Subject: From: Kojo Annan. Son Of Former UN Secretary General. (Read Carefully & Reply ).
Dear Friend.
My name is Kojo Annan and I am the Son of his Excellency Mr. Kofi Annan, the
just Retired Secretary General of the United Nations. If you have been
following the events in the United Nations over the last few years, you will
remember the big scandal that took place when my father Mr. Annan was forced
into retirement and denied an appropriate pension. In retirement, my father
will no longer be able to parlay his position into international prizes.
Your contact information was referred to me by one of my trusted contacts,
whose name I am not at liberty to compromise.
I would like to approach you with regards to a profitable Business Proposal,
regarding the transfer of Thirty One Million Seven Hundred Thousand
($31,700,000) U.S. Dollars into your hands. For reasons I am sure you will
appreciate, I ask that you keep this communication confidential, and avoid
it falling into the hands of any agents of the Ghanian's Special Services
Monitoring commission that may be operating in Your area.
You see, my Father had a lot of enemies in the diplomatic circles, who will
envy his great fortune. It was they who removed him in the hope to gain
access to the money that he collected from honoraria and kickbacks
(practices that is quite common in the UN). Unfortunately, there was too
much scandal and media coverage in the aftermath of my father Mr. Annan,my
fathers enemies had promise to move openly to claim his money. This gave me
and a few trusted people who were still loyal to my Father, an opportunity
to move the money into a secret security company here in Accra Ghana.
The fund was deposited into a trunk BOX as a family treasure with a
security company here in Accra-Ghana . All i just need from you is to
present you as the beneficiary of the trunk box,so that the security company
can invite you for the collection of the box or they will deliver the box to
you in your country.
My Friend,my reason of doing this,is because i don't want the effort of my
father to get lost to the hands of his enemies.This fund will be used as a
family investment in your country.You will be helping my father to invest
this fund into a profitable business in your country.The Manager of the
security company had also assured me that the Box can be collected from any
of their Branch Offices in Europe,America,Asia countries and Canada.
I am contacting you base on the fact that i will not want the Ghanian's
Special Services Monitoring commission and the united nation present
government to know that my father had such amount of money to himself.At
this point because of my fathers position in the society, i assure you that
all the necessary legal documents backing up this transaction will be
forwarded to you.I will also be introduce you to my fathers attorney who
will be helping me to change all the documents to your name as the
beneficiary of the consignment in the security company,as soon as i receive
your urgent response.
Furthermore my father had used his good offices in several delicate
political situations. These included an attempt in 1998 to gain Iraq
compliance with Security Council resolutions; an agreement in 1999 to
resolve a stalemate between Libya and the Security Council over the 1988
Lockerbie bombing; diplomacy in 1999 to forge an international response to
violence in East Timor; the certification of Israel withdrawal from Lebanon
in September 2000, and further efforts, since the renewed outbreak of
violence in September 2000, to encourage Israelis and Palestinians to
resolve their differences through peaceful negotiations based on Security
Council resolutions 242 and 338 and the principle of "land for peace".
Mr. Annan has also sought to improve the status of women in the Secretariat
and to build closer partnerships with civil society, the private sector and
other non-State actors whose strengths complement those of the United
Nations; in particular, he has called for a "Global Compact" involving
leaders of the world business community as well as labor and civil society
organizations, aimed at enabling all the world and people to share the
benefits of globalization and embedding the global market in values and
practices that are fundamental to meeting socio-economic needs.
How can anyone deny such a record of accomplishment?,While we managed to do
this without the Ghanian's Special Services Monitoring commission becoming
aware of our activities, the money cannot remain in this country, because of
so many reasons that may not be in the favor of my family.The only option
available to us, is to move the money to a trusted partner, who is a
foreigner and cannot be linked to Mr. Kofi Annan or any member of the family
in any way.
I will be coming to your country as soon as you receive the box to discuss
the modality of investing the fund in your country and also what i will be
offering you for your assistance.I will love you get back to me with Your.

I am at your disposal to answer any questions you may like to ask,so don't
hesitate to contact me via my private email address: kjannan2@gawab.com. I
eagerly await your reply, though I must ask you to treat this matter with
great secrecy, lest you betray me and my family to the agents of the
Ghanian's Special Services Monitoring commission.
Respectfully Yours,
Kojo Annan.
