Subject: URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL
FROM DAVID CHIKOYA
JOHANNESBURG
REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA.
TEL:2782-058-3474
ATTN: PRESIDENT / C E O.
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Dear Sir/Madam,
I do recognized the surprise this urgent but confidential proposal will
bring to you,especially as
it comes from stranger. It is occasioned by the urgency it demands, However,
your contact address
got to me through South African foreign information center in Johannesburg.
I was ok to solicit for your support and assistance.For pupose of
introduction,Iam Mr. David Chikoya and my younger brother from the diamond
–rich district of the Republic of Sierra Leone. My father was the former
special advicer to the ousted Head of State of Sierra Leone, Major.P.Koroma.
During the war between the rebel forces led by ex-head of state,
Major.P.Koroma, and the west African Allied forces(ECOMOG), my Country
realized heavily on the foreign earning generated from diamond trade.
Themoney realized from this diamond trade, were personally kept by the then
Head of state, Major.P. Koroma because the country’s banking system had
collapsed during the war. However, as the war progressed ,it became clear
that the rebels will loose to the superior and better armed ECOMOG forces.
At this point the key officers of the administration started making frantic
efforts on how to leave Sierra Leone safely. Therefore,they shared the money
from the diamond trade. In view of the fact that my father was one of the
key officers of the then administration and an in-law to Major.P.Koroma, he
succeeded in getting the sum of (US$27.8MILLION) Twenty
seven Million eight hundred thousand United State Dollars only.
My father immediately travelled to South Africa to deposit his own share in
one of the private security company as a valuables of the family treasure
that worth this amount of money INDICATED HERE,without declearing the exact
content of the box.Unfortunately,my father died on road accident on his way
to (ijoo) which is our home town,and our hopes becames dim and narrow in our
country,because our mother have died since on the process of given birth to
our last born,and my father did not re-married till his death.
So,as our conditions have turned bad,no father and no mother,now our uncles
started funny things which i will not go into details here,and because of
their ill treatment/ behaviour towards us we decided to run down to South
Africa for sometime,for our safety.On our arrival to South Africa with the
depository documents which our late father deposited in the private security
company as a valuables family treasure here in South Africa with some cash
which was the issues of our uncles agrressions and groges over us,we tried
to locate the security company and presented before them the whole
depository documents plus our identity and our father's death certificate
and they agreed to release the consignment to us.
But the problem we are having now is to open a bank account and carry out
this money from the security company and pay it in the bank but we were not
allowed to open any bank account or even to operate any big business of our
own here,due to our asylum status,because of the financial law here in South
Africa.
Please that is why I contacted you to assist us to transfer this money into
your personal or company's account for our investment.For assisting us,I
have agreed to give you 20% of the total sum for your assistance to transfer
this money into your account in your country or any country,2% will be for
any expenses both of us might incured on the process of this transfer,and
78% will be for me and my younger brother for our investment in your country
which you will be our guide.
And I will use some part of the money for diamond trade business in my
country as I still have the connection there in my country but I have to do
it together with you because of conditions. Please,if this reaches your
utmost consideration and interested,try immediately to contact me with the
above phone number and the e-mail address.
Also indicate when you will be free to come to South Africa as this proposal
need's urgent attention.Also give me your private phone and fax number for
easy comunications,please feel free to ask any questions you may consider
necessary and try your best possible to maintain high level of
confidentiality in this business.
Thanks and bye till I hear from you.
Our best regards,
David Chikoya.
