get this box containing
the fund to be taken out
of Africa.
I need your assistance to receive the box in your country because my father
stated in his
WILL that I should not tamper with this money here in Africa for security
reasons, immediately the boxes
arrived in your country, you will meet the diplomatic officials and they
will deliver the boxes to you.
All the documents covering the legality of the money will be sent to you
following with a change of
ownership agreement from my father's name to your name as already been
arranged with my attorney.
As you can understand, presently we are seeking asylum under Ghana
government, we have been able
to work out the strategy to move this box out of Africa under legitimate
arrangement.
When the boxes get over to your country you will receive it as our trustee
and beneficiary.
I and my sister have worked out 25percent of the amount for you and your
family, 5percent kept aside
for any expenses you may incure during the process and the remaining
70%percent is what I and
my sister will invest and live with.
I want you to assured me of your reliability and trustworthy concerning
this business, I will be very grateful
if only you can help me out of this transaction of the whole thing. Because
I want this cash to be moved
to overseas for investment, on investment we will still rely on you asa
business expertise to recommend a
viable business that will be profitable in future.
Do e-maill me as soon as you receive this letter for any further
information that you need to know.
Kindly send me your private phone and fax number to enable me sends you the
legal document that is
covering the boxes. We are counting on you and looking forward to hearing
from you. Thanks and
God be with you.

Manpo Kaho.
