My Dear Foreign Partner,
My greatest dream and aim in life now is to buy a house and settle in your
country where I wish to go into investment or do a profitable business that
will enable me to bring up my own family .The capital I intended to use for
the investment is the funds I inherited from my late father (Dr Solata
Kobarho) who was a Gold & Diamond merchant in the Konor District Of
Sierra-Leone before he was brutally murdered by the rebels for advocating
democracy in the country. Before he was killed he deposited two metallic
boxes in a security company here in Ghana. One of the boxes contain U.S$15M
(Fifteen Million U.S Dollars) and the other one contains 161 Kilogram of
Gold. all was deposited in my names as the only surviving eldest son.
The reason why I decided that you represent me as a foreign partner in your
country is that, I will have no access to these boxes as the heir to the
treasure because my late father signed agreement with a shipping company
here in Ghana in co-lab oration with our family lawyer that the boxes should
be transported out of Africa to Europe before I should I be given the legal
right to take over the boxes. Therefore, before he died he assigned the
shipping company with order of our family lawyer to transport the boxes to
one of his former foreign business partner in Europe called Mr. Brown
Kenderick that when he has received it he should send for me to come over
and handle it to me. Unfortunately, it is so sad to hear early this morning
that the so called Mr. Brown Kenderick who is to receive the consignments
has died in a auto crash in attempt to effect the shipment of the
consignments.
Now, that Mr. Brown Kenderick has DIED, I did not want to wait any longer to
get the boxes out of Africa therefore, I as the rightful heir to the
consignments decided to seek for your immediate assistance to act as a
foreign partner to me now so that the boxes can be transported to you in
your country when you have receive it you can deposit it in a bank on your
private account for safe keeping after that you will now invite me to come
over to your country so that you can help me to achieved my dream and aim of
investing in your country.
Kindly, reply me with interest, so that I can inform my family lawyer right
now to prepare the CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE in your names and change
all other documents to your names so that you can be the beneficiary to the
boxes and have the legal power to receive the boxes at the airport.
Try and keep this to yourself because you are the only person that known of
this delivery of the boxes. Be very honest to me as you as you are about to
receive the boxes in your county because theses treasure is where I will
build my life and bring up a family .I need your maximum co-operation to get
the boxes out of Africa now.
Waiting for your immediate reply
Martin Kobarho.
