- Investment proposal From: Peter Abey, Accra-Ghana. REPLY to personal email: peter_abey2008@yahoo.com Tel: +233 273 452 269. Dear Friend, First I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given a 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 Master Peter Abey, from Sierra-Leone. Am contacting you, to let you know my desires to invest in your country, I am the first son of Jonathan Abey, who was the former Minister of Mines and Industry. My father and my junior sister had some bullet wounds which they sustained from the rebels on their way traveling to the Capital city Freetown. 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 me about a trunk box containing $18.5 million U.S Dollars which he deposited with a security company. He said I should claim it to take care of my self and my Mother. He warned me never to go to Sierra-Leone for my safety. My late father deposited the fund in the security company in Ghana for safe keeping of the fund. Presently, my mother and I are here in Accra Ghana West Africa to notify the security company for the claims of 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 suspicion, due to bad economy and political instability facing Africa countries that is why I want to invest it abroad and you should assist me to arrange for that. For your foreign assistance we 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 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 Cell Phone number, land line number and fax numbers for more information and a brief description of yourself for mutual relationship. If you you are interested, please call me for more information +233 273 452 269. Best Regards, Peter Abey.
