Subject: GOOD DAY
Good day,
It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration
since telephone communication can not be suitable enough to
communicate to you at first.
Being the only Son of my father, late PIUS KABILA from
LIBERIA, My father was limited liability Cocoa and Gold
merchant in LIBERIA before his untimely death. After his
business trip to GHANA ,to negotiate on a cocoa and Gold
business he wanted to invest in Ghana.
A Week after he came back from GHANA, he was attacked with
my mother by unknown assassins, which my mother died
instantly but my father died after five days in a private
hospital on that faithful afternoon. I didn't know that my
father was going to leave me after I had lost my mother. But
before he DIED, it was as if he knew he was going to die. my
father, MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE he disclosed to
me that he deposited the sum of $10.4 million US Dollars
(TEN MILLION AND FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE
DOLLARS), and, AU GOLD DUST,which quantity is 450KG,in
ghana.
That the money was ment for his cocoa and Gold company he
wanted to establish in Ghana. Though, according to my father
he deposited the money in security company and handed to me
all the relevant documents of the deposited Box and
instructed me to seek for a reliable and trust worthy
partner for a life time investment abroad.Right now am in
the united nations refugee camp in accra ghana,because of
the war that took place in my country. Now I and my family
barrister in accra ghana have succeeded in locating the
security company here in Ghana.
Therefore, I am soliciting for your assistance to help me
stand as my foreign beneficiary,to receive this for me, so
that we can invest it in any meaningful/lucrative business
in your country because this is my only hope and source of
livelihood. I am anxiously waiting to hear from you so that
we can discuss the modalities of this transaction. All
informations needed is your personal telephone / fax number
, your home address and your personal photo .
Please kindly contact me through the above email
address.Thanks for your kind attention.
Yours sencerily
Smith kabila
