Subject: YOUR IMMEDIATE CO-OPERATION NEEDED
My Dear,
Good day. This very Confidential request should not come to you as a surprise. It is because of what is happening to my family urged me to contact you.
My name is Mr. Richard Koku, the second son of Mr. Paul Koku of Darfur sudan. At the height of the current political crises in my country, in which the Rebel group of the opposition party in my country fights with the government forces in their bid to take over the government of our country., my father and my elder brother were brutally slained to a painful death on the 6th of October 2005, in their struggle to protect some civilians who ran to take refuge in our house.
My father, during his life on earth was a prominent business man who trades on Diamond and Gold from some west African countries. He publicly criticized the crude policies and crime against humanity on the civilians by the Rebel Forces, in which they amputate young boys and girls for their failure to fight .I therefore decided to move my mother and younger sister to Central African Republic, for refuge. My Father, before his death, deposited the sum of Eight Million United States Dollars [ $ 8,000,000.00 M] with a financeSecurity house in the Republic of Ghana. For a cash and carry Diamond and Gold business with his business customers, which he never completed before he met his untimely death in the night of that faithful day. In view of this, and as the only surviving son on my father l decided to come to Ghana to conclude arrangements on how to secure this fund.
I therefore humbly solicit for your sincere assistance to help me clear and accommodate this fund in your country, until l join you since my country is not safe again for any transaction.
Now this is what l actually want you to do for me;
l want you to be presented to the finance/security house as the person l contacted to assist my family clear and accommodate this fund.
.To finally assist my family in managing this fund in any lucrative field in your country for at least three years after l must have joined you to start a new life.
Please, l hope you will be a very honest and reliable person to deal with, and also grant and view this very request with favour and much understanding of our unexpected bad situation presently.And also bearing in mind the confidential nature of this my request, l emphasize, please you keep every bit of it to yourself so as to protect my familys future and yourself rendering this help. Thank you in anticipation of your response.
Best Regards,
Mr Richard Koku
