Dear,
I know this message will come to you as a surprise but you need not to worry as this is the only secured and confidential medium available to seek for a foreign assistance in this project.
In brief, my name is Mr. Victor Guei, the son of the former president of Cote D’Ivoire General Robert Guei. After the death of my late Father with my senior Brother, I and my Mother managed to move into Lome, Togo with the proof of deposit certificate where my late Father deposited the total sum of Seven Million, Two hundred and Fifty thousand United States Dollars (US$7,250.000.00) with a Security and Finance Company in Europe before he died. Before my Father's death, he fore- seen what will happen in time, he then used his power while on active service to move the Trunk box containing the said fund (US$7,250.000.00) into Europe and deposited with a Security and Finance Firm as Family Valuables (For Security reasons).
Now that new Democratic Government is in power and the country is still in crisis, we can not go back to Cote D’Ivoire hence our life is in danger. Thus, we remain here in Lome, Togo to save my life and my Mother. Imagine us under going all this stress because of power. We are not comfortable here because of some political crisis going on here between the new Government and opposition. Thus, I contact you for your
immediate assistant.
It is my consensus to seek your assistance to provide me with the facilities to move and invest this money in your country. This is born out of my believe that I can not invest the money within since we are under hiding. This is the reason why I need your assistance. What I require from you is to go to Europe and claim the fund on my behalf and move it into your country. Bearing in mind that your assistance is highly needed, you will be compensated with 30% of the total sum for your noble assistance,while 70% will be held on trust for me and my Mother for further investment in your country which your advise and expertise will be required for a meaningful investment.
The project is expected to be successfully completed as quickly as possible if you accord me the maximum co-operation needed from you. Upon conclusion of arrangement with you, I will forward to you, the necessary documents and information regards the deposit of this money with a Security and Finance firm. I solicit for your unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this project.
I therefore request you to confirm your interest over this business by a return message through this e-mail address: vicguei112@hotmail.com
Thanks and God bless.
Mr. Victor Guei.
