Subject: URGENT ATTN.
Dear Sir/Madam
My name is Grace Igho am 31years girl, I and my brother are orphans from
the Republic of Liberia.
We are presently residing in cross rivers State, Nigeria. We were amongst the lucky Liberians who benefited airlifted from the airlifting exercise
embarked upon by the United Nation High Commission on Refugees (U.N.H.C.R.).
My late father until his death was a heavy importer of iron and steel in Laiberia.
Before the war in Liberia, my father was awarded a contract to supply
Steel and Iron Rods valued at US$9.6 Million six hundred thousand Dollars ,to the Department of Works and Housing, in Laiberia.
He ordered the steel from U.K, but before the shipment arrived, the war broke out in Laiberia. Due to the war he redirected the shipment to lagos Sea Port for safety.
The war led to destruction of lives and properties. My father developed heart problem and few days later he gave up the ghost on the 15th of febuary, 2003.
Life became very difficult in the camp and I thought it wise to approach some officials of the Ministry in Nigeria and the supply was taken by the government at a much reduced price, since we are poor and desperately in need of money.
It took another (5) months for the payment to be approved, we prayed and fasted and with the help
of God, the payment have been approved by the Finance Ministry.
A secret revealed to us that the government will deduct a Tax of 45% if the money is paid to us here in Nigeria since we are war refugees.
As the eldest child, I decided that we have to relocate to a foreign country where we can live without fear of any danger again and also have our money complete.
We already have informed the ministry that our late fathers foreign partiner shall be forwarding an account for the payment of the funds for
same as our guiding.
This is basically where we want your surport, to provide a bank account.
The approved amount is US$9.6 (Nine Million six hundred thousand US Dollars).
And we are willing to negotiate your corporate or personal commission for your participation.
Please feel free to send your full contact including your phone and fax numbers immediately you receive this letter for more details to. grace.igho@yahoo.com
the ministry is waiting for us to provide an account so that the fund can be wired immediately.
