Good Day,
We are corporate & investment Consultants acting as solicitors for one Dr.
Avril Cummings, former commissioner for Income Tax of Republic of Sierra
Leone. My client is presently residing in Accra, Ghana as a refugee due to
political and legal problems he is having with the government of Sierra
Leone underPresident Tejan Kabbah.
My client was falsely accused of fraud and subsequently the Anti-Corruption
Commission (ACC) headed by Commissioner Val T. Collier slapped a phony
corruption charges on him and an arrest warrant was issued on him. My client
is a man of affluence, no doubt about that. He had acquired enormous wealth,
no doubt about that. But his wealth was not acquired illegally neither had
he solicited, accepted or taken any illegal advantage as falsely accused by
the Anti-Corruption Commission.
As fate would have it, my client was fortunate to escape from Sierra Leone
and now resides as a refugee in Ghana. His enemies who traced where he was
residing as a refugee here in Ghana due to later killed him the
corroboration of some high government officers. In the course of his
departure from Sierra Leone he was fortunate to have arrived in Ghana wit
