Subject: ACT URGENTLY
*AHMED MOMOH
REPUBLIC OF GHANA
ATTN: SIR/MADAM
Your name was among some short listed
companies agents in the above mentioned organization.I am Mr Ahmed Momoh the
first son of Joseph Momoh the former president of SierraLeone.l am 30 years
old an undergruduate in geology and mining in University of Sierra Leone
Kono.(USK) Unfortunately,my father has been accused and arrested by the
Sierra Leone government for acclaimed illegal possession ammunition in his
residence where all his travelling documents and other ressential document
has been seized by the present government which the government see it as
hindrance to a peaceful resolution in the country contrary to the case which
they claimed he committed for he may be sentenced to life imprisonment.
During my father's tenture as a former president Sierra Leone,he secretly
deposited eighty million dollars cash ($80,000,000.00)in a private Bank here
in Accra Ghana,in custody of my name. Meanwhile,the whole family has
mandated me to use the money for the benefit of the entire family since i am
the only one that is not under persecution.I would be grateful if you can
assist in the remittance of this fund by swift transfer into your account
abroad for the benefit of my entire family and for investment in your
country.i have already taken refuge in Ghana to avoid persecution back home
and also our accounts both foreign and local have been frozen and property
confiscated by the present government in SierraLeone.
In addition to the unlawful arrest going on in my country Sierra Leone,this
is an SOS message as i only rely on this money for survival,
invariably.ihope on your mercy,honesty and
sincerity.I would be glad if you can assist as my father's foreign techincal
partner in the security company here in Accra,Ghana and also assist me to
invest this fund in any viable investment in your country so that our family
can be able to start life again with this. Right now,i am hoping to further
my education in your country immediately after the successful transfer of
this fund abroad with your assistance.It was due to my father's problem that
made me stop my doctoring degree course at the University of Sierra Leone
,kono (USK) in order to help my family from total dehumanisation.
Every necessary arrangement on how to invest this fund must be undertaken by
you,why because,i don't have any knowledge about business,moreover,i am toon
young to handle such amount of money in any way. Please note that this money
is in cash and i am preparing to offer you a negotiable commission for your
assistance.Be rest assured that this is 100% rist free,The Sierra Leone
government has no knowledge about this money,including this conutry's
government(Ghana) where i have taken refuge.your urgent response would
indicate your interest therefore i am seriously looking forword in receiving
your quick response soon. Remember i will not fail to furnish you with all
the information and documents relating to this money when you indicate your
interst to be ohelp to us.
THANKS.
Your's faithfully
Ahmed Momoh
