Subject: assistance/investment
Dear Friend,
My name is Attah Seidu Bukari, I am 30 years old and I am from brong ahafo,
Ghana, Western Africa. I would be very glad if you can be my foreign
guarantor to help me claim and invest us$10m that I inherited from my late
father's on any profitable business ventures over there in your country. I
will offer you 25% for your assistance render while you will assist me
invest part of my own 80% on any profitable business venture there in your
country.
The fund is sealed airtight in a two aluminiun boxes. The two boxes is
presently deposited in a security company. My father's didn't registered the
contents of the boxes as funds, he registered it as his family treasury bill
for many security reasons. I am the next of kin to my late father vault
account.
Now, I have contacted the security company for the claim of my late father's
deposited boxes but due to my underage {30 years old}, the security company
are demanding for a guarantor that will claim the boxes for me to avoid a
future controversy. My father registered me to be 35 years old above before
having access or right to withdraw the boxes.
What I need from you is to send me your full name, personal contact address,
personal telephone number with attach copy of your international passport or
drivers license so that I can put in an application letter with this your
information and foraward to the security company as my foreign guarantor. I
will change the new ownership certificate to your name so we can have a
power of attorney to athourize the security company to let me withdraw the
two boxes on your behalf.
Immediately I withdraw the boxes and access the fund, I will then open a
local bank account in your name here in africa and deposit the whole amount
into this local bank account. We don't need your personal banking
information, immediatley, I lay my hands on the fund, I will even send you
us$25,000 to use in opening of a virgin foreign account in your name over
there in your country. I will submit the banking information to the local
bank to onward transfer the fund from your local bank account into your
opened virgin foreign account in your country.
While transfering the fund to your opened foreign account, We will obtain
all the necessary documents that will proof the source of this fund to your
bank or country that the source of this fund is not money laundering,
anti-terrorist money, drug traficking money or an embezzled money from
government account.
I will be waiting to hear from you soon so I can tell you what next to do. I
will also send you a deposit certificate for your verification.
Best Regards,
Attah Seidu Bukari.
