Subject: Business enquiry.
Greetings and compliments of the day,
I write to solicit for your co-operation for a mutual investment in your country. I am from an elite family in Haiti. My family have some funds which we intend to invest in any good and safe investment in your country. For your further clarifications, I am obliged to give you a brief introduction of my family and the source of our fund.
My late father was the administrator in charge of public wealth under the former President JEAN-BERTRAND ARISTIDE of Haiti. In his capacity as the administrator of public wealth, my father was also in charge of the reconstruction of my country, Haiti. During his time in government, my father was able to make some personal funds deposition with a Finance & Security Company in Europe for the benefit of my family. We have now earmarked this fund for this investment in any viable investment sector. After the death of my father, and as the first son of my father, I take care of our family business interests and we now want to move this fund out for a quite and safe investment and we need your assistance to claim and move the fund to your country for investment in any viable business sector.
Meanwhile, in order to ensure the safety and secrecy of the fund, my father deposited the fund with the Security & Finance firm under a condition that it belongs to a foreign person who should be the final and ultimate beneficiary of the fund at the time of claim. This he did for the purposes of confidentiality and safety of the fund. Due to this clause in the deposit agreement, before the fund can be released, the ownership of the fund has to be transferred to a second party as the ultimate beneficiary of the fund. For this reason, we earnestly need your co-operation to stand in as the final beneficiary and owner of the fund so that we may issue the transfer of the right of claim to you on behalf of my family to enable the Security & Finance Company release the fund to you.
We are prepared to reward you adequately if you can assist my family claim and receive the fund into your account for investment. If you give me your word of honour to co-operate with us as outlined, then we would conclude arrangements to transfer the ownership of the fund to your names and subsequently transfer the fund to you for our joint investment. Let me therefore know if you are ready to co-operate with us so that I may give you further details of the transaction.
I expect your understanding and look forward to doing business with you.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Reynald Brown.
