Subject: INVESTMENT
FROM : MR JOHN KABANI
TEL : 27-724-741-528
FAX:27-866-927-860
ANT : Sir/Madam
I know that you will be suprised to receive this
business proposal. First, I must introduce myself. I
am Mr John Kabani from the diamond-rich district of
Sierra Leone and my father, the former special advisor
to the recent Head of State Sierra Leone, major Johnny
Koroma.
During the war betweeen our forces led by Ex-head of
State, Major Johnny Koroma, and the west African
Allied Forces (Economog). At this point, the key
officers of the Administration started making frantic
efforts on how to leave Sierra Leone safely by sharing
the proceeds/money from this Diamond trade. In view of
the fact that my father was one of the key officers of
the then Administration and in-law to Major Johnny
Koroma, he succeeded in getting the sum of US$ 30
million (Thirty Million United States Dollars).
My father made arrangements and transferred the money
through Diplomatic means to South Africa where I am
presently living as an asylum seeker. Unfortunately,
my father died of a heart attack after a few months of
exile in South Africa. Automatically, I am now in
total possesion of the money as the next kin. Upon our
arrival in South Africa and after due consultation, my
father deposited the money with a private security
Company for security reasons as coded. The actual
contents were not disclosed to them ( Security
Company) his/her account outside South Africa as the
strict monetary laws here do not allow asylum seekers
certain financial rights
I will be most grateful if you can assist me to
accomplish this transaction and hopig that you will
remain trustworthy. For your efforts and assistance, I
have planned to give you 30% of the total sum while
5% will be set aside for all expenses incurred during
the transaction, and I will keep 65% for my investment
in your country. Please note that this transaction is
100% risk free for I have made solid arrangements for
the smooth conclusion of this transaction, as such the
only thing I ask is your assurance to transfer this
money with complete trust and honesty that my own
part of the money will be safe when transferred to
your account. I would also wish that you keep this
proposal highly confidential. If you are interested in
assisting me, send a fax or e-mail to me as soon as
possible with the numbers above.
Best regards and God bless
Mr John Kabani
