My name is Tito 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 Thirty Five
Million United States Dollars ($35,000,000.00) CASH
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 Non-Exposable
Photographic Materials with a Security/Finance
Company in the South Africa with an anonymous name.
I am presently in South Africa seeking Asylum and to
withdrew the money from the security company and put
it into use only to discover that it is against the
human right law SECTION 22 OF THE REFUGEES ACT NO:
130 OF 1998 that asylum seekers in the country are
not allow to carry out any financial transactions.
This money can easily be with drawn or be moved to a
recommended beneficiary country. I have with me all
the proof and documents. 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, 35% of the total
sum will be your share while 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 sincerely will appreciate your
quick response. I wait to hear from you.
Regards
Tito Guei
