Investment proposal
>From Mike Momougu,
Dear Madam / Sir,
First I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given genuine approval considering. I wish to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you.
I am Mike Momougo from Sierra-Leone. I write you to know my desires to invest in your country; I am the first son of Jonathan K.Momougu, who was the former Minister of Mines and Industry.
My father had a bullet wounds by the rebels on his way traveling to the Capital city Freetown along with my sister. 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 to me about the box containing $18.5 million U.S Dollars to look after my self and my Mother and shouldn’t go to Sierra-Leone for my safety.
Why my father deposit the fund in the security company in Ghana is for safety of the fund. Presently, my mother and I are here in West Africa Accra Ghana to notify the security company for the claims for 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 suspicious, due to its bad economy and political instability facing Africa countries that is why I want to invest in abroad. For your foreign assistance I and my mother 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 through fax 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 Private phone and fax numbers for more information.
You can send me mail on my private addresses momougo mikemomougo@myself.com and you can also call me for more information on my number +233-265645936
Best Regards,
Mike Momougu.
