Mr.felix _Owusu,
Accra -Ghana
Hello Dear,
I have been briefed to contact you because of your passion for humanity and
sympathy for people with just causes.
My IS myfelix_ Owusu, a citizen of liberian, from a very prominient and
renowned family. Presently, i am staying with my two junior sisters and my
aged mother, who is 57yrs old now as refugee in Bujuburam Refugee Camp in
Ghana.
My father was a renowed diamond merchant in liberian who uses to travel to
different parts of Africa because of his business, it was during one of his
numerous travels that he learnt of a coup 'd' etat in our country which
claimed many lives and my father's senior brother who was a brigadier in the
army was killed which led to witch-hunting of some prominient people from
our family. Because of the unfavourable situation in our country ,my father
deposited an amount of US$15.5million and 205g of alluvial gold dust and an
unknown quantity of diamond in a security company in Ghana in the name of my
mother .
This information was given to me by my mother when she was lying critically
ill in her sick bed.She had handed over all documents covering the above
transaction to me and i am looking for a trustworthy personality to put
heads together to retrieve this consignments from the security company which
had been kept in a sealed metallic box and labelled family treasure.
I have get in touch with the security company to know if all is well and
with the document and security reference number, i was informed that the box
is still in their custody and intact.
We are ready to compensate with 20% out of the total amount and 5% set aside
for any expenses that will incureld during this transaction.
Please, with all due respect i will like you to reply this mail so that i
will know what we are to do to get this consignment out of this country to
overseas for subsequent investment.
Hope to hear from you soon.
