LOME, TOGO.

STRICTELY CONFIDENTIAL


DEAR,

SEQUEL TO THE RECOMMENDTION GIVEN TO ME BY A CLOSE ASSOCIATE ,WHO ASSURED ME IN CONFIDENCE OF YOUR ABILITY AND TRUST WORTHINESS,I THEREFORE CONSIDER YOU FAVOURABLE IN THE BUSINESS THAT REQUIRES UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY .

I AM CAPT. ALIYU KONE,THE FORMER CHIEF SECUERITY OFFICER OF THE CENTRAL BANK OF SIERRA LEONE (CBS) . I AM IN CHARGE OF THE SECURITY NETWORK OF CBS FREETOWN, THE CAPITAL CITY. BY VIRTUE OF MY JOB AND POSITION I SUPERVISED THE MOVEMENT OF HUGE AMOUNT OF CASH (BOTH LOCAL AND FOREIGN CURRENCIES) FROM ONE BANK TO OTHER BRANCH IN THE FEDERATION .

OWING TO THE NATURE OF MY JOB,I HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO OFFICIAL FRAUDAND CORRUPTION GOING ON IN ALL FACETS IN OUR NATIONAL LIVES. I HAVE WITNESSED ON SEVERAL OCCASION THE DIVERSION OF MILLIONS OF US DOLLARS BY THE PRESIDENT AND TOP MILITARY OFFICERS .I AM THE CONDUIT THROUGH WHICH OUR PRESIDENT , AHMED TEJAN KABBAH , DIVERTED MILLIONS OF DIAMOND DOLLARS FOR HIS PERSONAL PURSIUT.

BRIEFLY, MY COUNTRY SIERRA LEONE IS A DIAMOND RICH COUNTRY OF ABOUT 4.5 MILLION PEOPLE BY POPULATION. SIERRA LEONE RANKS AMONGS ONE OF THE LARGEST PROCUDERS /EXPORTERS OF DIAMOND . SINCE THE BROKE OUT OF WAR IN MY COUNTRY AROUND JANUARY 1991 TILL DATE OVER 500.000 PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES AND PROPERTIES WORTH MILLION OF DOLLARS DESTROYED.

IN JANUARY ALONE MULTIPLE ASSULT, BOMBING OF FREE TOWN (CAPITAL CITY) BY THE REBELS OF THE UNITED REVOLUTIONARY FRONT (RUF) THE OPPOSITION PARTY LEAD BY REBEL FODAY SANKOH LEFT 15000 PERSONS DEAD AND 10000 WOUNDED . IF YOU DO LISTEN TO INTERNATIONAL MEDIA LIKE CNN OR BBC YOU WILL BE WELL ACQUINTED WITH THE RAGING WAR THAT HAS TORN MY TOWN INTO PIECES .

DURING THE COURSE OF OUR OPERATION/DUTIES ( MOVEMENT OF MONEY FROM SIERRA LEONE TO A NEIBHOURING WEST AFRICAN COUNTRY)IN EARLY DECEMBER 1999 FOR THE PURCHASE OF WEAPON AND LOGISTICS TO THE NATIONAL ARMY, I WAS ABLE TO DIVERT 2 IRON BOXES CONTAING US$45.000.000.00(FOURTY FIVE MILLION USA DOLLARS). AS RESULT OF THE WAR IN MY COUNTRY I DO NOT INTEND TO GO BACK TO MY COUNTRY SIERRA LEONE . I HAVE PERSONALLY DECIDED TO QUIT THE ARMY , BEARING IN MIND THAT I CAN START A NEW LIFE AND A GOOD BUSINESS WITH THE MONEY WHICH I HAVE DIVERTED TO LOME -TOGO .

DUE TO THE LARGE LIQUID CASH INVOLVED , I DEPOSITED IT WITH A SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN TOGO AND DECLEARED THE CONTENT IN THE BOXES AS FAMILY JEWELRIES AND ACCESSORIES TO AVOID THE SECURITY COMPANY RAISING EYE BROWS .

BECAUSE OF MY BACKGROUND AND IDENTITY AS A SIERRA LEONE ARMY OFFICER, I WAS UNABLE TO DIVERT THIS FUND TO ANY OVERSEA ACCOUNT TO AVOID EXPOSURE AND TO GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF THE CONSIGNMENT . I AM THEREFORE SOLICITING FOR YOUR KIND PARTICIPATION TO MOVE THIS MONEY TO YOUR ACCOUNT FOR MY INVESTMENT PECULIARITIES THROUGH YOUR ASSISTANCE.

I AM OFFERING YOU 20% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION . I WISH TO INVEST MY OWN SHARE 80% INTO A VIABLE VENTURE WITH YOU IN YOUR COUNTRY .

PLEASE DO CONTACT ME URGENTLY THROUGH THE ABOVE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION AND KEEP THIS TRANSACTION SECRET AND CONFIDENTIAL . IN ALL MESSAGE WRITE ATTN. MR A. KONE AND NOT CAPTAIN AS I WOULD NOT LIKE TO BE IDENTIFIED AS A MILITARY PERSONAL FOR NOW.

I AM ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY.

YOURS SINCERELY,

CAPT. ALIYU KONE
