FROM MR.RICHARD AGBEGA
RUE 81 COCODY
GH- ACCRA-GHANADear Mr/Mrs,
Compliments of the day,
I have sent several mails to you through post but did not receive any
reply from you and i decided to contact you via email as that will be the
only source that will be convenient to me at this time.
Introducing myself , I am [rRICHARD AGBEGA] 19 years of age the son of His
Royal Highness late King [OTUMUMOR FIAGBE 1,] the traditional ruler of Kumassi in the
republic of Ghana My father before his death, was a gold and cocoa
merchant based in Accra, Ghana and Abidjan (Ivory Coast ) he was poisoned by
his business associates on one of their business trips in China.
Before the death of my father on 20th February 2006 in a private
hospital here in Ghana, He secretly called me to his bedside and told me that
he has a sum of USD$11.5 Millon deposited in asecurity company here in Ghana -Accra ,he told me that he
used my name as the next of kin when he deposited the money.
He also explained to me that it was because of the huge amount involved
in the deal that he was poisoned by his business associates, he advised me
to seek for a foreign partner in any country of my choice in europe ,
where there is no war or strife and transfer this money and use it for
investment purpose such as expansion of existing business and real estate
management,this according to him was because of the agreement he made with the
security company, on the day he deposited this money,
nee in this agreement, he stated to the
security company that the money will be transferred to his foreign partner in oversea
for the implementation of a business project however he did not
indicate anybody's name as the foreigner and he was about to supply
them with this information before the incident took place.
As a result of this the security company made it to be mandatory to me that the
money will be transferred in accordance to this deposit agreement which they
made with my father, this is the reason why i contacted you to assist me in
the following ways as my father did not indicate anybody's name as the
beneficiary.
1- contacted you to assist me in your country.
2)- To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to continue
my education and also invest this money into any good lucrative
investment.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as
compensation for your effort/ Input after the successful transfer of this fund into your
account overseas. If you are willing and able to assist me , kindly
forward to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable me forward to you the
prove documents showing the deposit of this fund after which i will send the
contact of the security company to you for you to contact them and know how the
money will be retrieve.
I look forward to hearing from you.

quame fiagbe
