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 and to offer you 35% for your wholesome assistance
to us.
Furthermore, we have all the vital documents covering the fund/gold bearing
my late father's name as the depositor which I can send to you on your
request as soon as you provide me your contact phone and fax numbers.
Please contact me immediately you receive this mail to enable me detail you
additional information, please I wnat you to consider this proposal very
serious as your own personal problem, is not like other scam and junk mails
