Dear,
I am JOHN MICHAEL.son of late Gen. Hanis
MICHAEL Chief of Defence staff of Guinea Bissau who
was assassinated late last year in a bloody encounter.
Before his death, he deposited the sum of US$ 23
million in a Security Company here Abidjan in a box
for safe keeping and declared it as belonging to his
foreign partner without the knowledge of the Guinean
Government.
This fund and some more were earlier approved by the
Government for the purchases of arms from France,
through the son of former head of state of France
ex-President François Mitterand for executing and
controlling the rebels incursions into Guinea from
bother Sierra Leon and Liberia.
It was after the hasty burial of my father under
military accolade that I discovered a Certificate of
Deposit in my father’s underground safe issued him by
a Security Company here in Abidjan. And when I showed
it to my mother, she decided that we should
immediately sneak away to here Abidjan to confirm the
deposits with the fear of anticipation of ravages of
war and impending holocaust spreading into the streets
of Guinea.
A day after our arrival here, we confirmed the deposit
and decided hence now the son of ex-President
Mitterand is facing trial for his alleged involvement
in the supply of armunitions to Angola and some
African Countries (his normal business) without the
mention of my dads intention with him. It is in the
best intention of my mother and me to ask you to
assist us to claim the fund as my late father’s
foreign partner.
We wish to find out if you could thus:
1- Permit us to use your name as the beneficiary of
this consignment in the security company hence he
never declared any name.
2- We would want to provide a foreign bank account
into which we can transfer this fund preferably where
taxation will not take a greater toll on the money.
3- I would also want you to introduce me to a
profitable business to invest the fund that does not
require deep technical expertise.
My mother and I have agreed to give you a certain
percentage which is negotiable. Should you agree to
assist us.
Please handle this matter with absolute secrecy as the
safety of the fund and our life depends on this.
I shall be happy to hear from you at the earliest
possible time.
Please send me a reply by email address for the secret
confidential of the deal.
Thanks,
Best Regards
JOHN MICHAEL.
