My Father Colonel James T. Bumbo until his death recently was the paymaster of the ECOMOG forces, the West African peacekeeping force of Liberia and Sierra Leone. Unfortunately he died just when Freetown was just been liberated, he was killed by the Major Koromah junta before they were dislodged, but thank God he left a huge fund portfolio which he wanted me to invest abroad should anything happen to him.

I was compelled to write you because I am not so vast in huge investment opportunities abroad where I now plan to resettle with my mother due to the political instability here in cotonou, Republic of Benin.

If you are conversant with any profitable investment in your country and do not wish to take advantage of a naïve bereaved person, please furnish me urgently with your private telephone and fax number via my e-mail address to enable me assess your person and give you details of how fund could be sent across to your country.

Yours faithfully,

MICHEL BUMBO (MR)

I don't think so!
