Dear Sir,
I should appreciate your surprise while receiving this letter. In any case,
I am left with no option but to contact you in this manner. my decision to
write to you was informed by knowledge that being established personally
that you could be disposed to understand my predicament in order to give me
the assistance I require I am Frank Siaka the son of a late Sierra-Leonia
businessman, late Dr. Coleman Siaka the owner of (RMS) Mining Company in
Sierra-Leone, who died few years ago when the Revolutionary United Front
Rebels (R.U.F) attacked our residence in Makeni Sierra-Leone.
Following the cease fire agreement which was reached last year with the help
of United Nation peace keeping troops, I used the opportunity to leave the
country with a very important document of (US$ 7,650,000.00) Seven Million
Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars, deposited by my late
father in Security Company in South Africa, under my name. This money was
realized from diamond export, now I and my mother are seeking asylum in South
Africa under (UNHCR).
I contacted you because of the need to deal with person whom my family and I
have no previous personal relationships, and I confirmed your country as
being economic conducive for investment and her people as transparent and
trust-worthy to engage in business, hence my reason for writing you however,
this money in question has been in the security company since his death. But
my main problem now is that at my age of 28yrs, I am confused on how to
handle this huge amount of money and also what to do with it as I don't have
anyone to confide in South Africa here. May I use this medium to request
from you if you will be disposed enough to help me keep this huge amount in
your country or any other place of your choice that will have more security
to the money and the life of me and my family?
I have meet the security company with the depositional documents that my
father left behind, of which my name appears as the "Next Of Kin, the
company awaits my coming for the withdrawal, and I am even afraid of
disclosing the content to them since my father in his letter had warned me
against that.
If it appeals to you to help me, I will suggest you take a trip to South
Africa for us to meet face to face and finalize before moving the fund or if
there is any other means you can suggest for the transferring of the fund to
your very position pending my arrival to meet with you for investing of the
money in any profitable business for the benefit of both of us, as I have
decided to do away with Africa entirely.
I want immediate confirmation of your interest through my e-mail address or
phone number above. As soon as I get your response I shall give out more
details on how we shall proceed. Kindly keep this proposal strictly
confidential because of our present status here in South Africa.
Thanks and remain blessed. I wait to receive a favorable response from you
urgently.
Yours faithfully,
Frank Siaka
