The Gambia
Dear friend,
I write to solicit your assistance in a project of mutual benefit and regret
any inconveniences contacting you this way with my proposal. I was the forme
Head of Accounts Department at the Diamond Mining Company
of Sierra Leone.
I and my partners (two others) are in urgent need of a foreign associate to
work with us to facilitate the transfer of a large sum of Money which we intend
to invest into profitable areas of business in your country. The funds currently
secured with a security company is legitimate money rightfully belonging to me
and my partners, which was earned from private diamond business deals during our
time as top officials at the Diamond Mining Company of Sierra Leone.Due to
unstable political and economic environments in Africa, it is not quite safe
investing ones financial future in this part of the World. We are currently
living in Banjul capital city of The Gambia and in collaboration with some top
officials of the Central Bank of West Africa have concluded arrangements for the
transfer. The money involved is eighteen million five hundred thousand US
Dollars.
However, as a result of the regulations here, we cannot transfer the funds to
your country without having an associate there. I am writing to know if you
could be our overseas associate to handle the transaction privately at your end,
whereby the funds shall be transferred through your bank account, for mutual
benefits.
All aspects of the transaction will be done legitimately from here via the
banking process. We propose your commission shall be 20 per cent of the
totalmoney been transferred, in view of the importance your role as our overseas
partners will be, without which we cannot transfer the funds.
Please consider this proposal seriously and handle with utmost confidentiality
the information I have provided you with here. If you Are in a position to
assist, then get back to me immediately on my below email account so I can give
you details. If you cannot help us, do not respond and I apologize for taking
your time.
Please, give me your response immediately by return mail.
Sincerely,
James Dandudu.
