Dear Sir/Madam
A REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE.
I am Mr. Louis Dada and my sister is Miss Ollian Dada, we are
the children of late Chief Dada Tefeya from liberia. I am writing
you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance
to transfer our cash of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000.000.00)
cash bond concealed and secured in Two treasure trunk
boxes which is now safely secured in the vault of a Security
brokerage Firm in Netherlands. The money is declared as
family valuables by my late father,as a matter of fact,the
company do not know the content as money,although my
father made them to understand that the boxes belongs to his
foreign partner.
My late father Chief Dada Tefeya,a native of Mende District in
the Northern Province of liberia, was the General Manager of
liberia Mining co-operation (S.L.M.C.) cape month. According
to my father,this money was the income accrued from Mining
Cooperation's over draft and minor sales.
During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate
looting of Public and Government properties by the rebel forces,
the LIBERIA mining coop. was one of the targets looted and
destroyed. My father including other top Government
functionaries were attacked and killed by the rebels in November
2000 because of his relationship with the civilian Government
of Brant.As a result of my father's death and with the news
of my uncle's involvement in the air crash in January it dashed
our hope of survival. The untimely deaths caused my mother's
heart failure and other related complications of which she later
died in the hospital after we must have spent a lot of money
on her early last year. Now my kid sister and I are alone in
this strange country suffering without any care or help, we are
now like refugees and orphans. Our only hope now is in you
to assist us.
I humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways.
1. To assist me claim this boxes from the security Firm as our
beneficiary
2. To provide a bank account where this money can be transferred.
3. To make a good arrangement for a joint business investment
on our behalf in your country and you, as our Adviser/
Manager
For your assistance, I have agreed with my sister that 20% of
the total amount will be for your effort and another 25 % to cover
all the expenses that you may incure during the business
transaction.
Lastly, I urge you to keep this transaction strictly confidential as
no one knows our where about. Please,as you show your
willingness respond to us on this email add: louissdada@aol.com
Thanks. God bless you as you assist us.
Louis Dada
