Subject: YOUR URGENT RESPONSE FROM SMITH AND SANDRA GARANG
FROM: SMITH AND SANDRA GARANG
BUDUBORAN REFUGEE CAMP,
WEST AFRICA , ACCRA GHANA
Good Day,
I pray that GOD will bless you and give you the heart to help me and my
sister as you read this email.
Please permit me the time and chance to introduce my self to you. My name is
Smith Kabila Garang, 19years old and my sisters name is Sandra Garang. I am
the Son of Late General Alexandre Garang, the former Director of military
intelligences and special acting General Manager of the Sierra Leone Diamond
mining cooperation(SLDMC ). We got your contact from the UNITED NATIONS FOR
REFUGEE that is why we are contacting you to seek your good assistance to
transfer and invest $8 million dollars and also Gold Dust and Bar belonging
to my late father which he deposited in a Security ans Finance Company here
in Ghana and made me his next of kin.
This money is revenues sold from minerals and diamonds sale which were under
my late father possession before the civil war broke out. Following the
brake out of the war, almost all government offices, corporations and
prostates were attacked and vandalized. The SLDMC was loathed and burnt down
to ashes,and diamonds worth millions of dollars was stolen by the rebel
military forces who attacked my fathers office.
Many top government officials and senior army officers were assassinated and
my father was a key target because of his very sensitive military position
and appointment in the SLDMC. Regrettably, my father was captured and
murdered along with his brother in cold blood during a mid-night rebel
shoot-out when our official residence in Freetown was ambushed by Fordey
Sankoh the notorious rebel leader. My mother sustained very several bullet
injuries which resulted to her untimely and painful death in a private
hospital here in Ghana. Now I am alone with my sister in a totally strange
country without parents, relatives or any body to care for us at this tender
age. Before my mother died, she told me that my father deposited some money
which he made from Gold sales and contracts ,in a Security and Finance
Company here in Ghana and that I should pray and find a trustworthy foreign
business partner who would help me to transfer and invest this money in a
profitable business venture overseas.
She told me to do this quickly so that I can leave Ghana with my sister
Sandra, who is here in the refugee camp with me and then settle down abroad.
She gave me all the documents to prove the deposit and then told me that my
father used my name as the next of kin to deposit this money in the Security
and Finance Company.She told me that this is the reason why we came to
Ghana. My mother died after-wards. May her spirit rest in perfect peace. I
have gone to the Security and Finance Company to make inquires about this
money and I spoke with the director of operations who assured me that
everything will be OK if i can provide a foreign beneficiary, because that
was the agreement between the Security and Finance company and my late
father.
However, the director is very concerned because of my age, I am 19 years and
as such promised to help me and he would like to speak with any foreign
beneficiary i present before him to ensure that this money is invested
wisely in a profitable business because of his personal interest and
sympathy for me. If you are willing to assist me, please let me know
immediately and provide me with your following information.
Your full names and address, tel/fax/ mobile ,Please note that I can only
offer you 30% of the total money as compensation for your noble assistance
in accordance with my mother's advise. I am interested in any profitable
commercial venture which you consider very good in your country and you
would also get a school for me and my sister so that we can complete our
education.
I am hoping to hear your urgent response so that I can stop looking for
another foreign partner and also, send you all the documents given to me by
my Late mother.
Thank you and may God bless you and your dear family.
Smith and Sandra Garang
