Subject: IN YOUR OWN CONSIDRIEDTION
Beloved in Christ,
Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you.However,my proposal is
not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your
will.
Ms Poritce Akosua Manful are my names.I am 23 years old and the only
daughter/child of my late parents, Nana and Mrs Kwesi Manful. My father was
a highly reputable business magnet who operated in the capital city of Ghana
during his days. It is sad to say that he was poisoned in France during one
of his business trips abroad in October, 2005 and he passed away six months
and four days later { 15th April, 2006} at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital
here in Accra.
Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been
masterminded by an uncle who travelled with him at that time. But God knows
the truth! My mother died when I was just 3 years old and since then my
father took me so special.
My uncle is incharge of my father's businesses now.His wife just occupies a
seat and throws orders around as if the money they are sitting on belong to
them.I do all the house works while my uncle's children are meant to
sleep,eat and read their books.My uncle's wife will always complain that the
soup I prepared is not tasty due to lack of salt or excess of it.I am
shouted at or beaten up at every little mistake.I am fed up.All I want now
is to run away to a place where I would have peace to live and further my
education and I have contacted you to assist me to transfer out of Ghana the
sum of $US9.3Million and 160kg of AU Gold which my father deposited with a
Security Company for my upkeep when it became obvious he was going to die.
I want you to use this money to secure traveling papers, get a house, good
school and invest the rest for me in a lucrative business. My uncle do not
know about this money and my father,on his sick bed,warned me never to let
him know about it.I'll appreciate if you keep this letter secret or delete
it if you do not accept my proposal. You'll be rewarded with 20% of the
total funds should you accept to honour my proposal.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Ms Portia Akosu Manful
