Dear Bas van Ulden,
Permit me to inform you of my desire to choose you as my Guidian/Investment Manager. I am Silas Watara,the son of late Mr and Mrs Watara Kwaki.My father was a very wealthy gold and cocoa merchant who based in Accra-Ghana and Lome-Togo respectively,my father died shortly after a brief outing he made with his business associates.
When my mother died on the 7th July 1995, My father took me so special because i was motherless and for the love my father had for my mother as his second wife.Before the death of my father on the 10th November, 2002, in a private hospital here in Lome-Togo. He called me on his bed side and told me that he had a moderate consignment containing the sum of US$9,000,000.00(nine million united states dollars)kept currently in a coded security company vault in here in Lome Togo on my name.
I need a very reliable person whom i will present to the company as my Guidian/Investment Manager, that i could entrust with the relevant Information associated with the deposit to help me remove the fund from the vault by issueing him a letter of authority.I need a reliable foreigner mostly because of the polygamouse nature of my family,i would not like my step brothers to know about this,it is only my father's private attorney that knows about this.
He said that it was because of his rapid growth in business that he was poisoned by his business assocaites, that i should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where i will transfer this money and use it for investment purposes,I want you to assist me in clearing this consignment into your care and custody overseas and also assist me in investing it properly and to serve as my Guidian/Investment Manager over this fund since I am 21 years old.
I will like you to make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you US$2,000,000.00(two million united states dollars)as compensation for your effort/input after the successful transfer of this fund to your nominated account.Then US$7,000,000.00(seven million united states dollars)will be for our Joint Venture Investment overseas.
