My Dear,
Since this is my first letter to you, it will be pertinent to first make myself
known to you. My name is Mr. Sam Kemokai. I am the first son of Chief Omoh
Kemokai, the former Chairman of Sierra Leone Mining Corporation.
Unfortunately, my father 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. This is a story that has to be
imagined than to express because of the ugly memory and cost.
Since the demise of my father, we the entire family had been grieving and
honestly it is very hard for us to trust people especially here in Africa. I had
only confided in few close friends as we were in need of securing the wealth of
my father. It was within these meditations that I got your contact through my
pesistent internet search for a reliable person and I hope to gain your
sincerity, trustworthy and reliability in business. Honestly, I have not
revealed to anyone exactly what I wanted or the amount of money involved.
Based on my search for an honest person I decided to write you first because
this is my family's last hope of living comfortably as we do when my father was
alive.
Before my father passed away, he had already acquired a vast estate and a
considerable wealth in Sierra Leone. My father deposited a box containing Thirty
Three Million US Dollars (US$33,000,000.00) with a security company. When he
deposited these box, my father purposely registered it as a official documents
and 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 and a securty code was issued to him which he gave to me as his next
of kin before he died.
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 the money from
the security company to a reliable person overseas for a proper investment.
Based on this, I am seriously soliciting on your kind assistance to aid me on
how to invest this money with you in your good country. When my beloved country was
at war, I was still a student and I have little or no knowledge about business
and this is one of the reasons why I need your help most. Please this is a
family affair and because of my family name,it should be strictly between me and you.
And for the safety of my family.
Have this in your mind that this business is 100% risk free, and nothing for you
to worry about. My family has agreed to give you 20% of the total amount if you
are ready to assist us in this transaction. I am waiting for your urgent reply
on this email
Thanks,
Sam Kemokai
For the family
