My Dearest ONE
This letter is writting out of my sincere desire to establish a partnership relation with you. I got your contactthrough the international trade and commerce.My name is Tetteh Rasheed the son of late Mr J.N.B.Tetteh(he was an experienced Banker with over 30 years experience. He worked both locally and overseas with Standard Chartered Bank in various Senior Management capacities and until his appointment at uniBank, was a consultant to Merchant Bank Ghana Limited and also with business conection with Ben S. Bernanke.
Mr;Ben S. Bernanke was a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Banks of Philadelphia (1987-89), Boston (1989-90), and New York (1990-91, 1994-96); and a member of the Academic Advisory Panel at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (1990-2002).(www.federalreserve.gov/bios/ - 3k )
My father was killed and mutilated by the military junta led by major, General Paul Korma after overthrowing the elected government of president Ahmed KabaTijan. The pressure of war drove my mother and I out of Sierra -Leone into exile in Ghana where we have been living under political asylum.
Sadly, my mother died of hypertension and was buried in Ghana. Before her death, she handed to me a certificate meant for a secret deposit, which my father made in a security company in Accra - Ghana (West Africa) the deposit that worth ( 10 )TEN million dollars).This was money paid to his corporation by its over seas partner who was working in the heat of the FEDERAL RESERVE SECTOR IN PHILADELPHIA. He made the deposit in his name with the hope of investing it at the of the war, but was killed when the conflict intensified as a result of his opposition to the rebel forces. I have contacted the Security Company to confirm the deposit and to establish ownership to me.
Due to the death of my Mother and the return of peace in Sierra-Leone, I have decided to look for the participation of an honest and trustworthy person or company that will assist me in investing the fund in his country if only the country is secured and good for investment .I can not invest in africa because of tomuch civil wars and crisis . The security company doesn't know the content of the consignment; they believe that it is African artifacts. As contained in trunk box. Unfortunately, I cannot do it alone due to my present social status and total ignorance of the business world. I shall also give you 20% of the funds for your assistance to relocate this fund to your country and for re-investment.
If you are interested in the above proposal, contact me immediately through my mail so that i fastly arrange for diplomat who will deliver the box to you ,before i my arrival . You must maintain absolute confidentiality to ensure success. Please indicate your personal phone/fax numbers when replying by mail.
Best regards ,
TETTEH RASHEED
GOD BLESS YOU
