Subject: Attn- CEO-From you advert on the internert
I am pleased to write you,I got your email through your advert on the
internet.I am a young man from republic of Liberia west africa,I am
presently in Ghana from where I write you.
I have inherited huge funds from my late father who passed on not too long
ago but I have some difficulties in accessing the funds and need assistance
from overseas to be able to access the funds.I am contacting you to make
this request to you.
I have inherited US$37million from my father who was brutally murdered one
year ago.My father was among a cartel of diamond merchants in west Africa.He
was brutally murdered by people believed to be business associates fighting
for control and dorminance of this trade.Immediately after his murder my
uncles and other siblings took over my fathers assets and they also made an
attempt to kill me to take full control of my fathers assets but I was lucky
to escape an attempt on my life.
Because of many troubles my father was having with his business rivals prio
to his death,for safety reasons he moved out of Liberia US$37million to a
neighbouring country Ghana for safekeeping and told me in the event of his
death I should inherit it.After his murder I became target for his rivals
who also want to kill me,I quickly fled Liberia with all the documents about
the funds to the neighbouring country Ghana where my father secured the
funds.
My intention now is to access the funds from Ghana and invest all the money
in overseas country for safety because I do not intend to invest it in my
country.
I have some difficulties accessing the funds and I need you to help me in
accessing and investing the money in your country .I am willing to offer to
you 20% of my total inheritance if you could help me do this.For secuirity
reason I will not disclose every detail in this first mail to you but would
like to know if you have interest in my request before I can disclose other
details .If you are interested in this request contact me.
