Subject: GET BACK TO ME PLS
Dear Sir,
I send this message to you, demanding anxiously for
urgent assistance.I made up my mind to forward this
offer to you, after brief outstanding information I
read concerning you, in internet where I got your
contact.I am Mr Kone Guei,the son of General Robert
Guéï,ex-military leader of Cote d'ivoire.My father was
shot dead on September 19 2002, in fighting involving
hundreds of mutinous soldiers in Abidjan, capital of
the Ivory Coast,
My mother also was killed while having lunch with my
father that faithful day.Immediately, it occurred to
me that the whole family life is in danger.Obviously I
stumbling escape out of the country to Accra,Ghana
were i am now taking a refuge.I am making this contact
to you requesting for an urgent assistant for the
remmitance of USD$42,000,000.00(Forty two million
united states dollars only}kept in a security company
in Accra Ghana by my late father.
The fund was secretly deposited with the security
company by my father as a gift items to his foreign
partner abroad some years ago when he was in power.
However,the content of the boxes was not properly
declared as money.My father legally declared the
contents as an irrevocable/unconditional (Unknown)
gift items to his foreign partner overseas.
Invariably,no name was nominated in the contract
agreement documents as the name of the foreign partner
of my father who suppose to be recognized as the legal
beneficiary of the deposit in accordance with the
deposit terms and conditions.The situation right now
is your acceptance by the security company as the
beneficiary of the boxes since my father does not
nominate anyone's name as the mane of his foreign
business partner who suppose to be recognized as the
legal beneficiary of the deposit.
I am therefore, you to contact the security company
immediately from there,either by email,fax or by
telephone to introduce your self to them as a foreign
business partner to my late father.You will need to
write a letter of introduction that will properly
introduced you as a foreign partner to my father and
also a beneficiary of the said two trunk boxes with
reference to the deposit terms and conditions.
As soon as i receive your response,I will be sending
you the fund deposit documents which discribed the
deposit terms and conditions so you can have a clear
understanding regarding the deposit condition.
With Kind Regards,
Brother Kone Guei.
