Subject: Fwd: I await your prompt reply.
I know this letter might beat your imagination as we have no previous
correspondence. My name is Mr. Kim Jose, the son of Dr. Benjamin Kim.
Sierra-Leonean business man and owner of RMS Mining Company in
Sierra-Leone.
My dad died a few years ago when the Revolutionary United Front
(R.U.F) rebels attacked our residence in Free-Town, Sierra-leone.
Following the cease fire agreement which was reached with the help of
the United Nations Peace-Keeping Troops, I used the opportunity to
leave the country with a very important document relating to a cash
deposit of $13,600,000 (Thirteen Million,Six Hundred Thousand Dollars)
deposited by my late father in a security company in South Africa,
under my name. This money was realized from diamond export.
Presently, my mother and I are seeking asylum in South Africa under
UNHCR. I contacted you because of the need to deal with a person whom
my family has no previous personal relationship with. I got your
contact from the Internet and I confirmed your country as being
economically viable for investment and her people as transparent and
trust-worthy to engage in business, hence my reason for writing to
you. But my main problem now is that I am confused on how to handle
this huge amount of money and also what to do with it as I don’t have
any previous business experience nor anyone to confide in here in
South Africa.
May I use this medium to request from you if you will be disposed to
help me keep this fund in your country or any other place of your
choice that will have more security to the money. I have contacted the
Security Company with the Deposit documents that my Father left
behind, of which my name appears as the “Next Of Kin” and the
company awaits my coming for the withdrawal.
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 things before
moving
the fund. However, if there is any other means you can suggest for the
transfer of the fund to your designated account pending my arrival to
meet you on investing the money in any profitable business you
introduce, as I have decided to leave South Africa.
After the fund gets into your designated account, twenty five percent
(25%) of the total amount will be for you, five percent (5%) of this
money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this
transaction while the remaining 70% will be for my investment in your
country.See my contact email:

I await your prompt reply.
Yours faithfully,
MR.Kim Jose
