Dear Friend
It is with greate pleasure and honesty to get across to you for a very
urgent and profitable business proposal, and it is of greate interest that
we
relate to each other well hence from this moment despite the fact that I
don't
know you neither have I seen you before but my confidence was reposed on
you when I came across your contact in one of the directory for an
independent foreigner company/individual who can represent my interest well
as I search for a credible overseas partner to do business with.
I am the Eldest son of late Mr.Ansar Mensah. My father while he was alive
was a very successful business man and also a very lovely father.I and my
family came to realised that he had deposited (Money) with a financial
Institute by name Westcoast security company which total the sum of US10
Million (Ten Million U.S.Dollars) about 2 years before his death in 2004.
Until today My self and my Family member has made several attempts to
collect
the funds from the security company but all our effort has proved abortive
because my father before he died gave a standing instruction to the
Then administrative manager of the Financial Institute that in case of his
enventuality( he was suffering from Cancer of the Liver) under no Condition
should this funds be released to us without Members of my family
providing/presenting a reputable investor who will stand as our family
investor and present a good investment plan before the money can be released
to us.
Now with all the conditions of the Financial Institute as placed by my late
father, I would want you to front as my family investor so that we can
successfully collect this funds ($10m)from the Financail institute.
After the collection of this funds, we can indeed go into a profitable
investment that would be recommended by you otherwise we would all go
separate
ways if you want. In actual fact,we already have a Copy of the Certificate
of Deposit in our possession and this we will use to perfect all necessary
documents and swear to an affidavit of claims in a court of law to back up
your claims that youare our investor for the past 5 years.
The whole procedures will last only four working days to get the Box
containing
the money (US$10Million) retrieved successfully.
Your response is only what we are waiting for as we have arranged all
necessary
things. As soon as this message comes to you kindly get back to me
indicating
your interest, Then I will furnish you with the whole procedures to ensure
that the deal is successfully concluded.
For your assistance we shall agree on a percentage sharing when we've come
into an agreement but i am willing to give you 15%. while 5% will cover any
expense you and i may eventually incure in collection of the Fund.
Please for security reasons, all futher correspondence should be address
to ( jransar@k.ro ) only.
I await your earliest response.
Thanks,
Yours Sincerely,
Ansar Mensah Jr.
