Subject: URGENT,AND WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU
DEAR SIR,
My name is Mr. Sam Kemokai. I am the first son of Chief Omoh
Kemokai, the former Chairman of Sierra Leone Mining Corporation.
PURPOSE OF MY WRITTING YOU THIS LETTER.
MY FAMILY HAS US$33,000,000=00 ( US$33MILLION ) WHICH WE WANT TO INVEST INTO REAL ESTATE OR PURCHASE OF COTTAGES.
SOURCE OF THIS US$33MILLION .
My father who was the former Chairman of Sierra Leone Mining Corporation
was brutally murdered in 1999 by the RUF rebels led by Mr. Foday Sankoh-the monster who due to his selfish interest destroyed a nation and devastated the land because of the Diamond.
Before my father's death, he had already acquired a vast estate and a
considerable wealth in Sierra Leone. My father deposited two boxes containing Thirty Three Million US Dollars (US$33,000,000.00) with a security company.
When he deposited these boxes, my father purposely registered it as a precious item in order not to attract the attention of the security officers, and for safety reasons until he is ready to use it for investments.
Unfortunately, as an adage says "Man proposes but God dispose" my
father could not live to achieve all his dreams. In his declaration, he
used my name as the next of kin. As the war broke out, we moved to a
safer country. I am writing you now from my asylum base looking for a way to remove this us$33million out from the security company here to a reliable person overseas for a proper investment in real estate or purchase of cottages.
Based on this, I am seriously soliciting on your kind assistance to
help move this us$33million to your country for investment in real estate or purchase of cottage in your good country.
Have this in your mind that this business is 100% risk free, there is
nothing for you to worry about becuause this us$33million belongs to us.
Finally, My family has agreed to give you 20% of the total amount of us$33million if you are ready to assist us in moving this money into your country for investment in real estate and purchase of cottage.
I am waiting for your urgent reply only through owu_king@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Sam Kemokai
For the family
