Subject: Proposal
Dear Sir,
First I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction and
I
pray that my contacting you will be given genuine approval considering
the
fact that we don't know each other before. I wish to use this
opportunity to
introduce myself to you. I am mike kamokai, I am writing to inform you
of my
desire to invest, and to buy a house in your country.
I am the first son of Chief Joseph kamokai who was the former Para
month
ruler of saradungu village of Sierra-Leone .my father was attacked by
the R
U F rebels on his way to Lucia a northern part of Sierra-Leone and my
father
sustained injuries and he died three days.
Before he died he revealed to me about the two boxes containing $50
million
u s dollars. Which he deposited with a security company in Ghana for
safe
keeping. My father did not disclose the content of the boxes to the
security
company. To avoid the officials from raising eye brows.
Presently I and my mother are here in Ghana to notify the security
company
of the claims, and we are staying in the refugee camp.
Therefore I want you to lecture me on how best we can invest this money
in
your country, because my father told me that it is dangerous to invest
in
Africa to avoid suspicions, and due to market instabilities coupled
with
economic and political situation facing Africa for your assistance
myself
and my mother have agreed to offer you 20% of the total amount of the
money.
We have all the vital documents covering the deposit and the ownership
which
I can send to you.
.
Note, I have never disclosed this transaction to anybody apart from
you. So
please keep it very very confidential. Call me on this number line
00233244774480.
Thanks.
Best regards.
Mike kamokai
