Subject: PLEASE COME TO MY AID
Dear Sir/Madam,
Please Permit me to inform you of my desire to choose you as my
Guidian/Investment
Manager. I am NKRUMAH LAWRENCE, the son of late CHIEF NANA and MrsKWEKU
NKRUMAH . 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 10th 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 20th 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$ 12,500,000.00 (Twelve million Five Hundred united states dollars) and
250 Kilogram (Kg)
of Gold Bar kept currently in a coded security company vault in here in
Accra Ghana 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
28 years old.
I will like you to make arrangement for me to come over to your country to
further my
education on university level.
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$ 10,500,000.00 (Ten million Five Hundred united states
dollars) will be for
our Joint Venture Investment overseas.
Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe
that this
transaction would be concluded within two weeks, from the day you signify
interest to assist
me.
Please treat this transaction as confidential for this is the only hope of
my survivals.
Thank you very much,
Regards,
NKRUMAH LAWRENCE
