Hello,
Compliments of the day.With the good refence made of your esteemed
Person/office by the chamber of commerce here in Accra Ghana,I hereby wish
to commence talk with you on a high confidential level.
I amTata Doe Liberian by nationality and presently staying with my younger
brother and mother in the refugee camp here in Accra Ghana.My father was a
paramount Chief of a rish diamond and district during president Samuel Doe's
GOVERNMENT.During the recent war crisis in my country my father was
captured and killed by the Junta rebel who accused him of miss-appropriate
of fund and bezzlement.Shortly after his death,I and the rest of the family
escaped to Ghana for safety.
However in Ghana,my mother showed me some documents indicating that my
father kept $28 million USD(twenty eight million US Dollars) in a security
company here in Ghana.At the moment,I and my mother are soliciting for your
assistance to arrange to receive this money on my behalf and resettle
this fund in a wise,politically stable economy like your country for a
viable investment after we have collected it from the security company.The
money was put in a consignment for safekeeping and the consignment
containing the funds was declared as "Africa Arts and family Treassure"to
the
management of the security company.Your assistance is required because our
status as refugee does not permit us to handle big cash here,and will also
be expected to provide us with your information on investment opportunities
in your country.We do not wish to contact any of my fathers business partner
because we do not know who exactly caused his death.
My main reason of contacting you is for your co-operation.For you to assist
the family in removing this funds out of the security company in your favour
and ours as well.Moreover to help us use the fund carefully for
investment.All the necessary documents are at my reach.We confide in you as
a trust-worth person to act on good faith.THE PROCEEDURE OF CLAIM:I can
change the right of ownership to yours through a legal proceedure to enable
fast and smooth cliaim.Then we can arrange for the consignment to be
transported through diplomatic means to either Europe or USA where you will
receive the money on our behalf.
Finally and most importantly,how will I be rest assured that you will act on
good faith?Since your articulars will appear on every vital document as the
owner of fund.Kindly let me know the mode of your assistance you want to
offer,in form of a contract or agreement?If so then let me know how
many percentage you think that you deserve in this transaction.Please let me
know so as to avoid any form of greed or getting ambitious.If the percentage
you require is not ideal on my side then we re-negotiate or call it a
day.PLEASE KINDLY CALL ME:
Best Regards,
Tata Doe.
(For the family)
