Dear Friend,
First I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you
will be given genuine approval considering the facts you and I just meet in the net but with your attention
you sound so good to me, I wish to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you. I am Prince Emmanuel
Momoh from Sierra-Leone.
I write you to know my desires to invest in your country. I am the first son of William A. Momoh, who was the
former Minister Of Mines and Energy. My father had a bullet wounds by the rebels on his way traveling to
the Capital city Freetown along with my sister. My sister died on the spot while U.N Peace keeping force
rescued my father, he later died after eleven months.
Before his death he told to me about the box containing $18 million U.S Dollars to look after my
self and my Mother and shouldn’t go to Sierra-Leone for my safety, why my father deposit the fund in the
security company in Ghana is for safety of the fund.
Presently, my mother and I are here in Ghana to notify the security company for the claims for the
FUND, 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 and as I told you I
really wanted to buy a house when I come there. My father told me it is dangerous to invest this money
in Africa to avoid suspicious and due to its bad economy and political instability facing Africa countries
that is why I want to invest in abroad.
For your foreign assistance I and my mother have agreed to offer you 15% of the total amount of the money.
We have all the vital documents covering the deposit fund and the ownership which I can send to you through
fax on request.
NOTE: I have never disclosed this to any person apart from you, so you have to keep this matter very
confidential. Send me your Private phone and fax numbers for more information.
