NO.25 Sarue de Bruno rd

Republiqe du Benin
Dear sir,
I got your contact while searching for somebody who
will be of immediate assistance to me , then I decided to forward
this business proposal to you with hope that it will be of benefit
to both of us.
I'm Farek Guei, the first Son of late Gen. Robert
Guei the former military ruler of ( cote d' Ivoire/ivory coast,) who
was killed on 19/9/2002 with some of his loyalist officers during a
cross fire battle between them and government troops in his
attempt to seize power through coup de eta in Abidjan on 19/9/2002 .
In brief, I have the sum of Twenty five Million Seven
Hundred Thousand united states dollars(us$25,700,000)only which I want
to move out of here with most desperation. This money was deposited
by my late father in a security company for the purpose of using it to
fine tune his administration in the invent that he succeed in the
fail coup attempt. While I was also made the sole beneficiary
and next of kin as the first son of my mother the third wife to my
father.
So because of the present situation in my country cote
d' ivoire ,my mother advised me to leave the country immediately
for security reasons, and also to look for a trust worthy foreign
partner who can assist me to transfer the money out of
Cotonou-Benin Republic to his private or company's account for
investment
As the security company had earlier rejected my application for the
withdrawal of the money because I am underaged.
Sir, I highly need your unreserved assistance both in
transferring the money to your country and also investing it in a
profitable venture with your kind advice,as I confide in you
hoping you will never betray me at last.My mother and I have proposed
(25%) percent of the total sum of the money for you as your own
commission,and (5%) for any expensis that you might incure in the
process
so that you can give us all necessary assistance and
protection we may need in our investment in your Country.
YOU WILL BE PROTECTED IN EVERY RESPECT BUT I CAN NOT UNDERTAKE ANY
EXPENSES.
Please treat
as highly confidential because our future depends on
this money. All the vital documents covering the deposit of this fund
in a security company are with me here in Cotonou, and
will be used to effect change of ownership in your favour for
subsequent transfer to any account you may wish us to use abroad.
The identity of the finance company where the fund is deposited
will be revealed to you as soon as I recieve confirmation from
you on your willingness to proceed.Even our family lawyer that
assisted my father when he was depositing the money has been approched
on this issue and he promised to give us all the legal
backing that might be required in this transfer. Reach me through
this mail box to discuss modalities on how to proceed.
Looking forward to hear from you urgently.
Best wishes.
Farek Guei
