My Dear,
with every hope that my letter to you wouldn't take you totally
unawares. I got your contact through a business magazine and your very name reflects to me that you are someone to be trusted. For this very reason I will hold you in trust and confidence.
My name is Prince Abdul Mala the son of Morris Mala, the former director [financial control] Of the Central Bank of Liberia. In the month of July 2001, I started to receive threats, false allegations and counter accusations from the government of Liberia
under President Charles Taylor. Subsequently the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) headed by Col. Val Mitu put phony corruption charges on me and an arrest warrant was put on my father.
I am 26 years old,and the first son of my mother. My father acquired enormous wealth, no doubt about that; but my father wealth was not acquired illegally neither have he solicited or accepted an illegal advantage as falsely accused by the Anti-Corruption Commissioner.
President Taylor did all these injustices to my father in other to silence him and bring his reputation to zero because he has seen him as an obstacle or impediment to his continuous stay in power.
Also President Taylor only wants to eliminate my father as he has taken side with his opponents [rebels]. As fate would have it,I was fortunate to escape from Liberia and now I am a refugee in Ghana. In the course of my departure from my country, I arrived Accra capital of Ghana safely with members of my immediate family.
I also have with me some reasonable quality of precious mineral and cash
amount of about $15.5m Million US Dollars) but in three boxes each {$5.5m} and {$5m}and {$5m} encased in a sealed metal iron boxes, which for safety measures I have deposited in a reputable private security company,here in Ghana I decleared that the contents are precious family valuables in other not raise suspicion. I now solicit for your
partnership / assistance to transfer these funds to your country for onward
investment.
I will furnish you with further details [including my private consultant after receiving your response. Take everything confidential. Note. You wouldn't involve your personal
money in the course of the transaction.for the interest of this business you can contact my consultant with her email rebeca_onu001@yahoo.com
God bless you
Prince Mala
