Dear Sir.
I believe this email message will meet you in a good condition of health? My
name is Kessy G. Funa, from Liberia, West Africa. I write to inform you of
my desire to invest, and to buy a living house in your country. I am the
first Son of Mr. Goe Funa; my father was a diamond/gold Merchant in my
country.
My father had a bullet shot by the rebels on his way traveling out of my
country with two of my younger brother's due to the present crisis that is
occurring in our country (Liberia). My brother's died on the spot while the
UN peacemaker, keeping force rescued my father, and he was taken to hospital
for medical treatment, of which he later died.Before he died he revealed to
my mother and I about the two silver metallic boxes containing: 200kilogram
of au gold dust and $10.5 million, (Ten million and five hundred thousand
U.S dollars), which he deposited with a security company here in Ghana for
safekeeping.
My father did not disclose the content of the boxes to the security company
to avoid the officials from raising eyebrows to the funds. Presently my
mother and I are here in Ghana to notify the security company for the
claims, we are here as refugees.
Therefore I want you to come down here in Ghana and be our beneficiary to
this funds and withdraw this funds out from the security company as the
direct beneficiary of this consignment and also direct me on how best we can
invest this money, because my father told me that it is dangerous to invest
this money in Africa to avoid suspicions, and due to market instability
coupled with economic and political instability facing African countries
rise, that is why we want to invest in Abroad.
For your mutual assistance, my mother and I have agreed to offer you 30% of
the total amount of the money. We have all the vital documents covering the
deposit and the ownership, which I can send to you on request.
Note: I will like you to keep this as confidential as ever as you forward to
me your fax and phone or mobile numbers for easy Communications. Waiting for
your urgent response.
Best regards,
Kessy G. Funa,
For the entire family.
