Subject: SINCERE APPEAL.
Dear Friend,
I am ANDREW NDAZI, the first son of late chief JOSEPH OKOYE NDAZI,from mende
District in Sierra Leone.
My source of your]contact gave me the courage and Confidence to contact you
about this very delicate matter.
I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your Assistance
to transfer our cash of twenty One million eight hundred thousand dollars($21,800,000)now
in the custody of a security and trust company to yourprivate account pending
our arrival to your country.
SOURCE OF THE MONEY:
My late father, Chief JOSEPH NDAZI, a native of mende district in the Northern
Province of Sierra Leone, was the general Manager of The National Mining
Co-operation (N.M.C.) Freetown.
According to my father:
This money was the income accrued from mining Co-operations over draft And
minor sales. Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of
Major Paul Koroma and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation
that almost destroyed my country, following the forceful removalfrom power
of the Civilian Elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels.
My father had already made arrangement for his family (my mother, my Younger
sister and myself) to be evacuated to a neighboring West African country,with
our personal effects and the box containing the money. My father deposited
the box in a private Security Company where it was further freighted to Europe
for safe custody until after the war when he will join us.
During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate looting of
public and Government properties by the rebel forces, the mining coop.was
one of the targets looted and destroyed. My father including other top Government
functionaries were attacked and killed by the rebels because of his relationship
with the civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah.As a result of my father
death, and with the news of
my uncles' involvement in an air crash last May 2003 our hope of survival
was completely dashed.
The untimely deaths caused my mother heart failure and other related Complications
of which she has been suffering from all these years. She died in the hospital
just last month after we have spent a lot of money on her.Now my younger
sister and I (I am 26 and she is 23) are alone in this strange country suffering
without any care Or help.
Without any relatives,we are now like refugees and orphans. Our only hope
now is in you and the box deposited in the security company. We can't go
back to Sierra Leone even after peace have been restored because We don't
know what will happen to us as its the murderers that are now in power.
To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the following ways.
To assist me claim this box from the security company in Europe as a Foreign
partner/beneficiary.
To transfer this money in your name to your country.
To make a good arrangement for a joint business Investment on our behalf
in your country and you, the caretaker.
To secure a college for my younger sister and myself in your country to further
our education.
And to make arrangement for our travel with you to your country after you
have transferred this fund.
Most importantly, the security company officials do not know the exact Content
of the box because it was declared Documents, photographic papers and valuables
belonging to a foreign partner. The whole documents issued to my late father
after deposit are all in my custody.
Please I am waiting for your urgent response on this matter as its then I'll
et you know me and my sister's location and the contact details of the security
company both here and in Europe. Then also furnish you with the document
that you will require to receive the consignments.
Thanks and God bless you
Best regards
ANDREW NDAZI (for the family).
