Hello Dear,
I am John Kumara Jim Fornah born in 1981, from a Diamond Rich town of Mende western Freetown-Sierra Leone West Africa; I am the only son of the late Dr Jim Fornah, my father was the former Bank governor of my country, he was also the finance and Economic adviser 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 father to safeguard this fund hurried and went to Accra-Ghana and deposited the fund worth $32Million with a Security Company.
On our arrival to Accra-Ghana, I, my younger sister and my mother, unfortunately some weeks after our arrival to Ghana as refugees we lost our mother as she was having high blood pressure as a result of my late father sudden death.
On our arrival, i tried to locate the Security company through the help of some of the documents at our disposal we were able to locate the security/safety company to seek for the release of our fund 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 make it clear to us that they cannot release the trunk metallic box that holds this money to us based on the agreement the reached with my late father at the time of deposit, which states that a foreign partner will come for the deposited box, this is my main reason for contacting you, to stand in as my late father foreign business partner to release the trunk metallic and transfer it to your country for any lucrative business that will benefit our lives again, because I and my sister are the only people left in my family, We have resolved to give you 15% 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, I and you now, not even the Security company knows the real content of the trunk metallic box because the content were declared/documented as artwork from the national museum.
We hope you will consider our situation and come to our aid.
Yours Truly
John/Cynthia Fornah
