Subject: I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE
Goodday
I am writing you this for a very urgent and profitable
business
proposal.
I am in search of a credible overseas partner to do business
with. I am
the Eldest son of late Mr Sule UkomMy father while he was
alive was a
very successful business man.
I and my family came to realise that he had
some money deposited with a Financial Security Company here
in Accra Ghana
totaling the sum US$8Million (US Dollars Eight Million)
about 2 years
before his death in 2004. We have made effort to collect the
said funds
with the Company but all our effort has proved abortive
because my father
before he died gave a standing instruction to then the
administrative manager
of the Company that in case of his eventual death ( he died
of Prostrate Cancer)
under no Condition should this funds be released to us
without us
providing/presenting a reputable investor who will stand as
our family investor
and present a good investment plan before the money can be
released to us.
My Late Father was into Gold Business before his death.Since
am a
Liberian, I can not stay here in Ghana anymore I will like
to leave and continue
my education out side Africa.
Now with all the conditions of the Financial Institute as
placed by my
late father, I would want you to come up as my family
investor so that we
can successfully collect this funds ($8m)from the Financial
institute.
Upon the collection of this funds, we can indeed go into a
profitable
investment that would be recommended by you otherwise we
would all go
separate ways if you want. In actual fact,we already have a
Copy of
the Certificate of Deposit in our possession and this we
will use to
perfect all necessary documents and swear to an affidavit of
claims at the High
court of law to back up your claims that you are our
prospective investor.
I will furnish you with the whole procedures to ensure that
the deal is
successfully concluded. We have agreed to give you 15% of
the total sum
while 5%has been set aside to cover for the cost of getting
the funds out and the rest is for myself and other members
of my family.
If this is agreeable by you, kindly get back to me so that
we can
proceed to claiming the funds. You should provide your
telephone and fax number for
effective communication.
I await hearing from you. You can email me via this
Email address which is(sylvesterukom@excite.com)
Yours Sincerely
Sylvester S. Mudi
