FROM ANDERSON AND LINDA MUZAZAH
C/O ROCK OF AGES EVANGELICAL MINISTRY
ABIDJAN, REPUBLIC OF COTE-D'IVOIRE
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 fathers 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
