Dear Friend,
Introduction:
I know this letter may come to you as a surprise. I am Miss Sophia Robert
Guei, the only daughter who survived the massacre of the late general
Robert Guei who was the formal military junta and president of Ivory -Coast
. I am in South Africa where I am taken refugee with my younger
brother.
I and my brother wish to employ your services to act as our proxy to claim
the sum of 45million USD
from the finance house which the money was deposited by my late father with
my name as the next of kin, before we come over to meet with you.
All you will need to do is to contact the finance house where these money is
deposited and open another account online, then I will write an order for
the
bank to transfer the money into the account that you will open as my
beneficiary.
Once this is achieved my father's name will be completely erased from the
transaction and it make the whole thing risk free from the incumbent
government
of my country ,president Laurel Gbagbo who is a foe of my family.
Upon request I will scan and send to you the certificate of deposit for your
perusal before the transaction commences.
Considering the effort you will put in the transaction,starting from the
opening of the account to the investment of the money we are willing to
concede 25%
of the money to you as compensation, while we will write an asset management
agreement between us for you to invest the remaining75% .
We will want to know you well and therefore you are
expected to send to us your CV as well as any other means of proper
Identification. Even though the transaction will be based on mutual trust.
Please if this proposal interests you , please make sure you get back to me
.
