Subject: I need a responsible and trustworthy partner
Dear Sir,
This mail would come to you as a surprise but i strongly believe that for the sake of humaity you would treat this mail with utmost concern.
I am Tomas Henry, 21years old, a sudanese from the Western Region of Darfur Sudan. I am the only son and the only surviving child of Late Chief Tomas Lujata , a renowed politician, a gold and diamond merchant in the Western Region of Darfur.
My mother and two sisters , after been abused sexually , were shot dead in our sitting room and my father taken alive by rebels of the Southern Sudan peoples Liberation Movement ( SPLM ) of Salva- Kiir. They accused my father of sponsoring and suppling arms and ammunitions to the opposition group , The National Congress Party ( NCP ) in Western Region of Darfur. They took my father to Juba, the capital of the South, where they brutally murdered my father by cutting him into pieces and depositing his body on the road.
I packed my belongings including my father's briefcase containing vita family documents and escaped for my life. Been displaced as a result of this war, i seek asylum in Ghana as a refugee after discovery in my fathers briefcase, that he deposited the sum of $ 35 m USD, with Ghana Commercial Bank .
Owing to the law passed by the Ghanian Government to deal with culprits involved in corrupt practices of embezzlement of Government Fund which has also prompted the scruntinization of many accounts in various Banks in Ghana by the Ghanian Government, and because of the volume of the money involved, i deemed it fit and neccessary to transfer this fund to a foreign account in overseas.
This would ensure the safety of the fund and also avoid raising unneccessary eyebrow in this respect, as accounts of defaulting Government functionaries in Ghana have been frozen.
Moreover , as the only one left in my Family, i have also resolved to leave Africa for a permanent stay in abroad. There i would continue my Education to fulfill my dream of becoming a medical doctor and also invest in a profitable bussiness venture in your country.
I am soliciting your help in this respect to assist in receiving the fund in your account. I am inexperienced at my age , therefor you would also take me as your son by investing the money wisely for me in a profitable bussiness venture in your country.
I am willing to part with an agreed percentage compensation, for your help and assistance in this regard.
Sir, i am counting on you as a father in this regard as i awaits your reply to this mail.
Best Regards,
Tomas Henry.
