ECOMOG soldiers, the present government of Sierra
Leone has revoked the passport of all officers who
served under the former regime and now ask countries
to expel such person at the same time freeze their

amount, now all my hope is banked on you and I
really wants to invest this money in your country, were
their is stability of Government, political and economic
welfare.

Honestly I want you to believe that this transaction
is real and never a joke. My late father KUMBA Mohamed zamham

gave me the photocopies of the certificate of
deposit issued to him on the date of deposit, for
you to be clarify because, I do not expose my self
to anybody I see, I believe that you are able to keep
this transaction secret for me because this money is
the hope of my life, it is important.

Please call me immediately after you must have gone

That is the reason why I offered you 10 % of the total
money amount, and in case of any other necessary
expenses you might incur during this transaction.

chip investment opportunities which is risky free which I
can invest with this money when it is transferred to

management and hotel business, please advise me.
