Subject: Proposal
Attention:Jeroen Bertels ,
I wish to use this opportunity to introduce my self to you.I humbly hereby ask for your assistance to enable me transfer $18M and 200kg of Gold dust(pure Alluvial gold dust) my late father kept in a Security Vault Company in Accra-Ghana before he died.He deposited it as family valuable for the officials not to know the true content. My name is Mr. Francis Addo,my mother’s name is Madam Janet Addo and my late father’s name is Chief O. Amoah Addo.
He was a gold and diamond merchant from Ashanti region of Ghana in West Africa.
My late father said that the funds was made from gold and diamond sales.
I am from a polygamous family and my father has four wives and twenty-four children, am the eighth child and my mother is the last wife of my father and he
entrusted all his valuable documents to my mother. Since we are from a polygamous home, after the death of my father, the whole family has been deserted. Now my elder brothers, sisters and their mothers are in search of my father’s documents but my mother who is in possession of the documents has refused to disclose
the custodian of the documents to them, because they are all fighting for themselves and their selfish interest.
Right now all I want from you is your assistance where we can instruct the Security Vault Company to transfer this Money and Gold to you. We are making this
arrangement on behalf of the other children and their mothers. We have also contacted the Security Vault Company here in Ghana for the claim and everything is
okay.
All necessary machineries have been put in place to necessitate the smooth transfer of the money and Gold to any nominated person of our choice. The original document of the transaction including the pin code has been couriered to the Security Vault Company by our family lawyer Barrister Laryea.
My mother is the next of kin to my Father’s Estates, as shown in the legal documents, please kindly help us to effect this transaction, it is for the mutual
benefit of both parties, We have map out 5% for any expenses, you will be entitle to twenty percent of the funds, as our family foreign business partner and Beneficiary,
Please reply immediately with your information details so that we can forward the information to the Security Vault Company in Ghana to expedite the transfer
immediately. Could you also include your contact address, fax numbers and your private mobile phone number for easy communication.
