Dear, sir/madam
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 carrying 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. It is without any risk.
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. My email ID: ttttguei@yahoo.com along with your Telephone Number
if you are interested to assist me. I sincerely will appreciate your quick
response. I wait to hear from you.
Regards,
Mr.Tito Guei
