Dear Sir/Madam
A REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE
Though this letter may come to you as a surprise, with due respect, trust
and humility, I use this
medium to write this letter to you irrespective of the fact that you do not
know me, please,
consider this letter as a request from a family in dare need of 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 here 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 liberiaMining 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 inure 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; feel free to call me on phone on the
above number.
Also forward to us your full name, address and Tel/ Fax numbers, to me via
my private email
