Dear friend,
I write to solicit your assistance in a project of mutual benefit and regret
any inconveniences contacting you this way with my proposal. I was the
former
Head of Accounts Department at the Diamond Mining Company of Sierra Leone.
I and my partners (two others) are in urgent need of a foreign associate to
work with us to facilitate the transfer of a large sum of Money which we
intend
to invest into profitable areas of business in your country. The funds
currently
secured with a security company is legitimate money rightfully belonging to
me
and my partners, which was earned from private diamond business deals during
our time as top officials at the Diamond Mining Company of Sierra Leone.
Due to unstable political and economic environments in Africa, it is not
quite
safe investing ones financial future in this part of the World. We are
currently living in Banjul capital city of The Gambia and in collaboration
with
some top officials of the Central Bank of West Africa have concluded
arrangements for the transfer. The money involved is eighteen million five
hundred thousand US Dollars.
However, as a result of the regulations here, we cannot transfer the funds
to
your country without having an associate there. I am writing to know if you
could be our overseas associate to handle the transaction privately at your
end, whereby the funds shall be transferred through your bank account, for
mutual benefits.
All aspects of the transaction will be done legitimately from here via the
banking process. We propose your commission shall be 20 per cent of the
total
money been transferred, in view of the importance your role as our overseas
partners will be, without which we cannot transfer the funds.
Please consider this proposal seriously and handle with utmost
confidentiality
the information I have provided you with here. If you Are in a position to
assist, then get back to me immediately on my below email account so I can
give
you details. If you cannot help us, do not respond and I apologize for
taking
your time?
Please, give me your response immediately by return mail.From: Lamin Jalloh
