Dear Friend,
Transfer of USD10million/100kg raw gold
We make this contact to you in respect of our plights and we hope by the
special grace of God you will give kind attention to our request.
I am John Doncuyun, 30yrs old from Liberia residing in Buduburam Refugee
Camp, Accra Ghana, with two of my younger ones, Rose and Ruth. here is the
website of Refugee Camp in Accra Ghana:

We are contacting you on our desire to invest in your country and to buy a
living bungalow in your country where I and my two younger ones will live
and run our investment through your assistance and we will like to invest
part of the fund/gold in your establishment as soon as the fund/gold is
transferred into your account I and my two younger ones will prepare to come
over to meet you for onward investment. We regret to inform you about our
misfortunes, our parents Mr. & Mrs. Doncuyun were shot on their way for
business trip in Liberia, during the past crisis/war in Liberia, our mother
died on a spot, while our father died in hospital as a result of this, both
died in such ugly inccident in the hospital but before our father died he
revealed to me and to my two younger ones about the
100kg/USD10,000,000.00 he deposited in financial company in Accra Ghana as
family valuables for safe keeping. Our late parents were gold merchants
worldwide. Presently, I and my younger ones are here in Ghana residing in
Buduburam Refugee Camp Accra Ghana to notify the Finance Company for the
claims of our late parents fund/gold deposited in their custody.
Therefore, we want you sir, to educate us on how we can invest the fund/gold
outside my country, because our father warned we shouldn't invest this
fund/gold in any part of Africa due to the following reason:
1. Market instability in our country,
2. Poor economy in our country,
3. Political instability that always facing Africa as a whole.
In view of the above reason I and my little ones had decided to carry out
our late parents dying instructions to invest the fund/gold in your
country through your assistance.
Furthermore, we have all the vital documents covering the fund/gold bearing
my late father's name as the depositor while my late mother was next of kin
which we can send to you on your request.
Please contact me immediately you receive this mail to enable me detail you
additional information, and also send me your phone and fax numbers.
Thank you for your expected action. May God bless you and your entire
family.
Yours faithfully,
John Doncuyun
