Subject: URGENT, REPLY SOON.
Hello,
This letter may come as a surprise to you, but from a sincere mind with
honest desire for assistance to establish mutual business relationship with
you. I am seeking for a honest, trust worthy and God fearing individual who
might assist me in implementing investment instructions as left for me by my
late father Mr. Frank Nzanga of blessed memory.
In brief introduction, I am the first son of Mr. Frank NzAnga. He was an
Importer and also a Gold and Diamond dealer in New Orleans {U S A}. On the
18h of May 2005, my father was diagnosed cancer of the blood and was
admitted in the general hospital New Orleans. This gave me great concern
because I am motherless. I was with my father in the hospital praying for a
miracle. I never new the worst will happen not until the storm of hurricane
turned my life apart. I was with my father in the hospital during the storm.
When the hurricane is getting out of hand, my father advises me to leave to
my country Accra, Ghana. I never knew the disaster will come to this extend.
During the disturbance of the hurricane my father died in the general
hospital. All our properties has been destroyed by the strong wind of the
hurricane. I am presently in London, United Kingdom working very hard for a
living.
However, during the disturbances and prior to my Father’s death, he gave me
a certificate meant for a secret deposit he made in a security company in
Amsterdam. The deposit is worth Twelve Million US Dollars ($12,000,000) in
cash, concealed and securely locked in one trunk box. The box was placed
under privilege deposit and declared as containing Gold and precious stones.
None of the security company officials are aware of the original content of
the box. According to my father, part of the money was paid to the
corporation by it overseas customer. My father made the deposit and
instructed the security company that his foreign partner will come for the
claim after five years. Presently I am in London and have contacted the
security company to confirm the deposit and establish ownership as (next of
kin). But I was advised that I should come with my father’s foreign partner
before they release the box to me. Right now, I need your assistance
urgently in moving this fund to your country to start a new life, when the
fund is properly secured we will jointly invest in yielding stock and
business on your advice in your country.
I am ready to give you 30% of the total cash for your immediate assistance
because I can not do these on my own due to my status and ignorance of the
business world. Your urgent reply indicating interest will help me in no
small measure to stop further contact, all other details will be made known
to you and more importantly you have to treat this transaction as
confidential as the hope of my survival is placed on this money. Moreover, I
want to use part of this fund to assist those affected in the disaster. Send
me a mail for more details as soon as you receive this mail.
Awaiting your immediate response, God bless you.
Regards.
Stefan Nzanga
