Subject: PLEASE, CAN YOU BE OF HELP?
Dear Friend,
I am making this contact with you after a satisfactory information I recieved from the Ministry of Commerce and Tourism hylighting your company's profile. I am as conviced as to believe that you will be capable and trustworthy to deal with. Therefore, I decided to send this mail to you.
In a brief introduction, I am Micheal Lumber. The son of Dr. KAREEM M. Lumber, the former minister of mines and national diamond corporation of Sierra-Leone who was among the 21 ministers that were executed by the military junta during the regime of President Ahmed Tejjan-Kabbah, of the republic of Sierra-Leone. While my father was in detention before their execution took place, he called me secretly and revealed to me that he deposited an amount of $32.4 Million U.S Dollars in a security company in Accra, Ghana. My father told me, that he deposited this money in disguise of family belongings(Artifacts), not even the managing director of the security company knows that the contents of this consignment was money. Futhermore, he directed me where I can pick the necessary documents concerning this sum which I can forward to you in future as soon as you convinced me that you can never betray me when this money finally get to your country. As a result of the eventuallity that happened
after the death of my father, I virtually lost all his valuable assets. All our property were confisicated by the government, in other words, this money is our last hope. Presently, I am now here in Ghana with my aged mother and my younger sister at the Budumbura refugee camp looking for a reliable person that can assist us evacuate this fund to any of the western-nations where it can be wisely invested before I got your contact and God touched me, and therefore develop interest to repose this confidence in you. Again, what I need from you is to come down here so that we can have a meeting on how to move this money outside for future investments, but if you cannot make it, due to engagements, please advise me on what next to do. Please no-one knows about this except you and I, and should therefore be treated as such. I have agreed with my mother to offer you 10% of the total money, but it could also be negotiated. My best regard to you and your family. You can reach me on my email
contact -micheallumber@yahoo.com Or Tel;- 00233-24-3319060.
Yours sincerely,
Micheal Lumber.
