Warm Regards,
I sincerely apologies as you do not know me and we have not heard any
communication before but hope you understand why i have to send you this mail
to you at this point in time.
Firstly let me briefly introduce myself, I am Mr. Ahmed Muhammad al-Hasan the
son of Mr.Husin, Muhammad al-Hasan from Sudan the ungoing war torn country.
My father was the former Governor Central Bank of Sudan,before their
government was overthrown by the incumbent triabalistic government,my father
suffered a heart attack and died last year due to the injuries he substained
during his interogation as comfirmed by the doctors.
Before the death of my father,he told me that he has deposited the sum of
10.5 million dollars in a security/finance company in Ghana, he handed me
over all the relevant documents and told me that this money is in a truck box
deposited/registered as precious items and family valuables which means that
the company does not know the true content of what was being deposited with
them, he warned that this should not be disclosed to the company to avoid
confiscation, he also told me in case something happens to him that i should
look for a trust and reliable white man to assist me invest this money in a
very political stable country overseas.
As the war escalates and we became a prime target I decided to run to Ghana
with my only junior brother were I am residing at the moment, presently what
is only needed for the company to release this money known by the company as
precious items and family valuables is to present a foriegn partner as
indicated by the agreement my father reached with the company during
deposition,so i request to ask for your assistance to act as my father's
foriegn partner to enable the company release this fund to you as there was
no name indicated by my father to the company.
Please this is the only problem I have now and it is this above money and the
political instability in my country that made me write you, I am counting on
you and believing that you will assist me in this, further details about it
including all the relevant documents will be forwarded to you immediately I
hear from you.You can also call me directly on this number 233-27-7402367.Plz
I want to entrust my life into your hand now believing that you will not
betray the trust I am about to repose on you.
I am hoping to hear from you or call me once you receive this mail if you
have questions to ask me don’t hesitate to do so, but plz keep this
confidential,use my alternative/private email address:ahmed_alhasan@juno.com

Phone number for easier communication. Plz note that there is no risk
involved whatsoever be rest assured,all that is needed now is for me to get
to know you more and the trust,then i will forward all the relevant documents
which you can use to claim this fund from the company on our behalf.Every
details will be made known to you immediately i hear from you and plz keep
this very confidencial and be rest assured that there is no risk
