GENUINE ASSISTANCE NEEDED
CAN YOU HELP US INVEST OUR LATE FATHER FUND?????
Dearest Beloved,
Please kindly go through this letter before you pass
judgment because I am in need of assistance. I am
Mr.Ado Mustafa the son of late Dr. Zaki Mustafa
from Sierra Leone. I must confess my agitation is
real, and my words is my bond, in this proposal
My late father happens to be in control of a large
number of farms including cattles and many sheep
before he was poisoned by his foreign business
partners in Paris with my mother in one of their
farmers association meeting because of greed.
But before his death my late father deposited some
amount of money outside our country in bank at the
tone of Four Million United States Dollars
$4,000.000.00. So I and my little sister are no longer
safe here as the present government of Sierra Leone
are working with almost all the killers of my late
father as one of them has been just be made a
minister, name undisclosed because of security
reasons.
Furthermore we have contacted the bank where the money
is deposited and the bankers let us understand that
they signed an agreement with our late father that the
total money must be transferred into his foreign
business partner account undisclosed to them and that
is the major reason why i am contacting you now for
assistance.
All I needed from you now is your full names and
address including your direct and personal telephone
number for easy communication as you know that this
transaction is a very confidential one.
Please Kindly get back to me immediately after you
must have gone through my message fill free and make
it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you 15 %
of the total money amount, and in case of any other
necessary expenses you might incur during this
transaction.
N.B Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip
investment opportunities which is risky free which I
can invest with this money when it is transferred from
the bank here, personally I am interested in estate
management and hotel business, please advise me. For
more explanation write me through my alternative
e-mail address (mustafa5080@yahoo.fr)
And promise me and my younger sister to be a good
guardian considering our situation and not to betray
us.
Thanks and God bless you and your family.
Best regards
Mr.Ado Mustafa
