Dear Sir,
Based on the information and recommendation satisfactorily gathered concerning your profile, I hereby wish to acquaint you with a business proposal that will be of benefit to both of us.
I am the son of the former chairman of Sierra Leone Diamond Corporation, Late Col. Sanni Mohammed. Due to political instability and war in my country which claimed the live of my father, I am now residing in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire on political assylum.
I have an inheritance as contained in my father's WILL. This has been with a Trust Company here in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire for the past past few years now. I was able to identify myself to the said Trust Company and all rights and privilages issued to me.
As a result of African economic and political instability, I am prompted to look for credible, reliable and trust worthy person or company whom to transfer his inheritance to which is in form of cash deposited in this Trust Company as 'Precious Family Treasure' for the sole purpose of INVESTMENT/MANAGEMENT
Meanwhile, all relevant documents partaining to this 'Precious Family Treasure' are with me and will be issued to you at your request.
Kindly send to me your acceptance mail and other details will follow.
Expecting to hear from you soonest.
Hassan Mohammed
