Subject: Need Your Help......
Dear Friend ,
Greetings to you, I know this letter will be strange to you. It comes from a young 19 years old boy held up in a war country. My father was in government in Sierra Leone for about 3 years we had no problems untill Joel Paul kenedi seized power. My father ran with me here and we decide to take refuge here in GHANA. Things have been ok untill the killings and political situation here become a problem. Now he is late and have made investments for me here, but the situation here is so bad and the building stand to be taken away by those supporting and not supporting the government.
My problem is before the death of my father he deposited money here amounting to $11,700,000(eleven million seven hundred thousand dollars) in a frozen account with a bank here in GHANA .And the only option is for me to contact a reliable friend with a fatherly and motherly heart to help me transfer the fund to a safe country . Then i will move and continue my education there, I promised that whoever help me will stay with me since my both parents are not alive as well. My relations have made effort to come here and pick whatever belongs to our family but i refused them because they will leave me without anything for my education. Pls. help us, i compose this letter with tears.
The Pastor who has been helping me here has agreed to cooperate with anybody outside here that want to help me to stay with Him. Please help to get me out of here, the peace efforts here is not working and rich families are running out. I dont want to trust blindly to lose everything i have inherited from my late father since it is the only thing left for me now to continue with.
Hoping to hear from you urgently.
Thank you and God bless you
Master Eddwin Koudjo
