Dear Mr/Madam.
I know that this proposal might be a surprise to you but do consider it
as an emergency. In a nut shell, I am James Akamos , 24 years old from
the Republic of Sudan along side my Sister Rosemary Akamos, all from East
Africa, now am seeking asylum (refugee) in Ghana
I got your contact from the mission in Ghana for a possible transaction.
My late Father was the Minister for Aviation and Tourism in Sudan
[Mr. Joseph Akamos }.
But he was killed along side with my Mother during the civil war in Sudan
and all his properties were totally destroyed. However, after their death
I managed to escape with an important document -DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE of (US$6.5M).
The said sum was deposited by my late father in a Bank in Ghana. The deposit
documents indicate me as the next of kin. Presently, i have secured one
of the consignment in the security company but i 'm having difficult to
open .
I am saddled with the problem of securing a trust worthy foreign personality
to help me as follows:
(1) Stand on my behalf in Ghana as the beneficiary for the claim of the
inheritance from the Bank since the Bank advised that I should solicit for
an individual or corporate organization to claim the deposit for me as they
cannot release it directly to me due to my age and refugee status in Ghana.
(2)Transfer the money over to your own country and into your possession
pending my arrival to meet with you.
(3)Invest and manage the money for me in a good business pending my maturity.
(4) Help me secure my traveling documents to meet you as soon as my money
is released to you.
I will make you a joint partner of 30% out of the total sum of $4.5m,
Furthermore, on the acceptance and confirmation that you will help me, the
letter of authority will be issued in your name that will enable the Bank
to deal with you on my behalf. I am giving you this offers as mentioned
with every confidence on your acceptance to assist, adopt me as your Son
and manage the money for me.
Thanking you in advance for your anticipated and swift response on receipt
this letter. Please do reply me to this email address: james_akamos01@yahoo.com
and also you can contact us on this number: +233246940396.
Best Regards
Your's Son James Akamos .
