Dear Friend
May I crave your indulgence to open this business discussion with you
by an
informal letter of this sort? It is pertinent that a business of this
Magnitude should have commenced properly with a formal meeting between
You
and us to enable both parties know ourselvesa and have a fore knowledge
of
the nature of the business, discuss and acquaint ourselves with the
responsibilities and roles of all parties and appropriate shares
accordingly.
As a result of the urgency, I have decided to contact you by mail to
hear
from you first before planning on the next line of action.
My Name is victor morris, I am a vault Manager with a security company
in
Ghana, a small West African Country with Togo as our next neighbour,
This project if followed according to the laid down plan, will be
successfully concluded within 10 days.
THE PROPOSITION:
In may 2003, precisely 16th, late President Gnassingbe Eyadema of Togo
now
demised, lodged 2(nos) chests in a maximum security vault in my
company
through his personal assistant Hanson Famesa who died on the 3rd of
june
shortly after the presidential elections of 2003, and who was the only
person who had a knowledge of the lodgement.
The said lodgement was done with a false identity, but the real
beneficiary
was known to me and the then computer lodgement officer of our company
Mr.
Henry.
We have been try to unravel the real contents of the packages, and have
finally confirmed that the 2(nos) chests contains US$ 17M (seventeen
million
US dollars cash in $100 bills cash, but no one else in my company knows
about the real contents, as they were declared as family valuables.
We have now decided to find a way of moving out this chests, but will
surely
request the assistance of an overseas based person, as he had stated in
his
contract form that they were for his overseas business associate.( I
will
explain this clause later)
We have made necessary arrangements to change the deed of tittle of the
ownership documents from the name of the lodger to your name as the
bonafide
beneficiary, and this will be done legally, within 3 days of your
acceptance
to work with us.
If this proposal meets your interest please get back to me as soon as
possible so I can provide more details.
Best Regards,
victor morris
