Subject: Business Proposal
FROM; MRS.ROSE ABAI
132 AIRPORT ROAD
SIERRA LEONE. CONFIDENTIAL
Sir,
I know you will be surprised to receive this business proposal. Firstly, I must introduce myself, I am MRS.ROSE ABAI, the wife of Captain DAVID ABAI , the special assistant to the former ousted head of state of the republic of Sierra Leone, Major Johnny Paul Koromah. I am from the diamond rich district of Kono, Sierra Leone. During the war between our forces led by the Ex-head of State, major Johnny Paul Koromah and the West African Allied Forces (ECOMOG) my country relied heavily on the foreign earning generated from diamond trade.
The President, Major Johnny Paul Koromah personally kept this money, since our banking system has collapsed during the war. However, as the war progressed, it became apparent that we were going
to lose the war to the superior and better armed West African Allied Forces (ECOMOG).
At this point the key officers in the Government started making frantic efforts to leave Sierra Leone safely, thereby sharing the proceeds/money from this diamond trade. In view of the fact that my husband was one of the key officers of the administration and aide to Major Johnny Paul Koromah , he succeeded in getting the sum of USD 18 MILLON {EIGHTEEN MILLON United States Dollars ) only. This money was personally arranged and transferred through diplomatic means with my elder son who is presently in South Africa, after
malicious murder of my husband by (ECOMOG).
My son is currently living in South Africa as an Asylum Seeker or refugee. Upon his arrival in South Africa, after due consideration, I instructed
him to deposit the money with a security company for security reasons which he did. ,Although I instructed him not to disclose the content of the consignment to the security company management.
Now due to current diplomatic relationship between my country and South Africa present Government I have decided for my son who is living in South Africa as an Asylum Seeker to transfer this money to a foreign
country where he can invest it. I am faced with a dilemma of investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have the same political history.
Moreover the South Africa monetary policy/law does not allow such investment by Asylum seekers.
I need a trustworthy person such as yourself, who can assist my son in transferring this money to his account outside South Africa. I shall be most grateful if you can assist my son accomplish this
transaction and hoping too that you are trustworthy and confidential.
For your effort and assistance, we have agreed to give you 30% of the total sum,65% will be for my investment in your country and the remaining 5% will be mapped out for expenses we may incur during the transaction. Please note that this transaction is 100% risk free and what we need from you is complete trust and assurance that my part of money will be safe when transferred to your account. I would also like you to keep this transaction highly confidential
considering my son position in South Africa and the source of the money.
If you are interested in assisting us contact my son MR LUCAS ABAI through this EMAIL;(lucas_abai@yahoo.com) If you are interested please kindly provide my son your private phone/fax numbers.
Best regards.
MRS ROSE ABAI
