Subject: URGENT ATTENTION
Hello Dear
I know you will be surprised to received this letter. But please consider this as a request from a family, in serious need of assistance.I am MR. JAMES CONTEH, senior son of Chief JOSHUA CONTEH, from the REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA. I am presently residing in Accra, GHANA. Well, I got your contact from a trust worthy friend of yours and based on his regards, I decided to ask you for your assistance to help me receive some amount of US dollars out of GHANA into your country and equally invest wisely with it over there. During the serious civil war in Liberia, my Father eventually has to transferred the sum of $20 million US dollars TWENTY MILLION, UNITED STATES DOLLARS) cash, into the Ghana Commercial Trust Bank, (GCTB), in Accra, Ghana, in order to safeguard our families future investment’s capital, as a result of the serious persistence of the civil war casualties, may subsequently cause loss of more lives and property.
My Father was in full control of most of the mineral resources of GOLD AND DIAMOND in LIBERIA for 15 years, and he was equally one of the Major Generals during the regime of former President Charles Taylor of Liberia. Before my father made the transfer, he drew my attention to the issue of the transfer and then he told me that he will transact the transfer documentation in my name as his first child and senior son of his children….and he also told me that, he’ll from Ghana transfer the cash amount to the United Kingdom to be receive by his foreign beneficiary in the UK. But unfortunately my beloved father was brutally murdered on his way to the airport at Robert Spot, by the rebels in Liberia. And right now, me and my dear mother, my 2 sisters and my only brother have been brought to Ghana by the help of the United Nations to resident here in the Liberia refugee camp in Accra, Ghana, until the end of the war situation…..but due to the untimely death of our beloved father, we are still residing in the refugee camp here in Accra, Ghana. So as refugees here in Accra, we are restricted from legal operations of employment, investments opportunities or business transactions. Because of the involvement of my late beloved father with Charles Taylor’s regime that led to the cause of the civil war, makes it impossible for me and my family to go back home to LIBERIA, as our government in LIBERIA, is seriously hunting dangerously for our family members, which makes it practically impossible for me as the senior son to take myself and my family, back to Liberia, after the claim of the $20million US dollars, to invest or to live in the country. I will personally grant you the sum of (30%) Thirty percent of the total amount transferred into you personal account at the end of the successful transaction of the money transfer into your foreign account. The amount to be transferred, is 100% risk free guaranteed, no risk. Simple just send me your resident address and full names which will be used to secure some vital documentation that will suppose to bear your names as the next of kin or beneficiary to the $20million transfer transaction. And also your direct telephone, fax and cell phone numbers for easy and constant communications on this transaction regards. Thanks in advance for your understanding and co-operation, as I will be very grateful at the instance of a positive responds to this regards!
Warm regards to you and your family.Best regardsMr. James Conteh
