Subject: ASSISTANCE/INVESTMENT
Dear Friend,
My name is Attah Seidu Bukari, I am 30 years old and I am from brong ahafo, Ghana,
Western Africa. I would be very glad if you can be my foreign guarantor to help me
claim and invest us$10m that I inherited from my late father's on any profitable
business ventures over there in your country. I will offer you 25% for your
assistance render while you will assist me invest part of my own 80% on any
profitable business venture there in your country.
The fund is sealed airtight in a two aluminiun boxes. The two boxes is presently
deposited in a security company. My father's didn't registered the contents of the
boxes as funds, he registered it as his family treasury bill for many security
reasons. I am the next of kin to my late father vault account.
Now, I have contacted the security company for the claim of my late father's
deposited boxes but due to my underage {30 years old}, the security company are
demanding for a guarantor that will claim the boxes for me to avoid a future
controversy. My father registered me to be 35 years old above before having
access or right to withdraw the boxes.
What I need from you is to send me your full name, personal contact address,
personal telephone number with attach copy of your international passport or
drivers license so that I can put in an application letter with this your
information and foraward to the security company as my foreign guarantor. I will
change the new ownership certificate to your name so we can have a power of
attorney to athourize the security company to let me withdraw the two boxes on
your behalf.
Immediately I withdraw the boxes and access the fund, I will then open a local
bank account in your name here in africa and deposit the whole amount into this
local bank account. We don't need your personal banking information, immediatley,
I lay my hands on the fund, I will even send you us$25,000 to use in opening of a
virgin foreign account in your name over there in your country. I will submit the
banking information to the local bank to onward transfer the fund from your local
bank account into your opened virgin foreign account in your country.
While transfering the fund to your opened foreign account, We will obtain all the
necessary documents that will proof the source of this fund to your bank or
country that the source of this fund is not money laundering, anti-terrorist
money, drug traficking money or an embezzled money from government account.
I will be waiting to hear from you soon so I can tell you what next to do. I will
also send you a deposit certificate for your verification.
Best Regards,
Attah Seidu Bukari.
