Dear Sir,
My name is Anderson Muzazah and my sister is Linda, we are the children Of
Late General Benson Muzazah, the former Director of Military intelligence
and special acting General Manager of the Sieria Leone Diamond Mining
cooperation (SLDMC). I am contacting you to seek your good
assistance to transfer and invest USD 28 million belonging to my late father
which is deposited in a
bank in Abidjan. This money is revenue from solid minerals and diamonds
sale, which were under my fathers control before the civil war broke out.
Following the break out of the war, almost all government offices,
corporations and parastatals were
attacked and vandalized. The SLDMC was looted and burnt down to ashes, and
diamonds worth millions of dollars were stolen by the rebel military forces
who attacked my father’s office. Many top government officials and senior
army officers were assassinated. My father was a key target
because of his very sensitive military position and appointment at the
SLDMC. Regrettably, my father was captured and murdered along with half
brother in cool blood during a mid-night rebel shoot-out when our official
residence in Freetown was ambushed, by Fordey Sanko, the notorious
rebel leader.
My mother sustained very sever bullet injuries which resulted to her
untimely and painful death in a
private hospital here in Ivory Coast. Now we are alone in a totally strange
country without parents, relatives or any body to care for us at our tender
ages. Before our mother died, she told us that our father deposited some
money which he made from diamond sales and contracts at this bank here
in Ivory Coast and that we should pray to find a trustworthy foreign
business partner who can help us transfer and invest this money in a
profitable business venture overseas. She told us to do this quickly so that
we can leave Ivory Coast with our cousin, brother Arthur who is here in the
camp with us and then settle down abroad. She gave us the bank document to
prove the deposit and then told us that my father used my name as the only
son to deposit the money in the bank. She told us that this is the reason
why we came to Ivory Coast. My mother died afterwards. May her
spirit rest in perfect peace.
I have gone to the bank to make inquires about this money and I spoke with
the Manager of International remittance who assured me that everything is
intact and promised to help me transfer this money to my foreign partners
bank account as soon as we are ready and to provide my partners foreign bank
account for them. But the manager is very concerned because of my age.
I am 17 years and as such advised that I should look for a matured person
that will represent me at the bank. If you are willing to assist us, please
let us know immediately so that you will arrange the transfer of the money
to your account with the bank.
Please note that I can only offer you 15% of the total money as compensation
for your noble assistance in accordance with my mothers advise. I am
interested in any profitable commercial venture, which you consider very
good in your country and you would also get a school for my little
sister, my cousin and me so that we can finish our College education. Please
there is urgent need for the money to be transferred to your account because
of the political crises they are having in Cote d'Ivoire now. I am hoping to
hear your urgent response so that I cannot look for another foreign partner.
Thank you and may God bless you and your dear family.
Yours sincerely,
Anderson and Linda Muzazah
