Subject: Greeting,
Greeting,
Please kindly permit me to quickly introduce myself to you in this very
regards,I write to intimate you of a matter that requires an urgent
attention. But briefly, I am Gideon Kerkula.The Son of late Dr.Kelivin
Kerkula he was the chairman/CEO of the Liberia national Gold & Diamond
Mining Corporation. It is my pleasure communicating with you for the first
time and believe that it will lead to a better relationship between us. I
hope you will not impede the trust and confidence I reponse in you.
I sent this letter from Accra Ghana here I have an official refugee status
after leaving our country due to an event that took place on Febuary 2003
which led to the arrest and detention of my Father and six other men after a
face off withthe Liberia government on allegation of subversive activities
and treasonable offences which was nothing but a mere political persecution.
After five months in the military detention camp my father was announced
dead by the government special press release.
Though I do not know to what extent you are familiar with the event and
crisis in Liberia, however during the disturbance and prior to my father
death he gave me all the documents for the secret deposit he made in a
private security company in Accra Ghana where the fund has been deposited
and I am willing to forward to you the company contact address as well all
other information regarding this deposit for you to kindly confirm and made
all the arrangement toward getting it withdrawn and deliver to you in your
country thereby investing for me.
The deposit is US$ 22.5 Million US Dollars, he made the deposit in a trunk
box(cash), but the real content of the box was not disclosed to the security
company officials as these were deposit as personal effect for security
reasons. However I have contacted the security company in Accra Ghana to
confirm the deposit and establish ownership,and also seeking the delivery of
this consignment to you, once you have indicated your willingness and
interest to assist us invest the fund.
With all honesty to the stated data in my message,I assure you of the
genuity of this proposal. I will particularly be happy if you can handle
this transaction in the most confidential manner since the rest of my life
and that is my solely depends on this fund. It is the fear of betrayal from
any one around us here that informed my decision to contact a neutral
individual like you, and I want you to educate me on investment potential in
your country.
I will not hesitate to give you 25% of the total sum for your assistance, so
if you will be able to assist me . please do urgently reply me for further
clarification and confirmation. Thank for your anticipated
co-operation,Please you are to reply me back to my private email address
