Subject: Mail From:Mr. Ralph Guei
Compliments of the day,
My name is Ralph Guei the Son of late General Robert Guei, the
Ex-Military Head of State of Ivory Coast, who was murdered along
with the Interior Minister on the 19th of September 2002 (You can visit
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2269238.stm for complete report
on this incident).
I contacted you because of my need to deal with persons whom my
family and I have had no previous personal relationships. Since the
murder of my father, I have been subjected to all sorts of harassment
and intimidation with lots of negative reports emanating from the
Government and the press about my family.
The present Government has also ensured that our bank accounts are
Frozen and all assets seized. It is in view of this that I seek your
co-operation and assistance in the transfer of the sum of Twenty
Seven Million United States Dollars (US$27,000,000.00) being the very
last of my family fund in my possession and control, after the murder
of
my father the Federal Government seized all our properties and our
accounts both local and international was frozen.
My only hope now is this cash that my father carefully packaged
and deposited as artifacts with a Security/Finance Company in the
South Africa with an anonymous name. The said sum can easily be with
drawn or paid to a recommended beneficiary who have the deposit
certificate.
Now based on the problem my family is having presently, I will
want to use your details to reproduce a new certificate of deposit so
that you will be able to claim this fund from the security company, My
aim
of doing this is to make sure that my family name dose not associate
with the fund in the security company, As we do not wish to give room
for any suspicion.
To show my preparedness and appreciation to carry-out this
business With you, 25% of the total sum will be your share and 20%
commission
of the proceeds realized from the investment of this fund will also be
yours, also 5% is to be set aside for any eventual cost that might
arise
as the transaction proceeds.I need your full support and co-operation
for the success of this transaction.
I plead with you to treat this issue confidential and urgent because it
Is delicate and it demands a great degree of secrecy. I am presently in
South Africa seeking Asylum. You can mail me with the email address
below, if you are interested to assist me.
I sincerely will appreciate your response.I wait to hear from you.
Regards,
Mr. Ralph Guei.
