Dear Friend.....
I wish to present this proposal for the purpose of investment in your country.
My name is NURUDEEN MOHAMMAD PUJEH, and I am 20years old.I am the son of HON.N.M. PUJEH the former Minister of Transport and Communication with the present Government of President Kabbah of Sierra-Leone.
My father and mother were arrested on 1st of Nov 2001 by Kabbah's Government on allegation of using their postion in the govenment to aid smuggling of diamond from the Kono diamond field,it was just a political vendetta.
My father later died in the prison,it was diagnonised that he was poisoned,but Government report says heart failure. whatever it is,let God be the judge.
He sent a note to me before his death ,regarding a deposit of of sum of (USD$6,000,000.00) SIX Million United States Dollars in a safekeeping company here in Accra -ghana,and the money is decleared as family valuables to avoid bad ones to put eye in the money.
The company is known as global security courier service. But before that, he made an agreement with the company and also instructed the director of the company that the consignment (fund) can not be released to me unless i am 27years old or if i present to them any forieng guarrantor and adviser.
Now i have to continue my education and also need to live as other people.The primary reason of contacting you is to stand for me as a forieng guarrantor so that the money can be released.After retrieving this Fund, i will want us to go into business partnership with the money while you help me to get a good school in ur country to continue my education aswell. I will offer you 25% from the total sum if you will not want business partnership.
If you consider yourself trustworthy,capable and God's fearing person, please kindly get back to me as soon as possible.And will need the following informations from you............YOUR AGE......YOUR PHONE/FAX NUMBER........YOUR...... OCCUPATION AND YOUR ADDRESS.You can also contact me at...
