Subject: VERY IMPORTANT AND URGENT.
Attn,
After a discret enquiries, I'm able to discover your organization's astute ability to handle a business transaction of considerable volume which equally requires urgency and secrecy.
My name John Paul. a Congolese and a Son to late Gen. Joeffrey Paul one of the Army Generals who died during the recent gun shot that took the life of president Laurent-Desire Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo. My father later died two days in hospital in the shoot out that took the life of Kabila being perpetuated by his bodyguard.Before my father died, he instructed and confinded in me as his Son about his business and secrecy. As a matter of fact, my Father gave me some documents bearing the name of a security company in Accra the capital of Ghana, which he told me was the place he deposited huge amount of money when he was asigned to go and buy arms and ammunitions that would have been used to confront the rebels lead by Prof. Wamba dia Wamba.
This money which is in the tone of [$35million dollars]. is now lying at the vault of this security company.Armed with this documents that my father gave me, I flew to Accra, Ghana where I confirmed the documents. The security company showed me one sealed trunk box with the inscription "FAMILY ACHIEVE" with my name being used as the next of kin in the deposit form.
However, my Father had earlier informed me that he cleverly packed the [US$35
million dollars] in one sealed trunk box and told the security company that they contained works of art. This he did in order to conceal the money from being detected.
Now with Mr. Kabila's death, and equally with my father exit, I need a foreign partner with the image of God in him who will assist me and my sister to receive this money (US$35,000,000) in abroad, and who will equally not sidetrack me and my sister when this money gets into his possession.
On completion of this transaction, I wish to offer you 25% of the total sum for your assistance and I and my sister, will also come over to your country for a joint investment according to your directives. There is no risk involved both now and future Moreover,
if it is possible for you to come down to Accra-Ghana to help carry this fund we will be happy,but if you can't come me and my sister will work out modalities on how this money will be send to you through diplomatic means to you in your country.
Detail me your private telephone, fax,and for confidentail transaction.
God bless.
Your immediate response is highly needed
best regards from John Paul for the family.
