Reply-To: [email protected]
Dear Sir,
I am Ahmed Dadah, a Libyan citizen, presently residing in Ghana. My father was killed at Tripoli and his business office burnt down because of his closeness to President Mummar Gaddafi. The President tried all he could to make peace with the rebel groups but their demand is that president Gaddafi must be forced to step down, which is not democratic in culture. President Gaddafi is a peace loving person, as has pleaded that there be in place a transition committee that will see to the conduct of an election that will usher in an elected candidate but the opposition rejected the call and vowed to force the president out. If the opposition thinks that they are popular, they would have accepted to have a transition committee and general election will be conducted and let us who is popular.
Anyway, let me not take your time with the situation in Libya as my family is mostly affected. I lost my father, his business in Tripoli and most of the family?s asset because they said that my father is too close to President Gaddafi. Well, in any case, I still thank Allah for his mercy, as I was able to take away two boxes that contained huge amount of money. I want to invest and I must make use of the money in your country, as we all are aware that the war still continues in Libya and I cannot risky investing in Libya.
I have taken the picture of the funds and attached is herewith. Let me have your delivery/home/office address, so that I can arrange to send the money directly to you in your address. I will join you as soon as you confirm the receipt of the money. You can get across to me via Tel number: +233-54-3732433 or email me through my below email address.
Let me stop here, hoping that you will respond promptly.
Thanks for your understanding my situation.
Regards,
