Subject: AM APPEALING FOR HELP
Dear Sir
12th August 2004. This letter was bound out of my desire toestablish a business mutual relationship with you. I got your contact through the International Trade and Chamber of Commerce (ITCC) in Senigal Dakar.
My name is Master Marshall Ngakundu , the son of Chief Theophilus Ngakundu ( the former Deputy Minister of Finance under the austed Civilian Government), who was killed and mutilated by military junta lead by major Paul Koroma, after over- throwing the elected Government of President Tijan Kabba in Sirea Leone . I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and disturbances/civil war in Sirea Leone .
But by the pressure of the civil war, my mother and I escaped out of Sirea Leone into exile in senigal dakar, where we have been living under political asylum for TWO years.
Sadly, my mother died of cancer- three months ago and was buried in Senigal Dakar . Prior to her death, she handed me over some secriet deposit documents, which my father made in a Security Company in Senigal Dakar.
The deposit that is worth ($22,000,000.00m)Twenty Two Million United States Dollars, was money paid to his corporation by it's overseas customers in the heat of the conflict. He made the deposit in his name with the hope of converting the fund to his personal use at the end of the war but he was killed- when the conflict intensified as a result of his opposition to the
rebel forces.
I have contacted the security company to confirm the deposit and establish ownership. Due to the death of my mother, and the prolonged return of peace in Sirea Leone I have decided to solicit for the participation of an honest and trust worthy person or company, that will assist in the transfer and business re-investment of this money.
I cannot do it alone due to my present social status as an asylum seeker and my total ignorance of the business world. You will be given a negotiable percentage of the money at the end of transaction. If you are interested in the above proposal,please contact me immediately through my E-mail address indicated above for more details.
You must maintain absolute confidence to ensure success. Thanks in anticipation of you favorable reply Please your fax and phone number is also needed for easy contact.
You can contact me with my private E-mail:
( marshall_ngakundu2009@hotmail.com for security reasons.
Yours faithfully.
Mr. Marshall Ngakundu.
