ATTN: I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE PLEASE...........
URGENT ASSISTANCE
I am writing you this letter with due respect and heart full of tears, I need your assistance, I got your contacts through the Ghana Information Exchange (G.I.E) here in Ghana , and I decided to ask for your assistance. For the purpose of introduction, I am Miss Sophia Dotse, a young lady, not married, and the only duagther of the late Mr. SMITH DOTSE and late Mrs. AMANDA DOTSE.
My father (MR SMITH DOTSE) was a very rich and wealthy Gold and Diamond Trader in MOMBASA city in the REPUBLIC OF KENYA . My father was shot on the 30th of November 2008 on his way going to the MOMBASA international airport KENYA to SOUTH AFRICA, He eventually died on 2nd of December 2008 in MOMBASA General hospital KENYA, before his death, he told me that he has the sum of (US$14.5 MILL ION), also with Gold Dust worth about (US$11.5 MILLIONS) which he deposited in one of the Private Security Company in KOFORIDUA, GHANA WEST AFRICA. The fund was deposited in one box as a consignment and was declared as a family treasure, with the security company to avoid seizure and also to avoid high demurrage from the security company. My late father was a dealer of Gold and Diamond and he made his money there.
He also told me that it was because of this money he was shot by his business partners while he was on a business trip to South Africa with them. And he instructed me to look for a foreign partner who has the fear of God to assist me transfer these funds (money) out of the Republic of Ghana , and invest it for me. All the entire documents my late father signed with the security company is with me. Since my father died I am living in Ghana as an asylum seeker and the Ghana Policy does not allow such investment for any asylum seekers.
My purpose of contacting you is to assist me transfer this money to your country, before these people who killed my father find out that I am living in Ghana .
Those that killed my father are also after my life and they want to kill me and claim this money from the security company, why because some of my late father's bad friends that killed my father knows that my father has money with one Private Security company here in Ghana. That is why I'm hiding myself here in Ghana , so that they will not see me. If my proposal is accepted by you, I promise to give you 30% of the money for your assistance to transferring this money to your nominated bank account in your country, then while 10% will be set aside for local and international expenses, and then the 60% will be kept for me, but you will have to assure me that you will assist me fully to transfer this money into your bank account. I hope you will not betray the trust I have in you. Because this money is my only hope in my life. And more over, you will assist me to come over to your country, where I will be able to settle down for my life. You will also
assist me to i!
invest this money in your country
I am looking forward for your urgent respond, God bless you and your family..
