Subject: THANKS
Dear Sir,
Good day!!.
Compliments of the day and my best wishes to you and family!!!.
I know this letter will come to you surprisingly but let it not be a
surprise to you, for nature has a way of arriving unannouced and an
adage says originals are very hard to find but their echo sounds
louder.
So,
I decided to contact you myself for you to assure me of safety and
honesty
if Ihave to entrust any amount of money under your custody.
I am MR FRANK IYIEKE.Fleming, the son of late Mr IYIEKE.S.Fleming(Jr) who was
the minister of finance in Liberia but was killed during the civil
ar.Knowing your country as being economical condusive for investment
and
your people as transperant and trustworthy to engage in business on
which
premise I write you.
Before my father death, he had the sum of twenty-three million united
states dollars (us$23,000,000.00) which he kept away from the rebel
leaders during the course of the war. this fund was supposed to be
used for rehabilitation of water reserves all over the country before
the
outbreak of war. when the war broke out, the rebel leader demanded that
this
fund be given to him, my father insisted that the money was not in his
possesion but he was killed because of his refusal to release the fund.
Meanwhile my mother and i is the only person who knows about this
fund,because my father always confide in me. I quickly made an
arrangemnt
with a red cross rellief worker who used his official van to move this
money
to Morovia International Airport, although he did not know the real
content
of the box.
The fund was deposited as a family treasure with a safe relaible
security company . As a result, I still kept this
money also for security reasons as the present administration is
nvestigating the existence of such fund of which I denied knowledge of
it,
claiming that my father did not tell me about such money.
The only assistance I need from you which i believe you would do for
me are the following:
1. Assist me invest this money in your country
2. Assure me that you will not sit on my share when this fund gets to
your country.
You will have 15% of the money for yourself as you guide me further
to invest the remaining 80% in any valueble business venture while 5%
is
earmarked to cover expenses contingencies.
Most importantly, i will like to buy a personal house where i and my
mother will reside.
Upon confirmation of your interest to help me as my foreign partner
to invest this money, i will link you the details of this transaction
to
be
scheduled in your favour by the security company.
While thanking you for your anticipated understanding and
cooperation, I look forward to your urgent response.
please note that this transaction is strictly confidential and must
be treated with utmost secrecy.
Best regards,
MR FRANK IYIEKE
