Subject: Good Money Deal
From: John Gaga,
Accra-Ghana.
Dear Friend,
First I must solicit your strictest confidence in this
transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you
will be given genuine approval considering the facts
you and I just meet in the net, I wish to use this
opportunity to introduce myself to you. I am John
Gaga. from Sierra-Leone.
I write you to know my desires to invest in your
country; I am the first son of Jonathan P.Gaga, who
was the former Minister of Mines and Industry. My
father had a bullet wounds by the rebels on his way
traveling to the Capital city Freetown along with my
sister. My sister died on the spot while (U.N) Peace
keeping force rescued my father, he later died after
eleven months.
Before his death he told me about the box containing
$18.5 million U.S Dollars to look after my self and my
Mother and shouldn?t go to Sierra-Leone for my
safety. Why my father deposited the fund in the security
company in Ghana is for safety of the fund.
Presently, my mother and I are here in Accra Ghana
West Africa to notify the security company for the
claims of the FUND, and we are staying in the refugee
camp.
Therefore I want you to lecture me on how best we can
invest this money in your country and as I told you I
really wanted to buy a house when I come there. My
father told me it is dangerous to invest this money in
Africa to avoid suspicious, due to bad economy and
political instability facing Africa countries that is
why I want to invest in abroad.
For your foreign assistance I and my mother have
agreed to offer 15% of the total amount of the money.
We have all the vital documents covering the deposit
fund and the ownership which I can send to you on
request.
NOTE: I have never disclosed this to any person apart
from you, so you have to keep this matter very
confidential. Send me your Private phone and fax
numbers for more information and a brief description
of yourself for mutual relationship.
Best Regards,
Mr.John Gaga.
