Dear sir,
I got your contact while searching for somebody who will be of
immediate assistance to me , then I decided to forward this business
proposal to you with hope that it will be of benefit to both of us.
I'm TOUNDE GUEI, the first Son of late Gen. Robert Guei the former
military ruler of ( cote d' Ivoire/ivory coast,) who was killed on
19/9/2002 with some of his loyalist officers during a cross fire battle
between them and government troops in his attempt to seize power through coup
de etat in Abidjan on 19/9/2002 .
In brief, I have the sum of Sixteen Million Seven Hundred Thousand
united states dollars(us$16,700,000)only which I want to move out of
here with most desperation. This money was deposited by my late father in
a security company for the purpose of using it to fine tune his
administration in the invent that he succeed in the fail coup attempt. While I
was also made the sole beneficiary and next of kin as the first son of
my mother the third wife to my father.
So because of the present situation in my country cote d' ivoire ,
my mother advised me to leave the country immediately for security
reasons, and also to look for a trust worthy foreign partner who
can assist me to transfer the money out of Cotonou-Benin Republic to
his private or company's account for investment as the security
company had earlier rejected my application for the withdrawal of
the money because I am underaged.
Sir, I highly need your unreserved assistance both in transferring the
money to your country and also investing it in a profitable
venture with your kind advice,as I confide in you hoping you will
never betray me at last.My mother and I have proposed (25%) percent of
the total sum of the money for you as your own commission,and(10%) for
any expensis that you might incure in the process so that you can give
us all necessary assistance and protection we may need in our
investment in your Country. Please treat as highly confidential because our
future depends on this money.
All the vital documents covering the deposit of this fund in a security
company are with me here in Cotonou, and will be used to effect change
of ownership in your favour for subsequent transfer to any account you
may wish us to use abroad.
The identity of the finance company where the fund is deposited
will be revealed to you as soon as I recieve confirmation from
you on your willingness to proceed.Even our family lawyer that
assisted my father when he was depositing the money has been approched
on this issue and he promised to give us all the legal backing that
might be required in this transfer. Please on your acceptance Reach me
through this mail box to toundeguei@hahooa.com for us to discuss
modalities on how to proceed.
Looking forward to hearing from you urgently.
Best wishes.
TOUNDE Guei
