Dear Sir,

Omoh Sierra-Leone diamond and mining corporation. I must confess my
agitation is real, and my words is my bond, in this proposal.
My late father diverted this money meant for purchase of ammunition, for my
country, during the peak of disastrous civil war in my country, now he has
deposited the money with ECOBANK Ghana, where I am residing under political
asylum with my younger sister.
Now the war in my country is over with the help of ECOMOG soldiers, the
present government of Sierra Leone has revoked the passport of all officers
who served under the former regime and now ask countries to expel such
person at the same time freeze their account and confiscate their asset, it
is on this note that I am contacting you, all I needed from you is to
furnish me with your bank particulars: 1) Account name 2) Account number 3)
Bank address, telephone and fax number For you to assist me transfer this
money in your private bank account, the said amount is (TWELVE Million
Dollars) $12 Million. I am compensating you with 5% of the total money
amount, now all my hope is banked on you and I really wants to invest this
money in your country, were their is stability of Government, political and
economic welfare. Honestly I want you to believe that this transaction is
real and never a joke. My late father Chief Omoh gave me the photocopies of
the certificate of deposit issued to me by ECOBANK on the date of deposit,
for you to be clarify because, I do not expose my self to anybody I see, I
believe that you are able to keep this transaction secret for me because
this money is the hope of my life, it is important. Please call me
immediately after you must have gone through my message fill free and make
it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you 5% of the total money
amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses you might incur during
this transaction.
N.B Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip investment
opportunities which is risky free which I can invest with this money when it
is transferred to your account, personally I am interested in estate
management and hotel business, please advise me. Call me back immediately
you receive this message for more explanation. And promisse me and my
younger sister to be a father considering our situation and not to betray
us.
