Investment proposal
From The Desk of Prince Emmanuel Momoh,
Contact: 00233-2090-38828
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. 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 shouldnt 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 West Africa Accra 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, 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 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.
You can reach me on my private email emmamomoh01@walla.com this is my
phone No: 00233-2090-38828.
Best Regards,
- Emmanuel Momoh
