Subject: Greetings.
Good Day,
with reference made by a volunteer of the charity aid foundation a
subsidiary of the United Nation Food program of your esteemed office and
personal self. This volunteer visited the Refugee camp in Accra Ghana.
Although, I did not disclose my actual intention to him. May I at this
point first apologize for this unsolicited mail? Please forgive my
indignation if it may have offended you without your prior-consent.
I am JUDE OMOR a sierra-Leonean national presently living in Ghana with
my siblings and mother. We are based here in the Accra Refugee camp. My
father, the (late John Omor) was a paramount chief in our local.
Village. This village was very rich in diamonds, columbium and Tantalum. The
latter being a base metal for the production of Tantalite used cell
phone and computers. Anyway by virtue of my father's position as a chief,
whose administration overseas the collection of royalties on all
Mineral lands within his juristration? Sadly however my father was accused of
embezzlement and murdered by the rebels during the insurgency in
President Paul Koromah's Government.
The family than fled to Ghana and sought shelter at as refugees. My
mother showed me documents indicating that my late father has kept an
amount of US Dollars 28 Million in a private security company in Ghana. At
the moment I and my mother are soliciting your assistance to arrange
means for the transfer of the whole amount from Ghana to Overseas, for a
viable investment. Your assistance will be of great help to us should
you decide to help, because our status dose not permit us to run an
account here. You will also be expected to provide us with information on
investment opportunities in your country. We are worry of contacting any
of my father business partners because we believe that some people had
hand in my father's death.
Finally and most important, how will the family be assured that you
will act on good faith? Although, we have had very good recommendation of
you. I do hope that we shall meet in the near future so that we can
demonstrate to you all the necessary documents and you will also keep
faith with us to assist my family and me in this venture. Please should you
decide to help in this venture kindly let us know what form of
assistance you could offer in way of investments and if so what is your stake?
I mean in terms of percentage how much you would want to be paid.
Please kindly contact me on the following telephone
number;(00233-243374014) Thanks you for your time and we look forward to meet you and
establishing a long-term relationship.
I remain.
Yours truly,
Jude Omor (for the family).
