Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you.
I am Benedict Kanteh the son of late Mr Morgan Kanteh from the republic of sierra loene. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the economic capital of Cote D'Ivoire before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business deal.
Two days before my father finally gave up in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $9.500.000 left in private security storage house in Europe , that he used my name as his only son for the next of kin in deposit of the consignment.,
he instructed me to move out of Cote d' ivoire immediately Before their powerful political crisis intervened which eventually resulted into a brutal civil war, I managed to escape to Republic of Ghana Through the help of my father's friend who is a traveler.
Further more he also explained to me that it was because of his wealth and some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance him from the deal they had that he was been poisoned. He then advised that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice who will assist me retrieve this consignment and transfer this money and use it for investment purpose,
However, i contacted you on the following;
That you will be required to negotiate on how best to transfer this fund without attracting much taxation.
That you will assist in providing me a permanent residence / Resident permit in your country after this money has been transferred to your country.
That you will be responsible in advising us to invest this fund a viable venture in your country.
That you will pay a short working visit (2 days) to meet with me face to face here, to enable me establish a personal contact with you to ensure some amount of confidence between us.
I have it in mind to reward you handsomely for your assistance, however i prepared to give you 30 % of the total sum and 35% share in the total investment to be made.
If you are interested to assist me, please let me know so that i can provide to you more relevant information regarding to the deposit such as the contact of the security storage house to further open communcation with them for the release of the consignment to your possesion immediately.
